Understanding how induction machines behave under internal faults is essential for designing reliable drives, protection logic, and control software. This tutorial walks through how to simulate an inter-turn short-circuit fault using Typhoon HIL Control Center, demonstrating how engineers can investigate abnormal machine behavior safely and with high fidelity. The demonstration will be shown on the induction losses calculation and thermal example model, where the induction machine with a squirrel cage is implemented.

The video shows how to configure the model, apply the fault, and observe its impact on currents, torque, and machine performance, all in a controlled virtual environment that enables repeated testing without risk to equipment. It is a practical resource for anyone working on motor drives, converter development, or system-level reliability studies.
