This work uses a methodology based on 2D-Finite Element Method (FEM) and on the Circuits Theory (Independent Currents Method) to analyze the inter-bar currents on the rotor of cage induction motors. The Multi-Slice Technique is used to consider the skewing effect. Three conditions are considered: one inter-bar resistance, two inter-bar resistances and three inter-bar resistances. The results show the distribution of currents in the rotor bars, short-circuit rings and transversal resistances at a given time. The fundamental component of the inter-bar and surrounding bar currents are shown to help understanding the phenomenon.
