To mitigate costly downtimes, this study investigates machine learning-based fault detection methods, comparing Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), Long ShortTerm Memory (LSTM) networks, and Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) . A benchmark dataset comprising stator current signals, leakage flux, and varying load conditions was employed to train and evaluate the models. While classification across seven fault categories remained challenging, the proposed framework achieved outstanding results in binary classification (healthy vs. faulty) . In particular, the LSTM model attained a near-perfect accuracy of 100%, and the PINN model achieved 99. 32%, both surpassing the baseline ANN performance of 99. 01% . These findings highlight the effectiveness of temporal modeling with LSTM and the added value of incorporating motor physics into PINNs, especially in scenarios with limited data. The results confirm that advanced machine learning models can significantly improve early fault detection, enabling more reliable predictive maintenance and reduced operational costs in industrial systems.  \nKeywords Induction motor, Predictive maintenance, Machine learning, Fault detection, Physics-informed neural networks, Stator winding short-circuit fault  \n1 Introduction  \nInduction motors play a fundamental role in modern industrial and transportation systems and are extensively used in pumps, fans, compressors, conveyors, and increasingly in electric vehicles (EVs) due to their high efficiency, robust construction, low cost, and ease of control [1, 2]. Despite these advantages, induction motors frequently operate under harsh and dynamic conditions, including fluctuating loads, thermal stress, inverter-fed power supplies, and electromagnetic disturbances. Such conditions accelerate the degradation of both electrical insulation and mechanical components, leading to faults such as bearing damage, rotor bar breakage, eccentricity, and stator winding ITSC faults. Among these, ITSC faults are particularly severe, as they can rapidly evolve into  \n© The Author(s)
