Induction motors (IMs) are the backbone of modern industry. Despite their robustness and reliability, they are prone to a range of problems that can result in periods of inactivity, diminished operational efficiency, and potential safety risks. Rapid identification and assessment of faults is important to maintain efficient motors operation and avoid serious malfunctions. The paper offers a comprehensive analysis of the existing body of knowledge in IMs’ faults detection, highlighting areas of deficiency and obstacles. Our review is built according to the IMs diagnosis process, presenting for each step of this process several approaches. Finally, we discuss the effectiveness of each fault classification approach in addressing data-driven challenges such as high-dimensionality, class imbalance, nonlinearity, noise, and overfitting. This paper highlights the rising transition to data-driven strategies, with deep learning increasingly taking center stage in tackling the complex challenges of fault diagnosis. It underscores the significant impact of these advancements on the field, actively facilitating future research into intelligent, real-time condition monitoring systems.
