It may be possible to simulate the broken bar by using a wound rotor machine and connecting three external resistors on the rotor side. Varying these resistors, should be possible to capture the faults. In case of a broken rotor bar in a squirrel cage motor, the current path through that bar is disrupted, creating an impedance mismatch.
