In this paper, we will treat the diagnosis problem to accurately determine fault types. The judgement of fault types is accomplished by observing the cluster newly formed with faults and clustering the input current waveforms to intrinsically show the conditions with the dignet that is a clustering algorithm. The types of input current waveforms are, however, constrained during normal operation, though it considers the load character. In case of faults. new clusters are generated outside the clusters. which appear during normal operation, because the input current waveforms of the induction motor are generated by the type which is not observed in case of faults. The diagnosis about the types of faults is essential to building a fault tree about the induction motor, and it removes the causes of the faults using a fuzzy logic. We, first, constitute a fault tree, which connects with the parts and the entire system of the induction motor, and investigate fault modes which can be generated from the fault tree and the relationship of the cause and the effect of each part (of the motor). Also, we distinguish the faults of each part by means of inducing the said of fuzzy relation equations encapsulating the relationship of the fault modes and each part.
