**1. Introduction**

Induction machines are one of the most important technical applications for both the industrial world and private use. Since they were invented (the achievements of Galileo Ferraris, Nikola Tesla, and Michal Doliwo-Dobrowolski), they have been widely used thanks to such features as reliability, durability, low price, high efficiency, and resistance to failure. Induction machines are used in different electrical drives and as generators.

The main objective of this Special Issue on "The Performance of Induction Machines" is to contribute to the development of induction machines in all areas of their applications.
