Induction Motor Protection System

The main concept of the project is to develop an induction motor protection system for
protecting the motors from any damages occurring from single phasing and over temperature
conditions.
The induction motors are predominant in industrial applications. The motorruns on three phase
supplyand an acceptable temperatureto maintain the loads at desired conditions.But; if any phase
goes missing or there is increase in the temperature of thewindings it damages the motor. Thus,
thisproject helps to provideprotection to the industrial motors by removing the power tothe motor
immediately if any of the phases misses out of thethreephases, or if the temperature of the motor
exceeds the threshold value.
The proposed system uses three-phase power supply where in three single-phase transformers are
connected to it. The system has a set of op-amps used as comparatorsfor comparing input
voltages. A thermistor is connected to the motor body to sense the temperature of the motor. The
motor is operated by switching the main relay, which is operated byother set of relays by sensing
single phasing and over temperature conditions.
The project in feature can be enhanced by using current sensors for overload protection and
phase-sequence sensor for protecting the motor from applying wrong phase sequence.
