Most of the centrifugal pumps are powered by an induction motor. A squirrel cage induction
motor is used in a water pump that comes with a 3 phase AC supply. Such motors are less
efficient as they are standardized and not individually designed for specific applications.
Design and discuss the protection scheme of 3 phase induction motor 15KW by using over
current and thermal relay. Simulate the design in software (MATLAB/ETAP/Power factory)
with complete calculations. Also suggest some measures to increase mechanical life of motor.

SUGGESTION:
 Motor makers responded to this ventilation challenge by developing a number of
techniques called inverter class solutions. Many suggested over-sizing the pump motor to
ensure it will always produce the needed torque to drive the constant load, but still operate
below temperatures that might threaten or prematurely age the insulation. Others provided
external fans or blowers to ensure proper ventilation no matter what speed the pump motor
was driving the load. While both of these techniques work, they also significantly increase
the size of the induction motor/pump installation and the cost and energy consumption of
the combination.
 A fluid coupling is a simplified version of a hydrokinetic drive. Where a hydrokinetic drive
can vary its fluid volume in order to vary the reduction ratio, a fluid coupling has a fixed
volume of fluid with 1:1 speed ratio. Fluid coupling provide both soft starting and
mechanical overload protection.
 Shaft alignment can result in damage or decreased operating life for motors, gears and
bearings. Proper alignment of shaft is very important. According to the industrial study,
50% of all rotating machinery failures are the result of shaft misalignment. Misalignment
can cause destructive vibrations, bearing failure, shaft fatigue and seal leakage.
WORKING:
In this Complex Engineering Problem we have designed a protection scheme for the protection of
induction motor for short circuit and overload behavior by using different components like power
grid that is used to supply three-phase AC power, 2 winding transformers, circuit breakers, CT’s
, PT’s, different type of relays etc. First of all, we drew the circuit in ETAP. We use multiple
function relay. This relay has multiple functions like phase, neutral, negative sequence etc. We use
this relay for overcurrent relay thermal relay and overload relay. In overcurrent protection we use
this relay with phase and ground protection elements that are used to sense the phase and ground
(faulty signals) and then send the trip signal to the circuit breaker. In case of overcurrent protection,
overcurrent relay senses the signal and send the trip signal to the nearest relay. Minimizing the
damage to the load connected to the motor we select a motor protective relay that is suitable for
the load rather than the motor. For voltage protection of motor (overvoltage and under voltage
protection) we also use voltage relay. Potential transformer is used to sense the faulty signals and
then send trip signals to circuit breaker. Voltage relay is used to protect the motor for negative
sequence, overload, to protect the jam behavior of motor.
