INTRODUCTION

Three

phase induction motor generally

suffers from many faults.
When the three phase induction motor
supply with higher voltage than is rated
then induction motor starts overheated.
Themotorprotectionisrequiredto ensure
the smooth flow of work in industries .
This Project aims protection of three phase
Induction motors and to start and stop the
motor automatically. The circuit will protect
the motor from several faults and circuit will

OBJECTIVES
To

understand the working principle of

induction motor
To

recognize type of faults that might be

encounter by the motor
To

identify the factors & effects of several

faults
To

find effective way to protect the motor.

PROBLEM STATEMENT
This

type of motor encounter some problems

during production and operation process.
Types of failure :
Mechanical (i.e. over mechanical load,
mechanical stress)
Electrical (i.e. phasing faults,over and under
voltage, voltage unbalance)
Environmental(i.e.
radiation,conduction,surrounding heat)

TYPES OF FAULTS
Overloading
Stalling
Single

phasing
Under voltage
Reverse phase
Stator to earth fault

METHODOLOGY
Wheneverover/undervoltagesoccursthenthedualcompar

ator
willpredict and sends the signal.
The

dual comparator is initially set to the specified range, if

the voltage goes beyond the specified range it will send the
signal to the relay, and then relay stops the motor.
All

the conditions are displayed it over the LCD display.

APPLICATION
This

project can be used for any three

phase motor of any rating by just
connecting the relay connection to the
starter of motor.
Agriculture Motor
Industrial Motor
Cement Mills
Elevators
Textile Industries
Cranes

FUTUREENHANCEMENTS
A

real time clock can be added so that the ON time and

the OFF time of the motor can be entered and the system
will switch ON the motorand it will switch OFF at the
predetermined time.
An

electronic lock can be provided so that unauthorized

persons can't use the motor.
Wireless implementation by FM/RF.
This project can be extend to protect the induction motor
from phase reversal.

CONCLUSION
This project can be used with the three
phase Induction motor. The circuit willtake
full control of the motor andit will protect
the motor from several faults.
