Induction-Motor Protection and Condition Monitor
Microcontroller relay trip circuit detecting single-phasing, over-current, phase reversal, and thermal overload.
Project Overview
Protects 3-phase induction motors from electrical faults. Uses current transformers and ZMPT voltage sensors to continuously monitor phase symmetry and actuate magnetic contactor relays within 20ms of fault. ### Practical Student Engineering Solution Fully functional hardware demonstration prototype equipped with dedicated microcontrollers, precision sensors, actuators, and an interactive cloud/mobile telemetry dashboard. ### Key Learning Outcomes - Embedded C / MicroPython firmware architecture and sensor interfacing - IoT telemetry protocols (MQTT / HTTP / BLE / LoRaWAN) - Power regulation, hardware debugging, and PCB design principles - Comprehensive technical documentation aligned with IEEE academic standards
Modern commercial and industrial infrastructure requires automated, real-time sensing and telemetry. Conventional manual monitoring suffers from high latency, human error, and lack of predictive fault visibility for Induction-Motor Protection and Condition Monitor.
A turnkey engineering prototype integrating high-precision sensor modules, dedicated microcontroller unit, and cloud telemetry protocols to automate measurement, trigger alert thresholds, and provide remote dashboard control.
