Title

Monitoring and protection system of three-phase induction motor

Abstract

This project presents the design and implementation of a monitoring and protection system for three-phase induction motors, focusing specifically on safeguarding against single-phasing, Undervoltage, and overvoltage faults. Utilizing the PIC16F877A microcontroller, the system continuously monitors the electrical parameters of the motor, providing real-time data on voltage levels. The system is designed, to detect single phasing, where one phase of the motor loses power, as well as conditions of undervoltage and overvoltage, which can significantly affect motor performance and longevity. Upon detecting any of these faults, the system immediately triggers an alarm, cuts off power to prevent damage, and sends a notification message to the maintenance team for prompt intervention.
