ELECTRICAL PROJECTS ABSTRACT Embedded PIC Microcontroller Based Motor Protection System

Motors are the heart of the load in any manufacturing and process industries. They drive the conveyors, pumps, fans, blowers, cranes, compressors, mills, extruders and so many production and process equipments. Hence motors become very critical in the todayss industry and they are to be protected at all costs as the failure of motors cause enormous money loss due to production loss, downgrading of the processed materials and production of scrap.

Also the rhythm of production is affected and hence productivity suffers. With the complex nature of the loads of the motor and capability of the motor in mind, one has to carefully utilize the motor to its safe operating level without damaging it. Under utilization of the motor and also spurious tripping are to be avoided. Hence a complex motor protection system is the basic requirement which satisfies all the relevant factors.

The Feaures of the Project are Over Load Tripping Prevention: Over Voltage and Under Voltage Detection: Over Temperature Detection: Flame Detection in Motor Area Graphical illustration of Parameters
