AC Motor Monitoring and Controlling Using IoT

Abstract

The design of IOT technology is shown to monitor and diagnose the performance of a three-phase induction motor and record crucial operational characteristics. Today's technology is rapidly tied to the Internet of Things (IOT), keeping things connected efficiently. For the purpose of gathering and processing induction motor parameters, the solutions given include an IOT-based platform. The parameters are made up of sensors, including humidity, temperature, voltage, and current sensors. With the help of the pocket IOT application, this data may be shown on a smartphone, accessed via web sites, and stored in a cloud platform. It will be promptly informed if performance limits are exceeded. To prevent motor downtime, an induction motor can be checked and immediate action taken can save money and time. Utilising IOT to monitor induction motors has several benefits, including notification of problem alerts and historical data for preventative maintenance. Recent technological advancements have greatly improved the quality, speed, and ease of our lives. This article explains how to manage and control induction motors (IOT) using the Internet of Things. The IOT is more effective and convenient for controlling systems because it can be used from anywhere via Wi-Fi. This intelligent system's main objective is to prevent induction motor failure by taking preventive measures. Because of its many benefits, including their self-starting nature, low cost, high power factor, and robust construction, induction motors are utilised in a wide range of applications, including those for electric vehicles, businesses, and agricultural areas. In order to maximise motor efficiency and assure safe and reliable operation, it is crucial to identify defects in motors as soon as possible using the best smart protection approach currently available. Remote monitoring is possible for the induction motor's speed, voltage, current, temperature, humidity, and other electrical, mechanical, and environmental parameters because errors in these areas seriously damage the motors and have an impact on the induction motor's ability to function in other applications. In this system for monitoring and controlling Induction using IOT, a number of sensors are employed to acquire the motor data in real-time and a relay is used to control the motor. The proposed system will collect and analyse induction motor parameters in real-time using an IOT-based platform.
