IoT-Based Induction Motor Monitoring System for Industries

Abstract

The most common kind of motor used in industrial applications is still the AC motor. In many applications, it is crucial to monitor and regulate the induction motor's settings, and there are numerous ways to guarantee dependable performance. This research focuses on the remote monitoring and management of a three-phase induction motor's numerous parameters using the Internet of Things (IoT). Short circuit motor temperature, current, and voltage are just a few of the characteristics that the sensor and sensor module keep track of and send to the processing unit, which displays the parameter on the server. To prevent system failures through the server gateway, the system also includes automatic and manual control methods to stop or start the short-circuited motor. With constant monitoring to detect failures and also to identify preventative maintenance, this system's adoption improves the machine's operational efficiency. The most prevalent type of motor in use today across all industries is the AC motor and the brilliant scientist Nikola Tesla's development of an induction motor. The induction motor is responsible for over 50% of the world's electricity consumption. 90% of industries utilize induction motors because they have the necessary properties like being naturally "self-starting" motors, and not requiring permanent magnets, brushes, commutator rings, or position sensors. Moreover, induction motors are more affordable and reliable than other types of motors, retain a strong power factor, require less maintenance, are extremely efficient, and are tiny in size.
