ABSTRACT
The project is designed to protect an induction motor from single phasing and over
temperature. Providing a protection system is very important in industries, using lot of motors
The basic idea for the development of this project is to provide safety to the industrial
motor/pump/lift Motor etc. If any of the phases, out of the 3 phases is missing or if the
temperature of the motor during operation exceeds the threshold value, motor stops immediately.
The system uses a 3-Phase power supply where three single phase transformers are connected to
it. If any of the phases is not available the corresponding transformer stops supplying power to
the circuit. This leads to one of the four relays getting switched OFF. The main relay which is
powered through a set of four relays gets disconnected because of one relay not being powered.
Thus the main relay that delivers 3 phase supply to the motor gets disconnected. A thermistor is
connected to the motor body to sense the temperature. If the temperature increases then supply to
Further the project can be enhanced by using current sensors for over load protection and
phase sequence sensor for protecting the motor from applying wrong phase sequence.

1.1 INTRODUCTION
There are a wide range of a.c. motors and motor characteristics in existence, because of the
numerous duties for which they are used. All motors need protection, but fortunately, the more
fundamental problems affecting the choice of protection are independent of the type of motor
and the type of load to which it is connected. There are some important differences between the
protection of induction motors and synchronous motors, and these are fully dealt with in the
appropriate section. Motor characteristics must be carefully considered when applying
protection; while this may be regarded as stating the obvious, it is emphasized because it applies
more to motors than to other items of power system plant.
For example, the starting and stalling currents/times must be known when applying overload
protection, and furthermore the thermal withstand of the machine under balanced and unbalanced
loading must be clearly defined. The conditions for which motor protection is required can be
divided into two broad categories: imposed external conditions and internal faults. Table 19.1
provides details of all likely faults that require protection.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Three numbers step-down transformers from 230v to 12v are used with their primary
connected in star and secondary are individually fed to three bridge rectifiers with filter
capacitors C2, C3 & C4 from where the DC voltage is fed to a quad Op-amp used as comparator
LP339/LM339 to the respective inverting inputs after passing through potential divider. The non-
inverting inputs of first three comparators are given pre-settable DC voltage by RV1, RV2 &
RV3. Another Op-amp is used to with its inverting input by a pre-settable voltage while its non-
inverting input is given to a series connected thermistor resistor arrangement across the 5v
supply. The output of all the 4 comparators are given to drive Q1, Q2,Q3,Q4 that operate
respective relays. Al the common NC contacts of the relays are connected in series and are fed
from a DC supply to another 3 CO relay coil with the other point of that connected to GND.
Three diodes D14, D15 & D16 are used respectively from each secondary generated DC and
finally filtered by C1. Reason behind this is to ensure un-interrupted DC supply for the circuit
operation in the event of failure of any one face. A regulator IC 7805 is used for providing steady
voltage reference to RV1, RV2, RV3 & RV4.
WORKING
In normal operations presets RV1, RV2, RV3 & RV4 are so set that the output of the
comparators is held low resulting in 4 relays phase1 relay,phase2 relay,phase3 relay, temperature
relay number4 all are in deactivated condition so the 12v dc flows through NC contacts of the
those relays to the coil of the 3CO relay forcing it be in active operation so that 3 phase supply is
available to the load through the NO contact of the 3CO relay. The project uses lamps instead of
the motor. In the event of failure of any phase the corresponding comparator output goes high
that switches ON the respective relay ,the contact of which opens to discontinue the 12V DC
supply to the 3CO relay coil. As the 3 CO relay now is deactivated the 3 phase motor connected
in series with the NO contacts open to stop the motor. Similarly while the temperature goes high
on the body of the motor, the mounted thermistor resistance falls to develop logic high for Q4 to
operate relay4 & disconnect the DC voltage to the 3CO relay coil. Thus in the process the motor
is protected against any phase failure or high body temperature.

2.4.1 TRANSFORMER
Transformers convert AC electricity from one voltage to another with a little loss of power.
Step-up transformers increase voltage, step-down transformers reduce voltage. Most power
supplies use a step-down transformer to reduce the dangerously high voltage to a safer low
voltage.
The input coil is called the primary and the output coil is called the secondary. There is
no electrical connection between the two coils; instead they are linked by an alternating magnetic
field created in the soft-iron core of the transformer. The two lines in the middle of the circuit
symbol represent the core. Transformers waste very little power so the power out is (almost)
equal to the power in. Note that as voltage is stepped down and current is stepped up.
The ratio of the number of turns on each coil, called the turn’s ratio, determines the ratio
of the voltages. A step-down transformer has a large number of turns on its primary (input) coil
which is connected to the high voltage mains supply, and a small number of turns on its
secondary (output) coil to give a low output voltage.
TURNS RATIO = (Vp / Vs) = ( Np / Ns )
Where,
Vp = primary (input) voltage.
Vs = secondary (output) voltage
Np = number of turns on primary coil
Ns = number of turns on secondary coil
Ip = primary (input) current
Is = secondary (output) current.
2.4.2 VOLTAGE REGULATOR 7805
Features
• Output Current up to 1A.
• Output Voltages of 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 24V.
• Thermal Overload Protection.
• Short Circuit Protection.
• Output Transistor Safe Operating Area Protection.
Description
The LM78XX/LM78XXA series of three-terminal positive regulators are available in the
TO-220/D-PAK package and with several fixed output voltages, making them useful in a Wide
range of applications. Each type employs internal current limiting, thermal shutdown and safe
operating area protection, making it essentially indestructible. If adequate heat sinking is
provided, they can deliver over 1A output Current. Although designed primarily as fixed voltage
regulators, these devices can be used with external components to obtain adjustable voltages and
currents.
2.4.3 RECTIFIER
Capacitive filter is used in this project. It removes the ripples from the output of rectifier
and smoothens the D.C. Output received from this filter is constant until the mains voltage and
load is maintained constant. However, if either of the two is varied, D.C. voltage received at this
point changes. Therefore a regulator is applied at the output stage.
The simple capacitor filter is the most basic type of power supply filter. The use of this
filter is very limited. It is sometimes used on extremely high-voltage, low-current power supplies
for cathode-ray and similar electron tubes that require very little load current from the supply.
This filter is also used in circuits where the power-supply ripple frequency is not critical and can
be relatively high. Below figure can show how the capacitor changes and discharges.
2.4.5 RELAY
A relay is an electrically operated switch. Many relays use an electromagnet to operate a
switching mechanism mechanically, but other operating principles are also used. Relays are used
where it is necessary to control a circuit by a low-power signal (with complete electrical isolation
between control and controlled circuits), or where several circuits must be controlled by one
signal.
A relay is an electrically operated switch. Current flowing through the coil of the relay
creates a magnetic field which attracts a lever and changes the switch contacts. The coil current
can be on or off so relays have two switch positions and most have double throw (changeover)
switch contacts as shown in the diagram.
Relays allow one circuit to switch a second circuit which can be completely separate
from the first. For example a low voltage battery circuit can use a relay to switch a 230V AC
mains circuit. There is no electrical connection inside the relay between the two circuits; the link
is magnetic and mechanical.
The coil of a relay passes a relatively large current, typically 30mA for a 12V relay, but it
can be as much as 100mA for relays designed to operate from lower voltages. Most ICs (chips)
cannot provide this current and a transistor is usually used to amplify the small IC current to the
larger value required for the relay coil. The maximum output current for the popular 555 timer
IC is 200mA so these devices can supply relay coils directly without amplification.
Relays are usually SPDT or DPDT but they can have many more sets of switch contacts,
for example relays with 4 sets of changeover contacts are readily available. For further
information about switch contacts and the terms used to describe them please see the page on
switches.
Most relays are designed for PCB mounting but you can solder wires directly to the pins
providing you take care to avoid melting the plastic case of the relay.
The supplier's catalogue should show you the relay's connections. The coil will be
obvious and it may be connected either way round. Relay coils produce brief high voltage
'spikes' when they are switched off and this can destroy transistors and ICs in the circuit. To
prevent damage you must connect a protection diode across the relay coil.
2.4.6 THREE PHASE INDUCTION MOTOR
Principles of Operation
The electrical section of the three-phase induction motor as shown in Figure 3.6.1
consists of the fixed stator or frame, a three-phase winding supplied from the three-phase mains
and a turning rotor. There is no electrical connection between the stator and the rotor. The
currents in the rotor are induced via the air gap from the stator side. Stator and rotor are made of
highly magnetizable core sheet providing low eddy current and hysteresis losses.
For the smallest pole number of 2p = 2 in a 50 Hz circuit the highest synchronous speed
is ns = 3000/min-1.
Rotor
The rotor in induction machines with squirrel-cage rotors consists of a slotted cylindrical
rotor core sheet package with aluminum bars which are joined at the front by rings to form a
closed cage. The rotor of three-phase induction motors sometimes is also referred to as an
anchor. The reason for this name is the anchor shape of the rotors used in very early electrical
devices. In electrical equipment the anchor's winding would be induced by the magnetic field,
whereas the rotor takes this role in three-phase induction motors.
Slip
The difference between the synchronous speed ns and the speed n in rated operation is called slip
s and is generally expressed in percent. Depending on the size of the machine, in rated operation
it is roughly 10 to 3%. Slip is one of the most important characteristics of an induction machine.
2.4.7 LM339
DESCRIPTION
These comparators also have a unique characteristic in that the input common-mode
voltage range includes ground, even though they are operated from a single power supply
voltage. The LM339 series was designed to directly interface with TTL and CMOS. When
operated from both plus and minus power supplies, the LM339 series will directly interface with
MOS logic where their low power drain is a distinct advantage over standard comparators.
2.4.8 THERMISTOR
A thermistor is a type of resistor whose resistance varies significantly (more than in standard
resistors) with temperature. The word is a portmanteau of thermal and resistor. Thermistors are
widely used as inrush current limiters, temperature sensors, self-resetting over current protectors,
and self-regulating heating elements.
Thermistors differ from resistance temperature detectors (RTD) in that the material used
in a thermistor is generally a ceramic or polymer, while RTDs use pure metals. The temperature
response is also different; RTDs are useful over larger temperature ranges, while thermistors
typically achieve a higher precision within a limited temperature range [usually −90 °C to
130 °C].
2.4.9 BC547
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS:
The BC547 transistor is an NPN Epitaxial Silicon Transistor. The BC547 transistor is a
general-purpose transistor in small plastic packages. It is used in general-purpose switching and
amplification BC847/BC547 series 45 V, 100 mA NPN general-purpose transistors.
We know that the transistor is a "CURRENT" operated device and that a large current
(Ic) flows freely through the device between the collector and the emitter terminals. However,
this only happens when a small biasing current (Ib) is flowing into the base terminal of the
transistor thus allowing the base to act as a sort of current control input. The ratio of these two
currents (Ic/Ib) is called the DC Current Gain of the device and is given the symbol of hfe or
nowadays Beta, (β). Beta has no units as it is a ratio. Also, the current gain from the emitter to
the collector terminal, Ic/Ie, is called Alpha, (α), and is a function of the transistor itself. As the
emitter current Ie is the product of a very small base current to a very large collector current the
value of this parameter α is very close to unity, and for a typical low-power signal transistor this
value ranges from about 0.950 to 0.999.

Diodes are used to convert AC into DC these are used as half wave rectifier or full wave
rectifier. Three points must he kept in mind while using any type of diode.
1. Maximum forward current capacity
2.Maximum reverse voltage capacity
3.Maximum forward voltage capacity
PN JUNCTION OPERATION
Now that you are familiar with P- and N-type materials, how these materials are joined
together to form a diode, and the function of the diode, let us continue our discussion with the
operation of the PN junction. But before we can understand how the PN junction works, we must
first consider current flow in the materials that make up the junction and what happens initially
within the junction when these two materials are joined together.
Current flow through the P-type material is illustrated. Conduction in the P material is by
positive holes, instead of negative electrons. A hole moves from the positive terminal of the P
material to the negative terminal. Electrons from the external circuit enter the negative terminal
of the material and fill holes in the vicinity of this terminal. At the positive terminal, electrons
are removed from the covalent bonds, thus creating new holes. This process continues as the
steady stream of holes (hole current) moves toward the negative terminal
2.4.11 LED
Light Emitting Diodes (LED) have recently become available that are white and bright,
so bright that they seriously compete with incandescent lamps in lighting applications. They are
still pretty expensive as compared to a GOW lamp but draw much less current and project a
fairly well focused beam.
The diode in the photo came with a neat little reflector that tends to sharpen the beam a
little but doesn't seem to add much to the overall intensity.
When run within their ratings, they are more reliable than lamps as well. Red LEDs are
now being used in automotive and truck tail lights and in red traffic signal lights. You will be
able to detect them because they look like an array of point sources and they go on and off
instantly as compared to conventional incandescent lamps.
Types of LED’S
LEDs are produced in an array of shapes and sizes. The 5 mm cylindrical package is the most
common, estimated at 80% of world production. The color of the plastic lens is often the same as the
actual color of light emitted, but not always. For instance, purple plastic is often used for infrared
LEDs, and most blue devices have clear housings. There are also LEDs in extremely tiny packages,
such as those found on blinkers and on cell phone keypads. The main types of LEDs are miniature,
high power devices and custom designs such as alphanumeric or multi-color.
The primary characteristics of resistors are their resistance and the power they can
dissipate. Other characteristics include temperature coefficient, noise, and inductance. Less well-
known is critical resistance, the value below which power dissipation limits the maximum
permitted current flow, and above which the limit is applied voltage. Critical resistance depends
upon the materials constituting the resistor as well as its physical dimensions; it's determined by
design.
Resistors can be integrated into hybrid and printed circuits, as well as integrated
circuits. Size, and position of leads (or terminals) are relevant to equipment designers; resistors
must be physically large enough not to overheat when dissipating their power.
VARIABLE RESISTORS
Adjustable resistors
A resistor may have one or more fixed tapping points so that the resistance can be
changed by moving the connecting wires to different terminals. Some wire wound power
resistors have a tapping point that can slide along the resistance element, allowing a larger or
smaller part of the resistance to be used.
Where continuous adjustment of the resistance value during operation of equipment is
required, the sliding resistance tap can be connected to a knob accessible to an operator. Such a
device is called a rheostat and has two terminals.
Four-band resistors
Four-band identification is the most commonly used color-coding scheme on resistors. It
consists of four colored bands that are painted around the body of the resistor. The first two
bands encode the first two significant digits of the resistance value, the third is a power-of-ten
multiplier or number-of-zeroes, and the fourth is the tolerance accuracy, or acceptable error, of
the value. The first three bands are equally spaced along the resistor; the spacing to the fourth
band is wider. Sometimes a fifth band identifies the thermal coefficient, but this must be
distinguished from the true 5-color system, with 3 significant digits.
For example, green-blue-yellow-red is 56×104 Ω = 560 kΩ ± 2%. An easier description
can be as followed: the first band, green, has a value of 5 and the second band, blue, has a value
of 6, and is counted as 56. The third band, yellow, has a value of 104, which adds four 0's to the
end, creating 560,000 Ω at ±2% tolerance accuracy. 560,000 Ω changes to 560 kΩ ±2% (as a
kilo- is 103).
Each color corresponds to a certain digit, progressing from darker to lighter colors, as
shown in the chart below.

PRESENTATION
LOW COST: Induction machines are very cheap when compared to synchronous and DC
motors. This is due to the modest design of induction motor. Therefore, these motors are
overwhelmingly preferred for fixed speed applications in industrial applications and for
commercial and domestic applications where AC line power can be easily attached.
LOW MAINTENANCE COST: Induction motors are maintenance free motors unlike dc
motors and synchronous motors. The construction of induction motor is very simple and hence
maintenance is also easy, resulting in low maintenance cost.
SPEED VARIATION: The speed variation of induction motor is nearly constant. The speed
typically varies only by a few percent going from no load to rated load.
HIGH STARTING TORQUE: The staring torque of induction motor is very high which makes
motor useful for operations where load is applied before the starting of the motor.3 phase
induction motors will have self starting torque unlike synchronous motors. However, single-
phase induction motors does not have self starting torque and are made to rotate using some
auxiliaries.
DURABILITY: Another major advantage an induction motor is that it is durability. This makes
it the ideal machine for many uses. This results the motor to run for many years with no cost and
maintenance.
All these advantages make induction motor to use in many applications such as industrial,
domestic and in many applications.
