Microcontroller Based Embedded System for Induction Motor Protection

Induction motors are the workhorses of industry because of their roughness and versatility. The use of induction motors in industry is widespread and it can be exposed to different operational environments, manufacturing defects, etc. The present work emphases on the development of a low cost 8051 core microcontroller based system that will monitor the electrical parameter like input voltage, input current and power factor of the line. During any abnormality the developed system will act to ensure the protection of the motor with various fault mitigation algorithms.
