Design of Smart Device for Induction Motor Condition Monitoring

Abstract

Abstract In industrial field, induction motors are used as a driving tools that requires a relatively constant speed. Power consumption in an induction motor with constant speed can cause a waste of electrical energy. A good performance of an induction motor will determine the quality of production in the industry. Every induction motor must be monitored regularly. This study aims to design a device for detecting the vibrations that occur in an induction motor. Besides, it would be an indicator of the maximum load limit on an induction motor which can later be used as protection on an induction motor. The result showed that the design could be used for providing a diagnosis of the vibration conditions that occur in an induction motor. On the other hand, the design was useful for monitoring and controlling through a simple control circuit designed based on the Internet of Things.
