FAULT DIAGNOSIS OF INDUCTION MOTOR USING PLC

Abstract

Induction motors are used in many industrial applications in a wide range of operating areas as they have simple and robust structure, and low production costs. Induction motors are now being used more as compared to before due to their certain advantages such as versatility, dependability and economy, good self-starting capability, offers users simple, rugged construction easy maintenance, low cost and reliability. The reliability of an induction motor is of great Importance in industrial as well as commercial, aerospace and military applications. Also the knowledge about fault mode behavior of an induction motor drive system is extremely important from the standpoint of improved system design, protection, and fault tolerant control.[1] In this paper different problems are dealt, such as overvoltage, over current , over temperature, over speed, inrush current, vibration monitoring which are being faced by IM’s during it’s course of operation. There are various methods for fault detection and protection of IM. Some of them are On-line fault detection, Stator fault monitoring techniques, Microcontrollers based protection system and Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) based protection system. In this study, the method used is PLC based protection system of IM.
