Abstract This paper presents the protection of 3 phase induction motor by using numerical relay. This project is based on the study of three phase induction motor and its faults and other is study of numerical relay. This protection system is different to others because of numerical relay. Motor is connected to the three phase supply with help of contactor and MCB. Contactor is provided continuous supply to the motor. CT is connected to the numerical relay. When any fault is occurred in the motor at that time relay is sense the fault and sends a tripping signal to the contactor. Contactor opens the contacts and motor is disconnected from supply. Now motor is perfectly protected.

INTRODUCTION

The main object of this control board is to provide protection against different types of faults for 3-phase Induction Motor. There are different types of sources for cause’s faults in power system. To provide protection to entire power system from the faults, Different protection scheme are used. There are different types of conventional relays use for protecting power system. But the Numerical overcome the other relays in matters of features. Numerical relay is Multifunction relay which can protect, control, and use for metering. Here we using numerical relay for protection of 3-ᴓ Induction motor for various faults likes thermal overloading, under voltage, over voltage etc.

Induction Motor and its Faults: The induction motors are the most widely used ac motor due to its low cost, simple and extremely rugged construction, high reliability, high efficiency, reasonably good power factor, low maintenance cost and simple starting arrangement. The mechanical system in industries like paper mill, sugar industry and cement industries are driven by induction motors. Thus the values of current, voltage and temperature of winding and speed of motor become very important factor for driving the system.

These factors directly affect the performance of motor. [1] Faults in Induction Motor:       

Description: The microprocessor based relay works on numbers that quantities value of signal its works on numbers so that’s why it’s known as “Numerical Relay” In which fig CT/PT are used to sense the current and voltage of the section of power system. Anti aliasing filter is low pass filter which is used for filtering of frequency components. Output is given to the sample and hold circuit where signal is held for specific duration of time. Now this value is given to ADC. The operation of ADC and sample and hold circuit and also multiplexer is controlled by microprocessor through respective program. One signal is given to the multiplexer input channel S1. Microprocessor sends a signal to the ADC for starting of conversion (SC) and ADC coverts the analog signal to the digital form. After microprocessor reads the end of conversion (EC) signal is used to known A to D conversion is complete or not. In case of abnormal condition is produced then microprocessor sends a signal to the trip circuit. After trip circuit opens the CB. [4] III. POWER CIRCUIT Working: Here, figure shows the power circuit for protection of three phase induction motor. In which three phase power supply is given to the induction motor with the help of MCB and main contactor. There are three CTs are used in the circuit which are connected to the three phase supply. CTs secondaries are connected to the LEDX numerical relay. CBCT is also used in the power circuit for protection against earth fault to the motor. Main contactor is connected to the relay contact through OFF and ON buttons. When we press the push button then main contactor coil A1 and A2 is energized and NO contact (M) is closed. Now motor is connected to the supply while the moment ON indication lamp lights up, hence motor runs on the three phase supply. When any fault occurs in the motor then the fault is sensed by the relay. Relay sends a tripping signal to the contactor. Now motor is connected from the supply at that time trip indication lamp lights up. Now relay acts as sensing element and main contactor acts as circuit breaker of the system.

We have used a system from the sample model of the MATLAB software. As shown in the fig. the function block is used which behaves as an over current relay. This over current relay is having inverse time characteristic whose time of operation decreases with the increase in the fault current. The constant source block acts as a current plug setting multiplier which is a pick value for the relay to operate. As shown in the Fig. the relay output is directly given to the three phase breaker which operates in event of fault. The display block will show the time of operation for clearing the fault from the system. [7] Project Model:

V. FUTURE SCOPE: This project may be used in various other ways, due to its cheap and cost efficient design. With help of numerical relay we can easily provide better protection in the industry. In the future we can learn about protection algorithms and microprocessor interfacing. In the future we can also make the protection system innovative and unique.

VI. CONCLUSION After worked on this protection system we can easily conclude that with help of numerical relay we get different features like self-checking of fault, adaptive capacity, self-monitoring, easily programmability, better communication, low burden and multiple functions. Numerical relay is different than other relay because of by using numerical relay we have done all the faults occurs in the motor and how to minimize these faults. This protection system helps in the industrial purpose how the motors can be protected.
