SIGNIFICANT ACADEMIC PROJECTS
Microcontroller Based Protection of Three Phase Induction Motor Jan 2017- May 2017
• Designed and implemented the hardware of a cheap and reliable system for protection of three phase induction motor
from over/under voltage, overload and single-phasing.
• Developed assembly language program on the Keil platform for AT89C51 microcontroller.
• Utilized the LM324 comparator to compare the rectified and filtered dc voltage with a reference voltage and produce
the digital output.
• Integrated a 10 A/250 V AC relay driver module and 16X2 LCD display to make or break contacts and display the required
values respectively.
• Accomplished a cost saving of 37.5% when compared to existing models available by making use of innovative
technologies such as Hall effect sensor ACS712 with Instrumentation amplifier AD620 to measure current.
