Introduction to Electric Motors and Their
Importance
Essential for Modern Life
Electric motors power countless devices, from household
appliances to industrial machinery, driving economic
growth and technological advancement.
Unveiling the Heart of Industry
Electric motors are vital to manufacturing, transportation,
and energy generation, playing a crucial role in modern
industrial processes.
Abstract
At present, industries are rapidly shifting towards automation. Today's industrial automations mostly based on
programmable controllers and robots. In order to do the tedious work and to serve the mankind, automation is developed in
industries. DC motor plays an important role in various industries hence we selected it. This project present a system to
provide protection, control and monitoring the condition of DC motor. Here Arduino Uno and various sensors like current,
voltage, speed and temperature sensors are used. Real time values of various parameters like current, voltage, temperature
and speed can be monitored in ThingSpeak mobile app. By continuous monitoring, the motor can be protected against fault
like short circuits, overloading, overheating etc. hence machine performance is improved.
