Abstract
In this study, a highly innovative IoT-based solution for controlling ten three-phase induction motors at the wastewater disposal facility is developed. Instead of conventional, labor-intensive, and error-prone manual operation of these motors, important equipment worth significant amounts may be jeopardized. Contactless motor control, utilization of ultrasonic sensors for real-time monitoring of wastewater levels, preventing motor dry running, and presentation of data through a web-based interface are the salient features of our system. Our results show a high-saving in-energy usage. In addition, we propose an IoT-driven methodology to monitor and evaluate the performance of three-phase induction motors. This approach involves harvesting and processing critical motor parameters through IoT technology, comprising voltage, current, temperature, and vibration sensors. These data are cloud-based and can be accessed from web and smartphone applications, enabling the provision of prompt fault notifications with historical data for predictive purposes. Further, we discuss an intelligent control board of the inductive appliances and focus on the Three-phase Induction motors. Our system integrates conventional protection with IoT-based technology. It works under both automatic and manual control. Finally, we discuss a real-time monitoring system for three-phase motors using wireless networks.
