Simulation of Motor Relay Protection Circuit
This project simulates protected system that includes a source, circuit breaker, transformer, and motor. An experimental 3-Phase Squirrel Cage Induction Motor with Fault Simulator is available at the microgrid laboratory of SQU. Reliability of induction motors is crucial for continuous service in industrial applications. Over-current relay operates at currents exceeding 16A, while under-current relay triggers below 12A. The numerical relay (L&T MPR 300) has been designed to protect the motor against five major problems which are Thermal overload, Single phasing, Earth fault, locked rotor and under current.
