Abstract
Three-phase induction motors are accountable for 85 percent of the installed capacity of
the industrial driving systems. Therefore, the protection of these motors is necessary for reliable
operation of loads.
This report tends to develop for protection of three phase induction motor from single
phasing, over current, phase reversal, over voltage and under voltage. Due to this electrical fault
the winding of motor get heated which lead to insulation failure and thus reduce the life time of
motor. This fault is generated in induction motor due to variation in induction motor parameters.
When three phase induction motor runs continuously, it is necessary to protect the motor from
these anticipated faults. Three phase induction motor generally directly connected through the
supply, if the supply voltage has sag and swell due to fault the performance of motor is affected
and in some cases winding is burned out. When phase sequence (RYB) is reversed due to wrong
connection then motor start rotating in another direction, if supply system has only one phase and
other phase is disconnected then it is single phasing problem. If there is problem of under or over
voltage then this can harm motor severely or even it can damage it permanentaly.
