Abstract: This study presents a protection scheme for three-phase induction motor from incipient faults using embedded microcontroller. The induction motor experiences several types of electrical faults like over/under voltage, over load, phase reversing, unbalanced voltage, single phasing and earth fault. Due to these electrical faults, the windings of the motor get over heated which lead to insulation failure and thus reduce the life time of the motor. To analyze the behavior of induction motor during electrical faults, the induction motor is modeled using arbitrary reference frame theory in MATLAB/Simulink environment; the faults are created and the variation of the induction motor parameters under faulty conditions are observed. Based on the analysis, embedded controller is developed to protect the motor from incipient faults.
