Electrical Motor Interference Monitoring Based on Current Characteristics

Abstract

The use of electric motors of the industrial world is as a motor for production equipment. One example of using an electric motor is a conveyor. The conveyor has a long operating time. Conveyors can move objects from one place to another. Therefore, the condition of the conveyor machine must be good so that there are no operational errors. Errors in conveyor operation can result in delays in the production process. From these problems, research is made on a controller and monitoring of electric motors on the conveyor based on current parameters. This electric motor monitoring is based on Programmable Logic Control. This system is designed by utilizing a Current Transformer to measure the current in each electric motor. This current condition detects the condition of the electric motor in real time. If there is a change in a current that is not in accordance with the normal current, the system will detect a disturbance. This system can also control the direction of motor rotation. This system can inform all forms of disturbances to electric motors in the form of indicators and graphs of current movements in real time.
