Abstract

This paper is for monitoring different parameters of induction motors in domestic and industrial environments. Various sensors are used here. Parameters of induction motor are obtained with the help of these sensors. Sensors used are IR sensor, MEMS sensor and Vibration sensor. An embedded system is employed for acquiring electrical signals from these sensors in a noninvasive manner. The obtained signals are locally processed and the values calculated by the embedded system are sending to the mobile phones as SMS using GSM modem. The real time monitoring of various motors can be done at a time.
