In this tutorial, we will demonstrate how to build an efficient overload motor protection system using an Arduino and a current sensor. Motor overload can lead to overheating and damage, so it's crucial to implement a reliable protection mechanism. We will explain the working principle of the system and provide a step-by-step guide on connecting the current sensor to the Arduino. Additionally, we will showcase the programming code required to monitor the motor's current and trigger a protective action if an overload is detected. Whether you're a hobbyist or an engineer, this video will equip you with the knowledge to safeguard your motors effectively.
Code:-
#defineRelay A1
int analogPin = A0;// Current sensor outputlongint sensorValue =0;// variable to store the sensor value readvoid setup(){Serial.begin(9600);// setup serial
pinMode(Relay, OUTPUT);}void loop(){
sensorValue = analogRead(analogPin);// wait 2 milliseconds before the next loop
delay(200);Serial.println("ADC Value: ");Serial.println(sensorValue);// set value on which you want to switch off Motor. normally motor oprate between value 512 to 525.// I set 530 value on which motor switch off for 5 seconds.//if(sensorValue > 530)if(sensorValue >550){
digitalWrite(Relay, LOW);
delay(5000);}else{
digitalWrite(Relay, HIGH);}}
