Data acquisition system for induction motors with arduino

Abstract

Data acquisition systems have been used for many years in order to conduct analyses to increase efficiency, measure performance and detect failures in electrical motors.High costs and not being of modular use have prevented these systems from being commonly used. Various methods were developed for data acquisition from electrical machines. This paper presents data acquisition analysing and monitoring system using Arduino platform. Vibration, temperature and current values of a 3 phase induction motor are obtained by this data acquisition system via USB port. A system compatiable with all sorts of settings and of low cost was obtained as a result of using Arduino where data processing is conducted on a computer. Values obtained from the data collection system used in this study were found to be supportive to the values shown by the measurement devices from 3 phase induction motor.
