Introduction
— This paper illustrates a solution to protect the motor from overheating. There are many explanations for motor failure and one of them is overheating. Motor overheating causes mechanical damage and reduces lifespan. A real-time monitoring and data logging system have developed to reduce the percentage of damage and the rate of motor failure, improving the reliability of motor operation. The system has been developed using Arduino UNO and Lab VIEW software. Using a computer, this scheme allows for real-time surveillance and information logging opportunities. It also indicates the condition of the motor at the time of running with an alarming system and trips the motor when overheated. The advanced system is superior in terms of lower power consumption, adjustability, the capability of detecting the heating condition and actuating system accessibility. Practical operation shows that the system is stable, reliable, and simple to run and has the function to satisfy the environmental requirements.
