ABSTRACT
Many of our costly appliances require three-phase AC supply for operation. Failure of any of
the phases makes the appliance prone to erratic functioning and may even lead to failure.
Hence it is of paramount importance to monitor the availability of the three-phase supply and
switch off the appliance in the event of failure of one or two phases. The power to the
appliance should resume with the availability of all phases of the supply with certain time
delay in order to avoid surges and momentary fluctuations.
It requires three-phase supply, three 12V relays and a timer IC NE555 along with 230V coil
contactor having four poles. The main advantage of this protector circuit is that it protects
three-phase appliances from failure of any of the mounted on the backside of cabinet.
Connect the appliance through external wires.
Phases by disconnecting the power supply through the contactor and automatically restores
the three-phase supply to the appliance (with reasonable time delay) when all the phases are
available. Assemble the circuit on a general- purpose PCB and enclose in a cabinet with the
relays and contactor

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION
Many of our costly appliances require three-phase AC supply for operation. Failure of any of
the phases makes the appliance prone to erratic functioning and may even lead to failure.

POWER SUPPLY
2.1 DC POWER SUPPLY: -
An AC powered unregulated power supply usually uses a transformer to convert the voltage
from the mains to a different, now a day’s usually lower, voltage. If it is used to produce DC,
a rectifier is used to convert alternating voltage to a pulsating direct voltage, followed by a
filter, comprising one or more capacitors, resistors and sometimes inductors, to filter out
(smooth) most of the pulsating. A small remaining unwanted alternating voltage component
at mains or twice mains power frequency (depending upon whether half or full wave
rectification is used) ripple is unavoidably superimposed on the direct output voltage.
For purpose such as charging batteries the ripple is not a problem, and the simplest
unregulated mains powered DC power supply circuit consists of a transformer driving a
single diode in series with resistor.
Before the introduction of solid state electronics, equipment used valves (vacuum tubes)
which required high voltages; power supplies used step-up transformers, rectifiers and filters
to generate one or more direct voltages of some hundreds of volts, and a low alternating
voltage for filaments. Only the most advanced equipment used expensive and bulky regulated
power supplies.
2.2 RECTIFIER OPERATION: -
Transformer‘s primary is connected to main 220 volt single phase supply and secondary (12-0) is used for rectifier circuit. Since transformer’s secondary of (12-0) therefore bridge rectifier is required. It consists of four diodes which makes bridge network. When positive half cycle comes then diode D1&D3 conduct which provides positive potential at output. When negative half cycle comes then diode d2&d4 conduct and provide negative potential.
Current directions for the full wave bridge rectifier circuit are as shown in figure below

Efficiency is the ratio of the DC output power to the AC input power.
Thus ŋ = DC output power

Vdc/Rl (2Vm/π)2 8
Vrms/Rl (Vm/√2)2 π2
Ŋ = 81.2%
The maximum efficiency of a full wave rectifier is 81.2%.
2.4 Rectifier with filter
The output of the full wave rectifier contains both AC and DC components. A majority of the applications which cannot tolerate a high value ripple, necessitates further processing of the rectified output. The undesirable ac components i.e. the ripple can be minimized using filters. The output of a rectifier filter is fed as input to the filter. The output of filter is not a perfect DC, but it also contains small AC components.
CAPACITOR FILTER
A capacitor filter connected directly across the load . the property of the capacitor is that it allows AC component and blocks DC components. The operation of the capacitor filter is to short the ripple to ground but leave the DC to appear at output when it is connected across the pulsating DC voltage.
During the positive half cycle, the capacitor charges upto th peak value of the transformer secondary voltage Vm and will try to maintain this value of the full wave input drops to zero. Capacitor will discharge through the load slowly until the transformer secondary voltage gain increase to a value greater than the capacitor voltage.
The diode conducts for a period, which depends on the capacitor voltage. The diode will conduct when the transformer secondary voltage becomes more than the diode voltage. This is called the cut in voltage. The diode stops conducting when the transformer voltage becomes less than the diode voltage. This is called cut out voltage. The ripple may me decreased by increased C or RL (both) with a resulting increase in the DC output voltage.
The output wave form the full wave rectifier with filter and without filter is shown:

PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC CONTROLLER
A Programmable controller is a solid state user programmable control system with
functions to control logic, sequencing, timing, arithmetic data manipulation and counting
capabilities. it can be viewed as an industrial computer that has a central processor unit,
memory ,input, output interface and a programming device. the central processing unit
provides the intelligence of the controller .it accepts data ,status information from various
sensing devices like limit switches ,executes the user control to a program store in the
memory and give appropriate commands to devices like solenoid valves, switches etc. Input
output interface is the communication link between field devices and the controller ; field
devices are wired to the input output interfaces.

I/O module system of a PLC consist of different I/O pins i.e. 16 pin, 32 pin, but in this

turn off the motor. For this I/O module wiring is made to connect the field appliance.
Here the controller will not be used therefore input module is connected to the output
module which provides 12 volt dc supply to energize the relay coil.
Here controller will not be used so the above ladder logic will be converted into a

CHAPTER 4
PHASE PROTECTION CIRCUIT
Many of costly electrical appliances require three phase power supply for operation.
Failure of any of the erratic functioning and may even lead to failure. The power to the
appliance should resume with the availability of all phases of the supply with certain time
delay in order to avoid surges and momentary fluctuations.
The complete circuit of a three phase appliance protector is described here. It
requires three phase supply three 12 volt relays and a timer IC NE555 along with 230V coil
contactor having four poles. Here 555 timer IC triggers only when all the phases (R, Y, B) are
available. It provides a delay of approximately four second, which energizes relay RL3 and
its N/O contact, closes to connect the line to the energizing coil of four pole contactor relay
RL4.
COMPONENTS OF PROTECTION CIRCUIT
4.1 RELAY
A relay is an electrically operated switch. Many relays use an electromagnet to
operate a switching mechanism, but other operating principles are also used. Relays find
applications where it is necessary to control a circuit by a low-power signal, or where several
circuits must be controlled by one signal. The first relays were used in long distance telegraph
circuits, repeating the signal coming in from one circuit and re-transmitting it to another.
Relays found extensive use in telephone exchanges and early computers to perform logical
operations. A type of relay that can handle the high power required to directly drive an
electric motor is called a contactor. Solid-state relays control power circuits with no moving
parts, instead using a semiconductor device to perform switching. Relays with calibrated
operating characteristics and sometimes multiple operating coils are used to protect electrical
circuits from overload or faults; in modern electric power systems these functions are
performed by digital instruments still called "protection relays".

4.2 CONTACTORS
In semiconductor testing, contactor can also refer to the specialized socket that
connects the device under test. In process industries a contactor is a vessel where two streams
interact, for example, air and liquid. A contactor is an electrically controlled switch used for
switching a power circuit, similar to a relay except with higher current ratings. A contactor is
controlled by a circuit which has a much lower power level than the switched circuit.
Contactors come in many forms with varying capacities and features. Unlike a circuit
breaker, a contactor is not intended to interrupt a short circuit current. Contactors range from
those having a breaking current of several amperes to thousands of amperes and 24 V DC to
many kilovolts.
The physical size of contactors ranges from a device small enough to pick up with one
hand, to large devices approximately a meter (yard) on a side. Contactors are used to control
electric motors, lighting, heating, capacitor banks, thermal evaporators, and other electrical
loads. Construction Albright SPST DC contactor, sometimes used in EV conversions
Powerful DC contactor with electro- pneumatic drive A contactor has three components. The
contacts are the current carrying part of the contactor. This includes power contacts, auxiliary
contacts, and contact springs. The electromagnet ("coil") provides the driving force to close
the contacts.
The enclosure is a frame housing the contact and the electromagnet. Enclosures are
made of insulating materials like Bakelite, Nylon 6, and thermosetting plastics to protect and
insulate the contacts and to provide some measure of protection against personnel touching
the contacts. Open-frame contactors may have a further enclosure to protect against dust, oil,
explosion hazards and weather. Magnetic blowouts use blowout coils to lengthen and move
the electric arc. These are especially useful in DC power circuits. AC arcs have periods of
low current, during which the arc can be extinguished with relative ease, but DC arcs have
Anil Maurya
Electrical & Electronics Engineer 18
continuous high current, so blowing them out requires the arc to be stretched further than an
AC arc of the same current. The magnetic blowouts in the pictured Albright contactor (which
is designed for DC currents) more than double the current it can break, increasing it from 600
A to 1,500 A. Sometimes an economizer circuit is also installed to reduce the power required
to keep a contactor closed; an auxiliary contact reduces coil current after the contactor closes.
A somewhat greater amount of power is required to initially close a contactor than is required
to keep it closed.
Such a circuit can save a substantial amount of power and allow the energized coil to
stay cooler. Economizer circuits are nearly always applied on direct-current contactor coils
and on large alternating current contactor coils. A basic contactor will have a coil input
(which may be driven by either an AC or DC supply depending on the contactor design). The
coil may be energized at the same voltage as a motor the contactor is controlling, or may be
separately controlled with a lower coil voltage better suited to control by programmable
controllers and lower-voltage pilot devices. Certain contactors have series coils connected in
the motor circuit; these are used, for example, for automatic acceleration control, where the
next stage of resistance is not cut out until the motor current has dropped.
Operating principle unlike general-purpose relays, contactors are designed to be directly
connected to high-current load devices. Relays tend to be of lower capacity and are usually
designed for both normally closed and normally open applications. Devices switching more
than 15 amperes or in circuits rated more than a few kilowatts are usually called contactors.
Apart from optional auxiliary low current contacts, contactors are almost exclusively fitted
with normally open contacts. Unlike relays, contactors are designed with features to control
and suppress the arc produced when interrupting heavy motor currents.

4.7 TRANSISTOR
FIG 2.6.1 TRANSISTOR
A transistor is a semiconductor device used to amplify and switch electronic signals.
It is made of a solid piece of semiconductor material, with at least three terminals for
connection to an external circuit.
A voltage or current applied to one pair of the transistor's terminals changes the
current flowing through another pair of terminals. Because the controlled (output) power can
be much more than the controlling (input) power, the transistor provides amplification of a
signal. Today, some transistors are packaged individually, but many more are found
embedded in integrated circuits.
The transistor is the fundamental building block of modern electronic devices, and its
presence is ubiquitous in modern electronic systems. Following its release in the early 1950s
the transistor revolutionised the field of electronics, and paved the way for smaller and
cheaper radios, calculators, and computers, amongst other things.
Anil Maurya
Electrical & Electronics Engineer 25
The NPN is one of the two types of bipolar transistors, in which the letters "N" and
"P" refer to the majority charge carriers inside the different regions of the transistor. Most
bipolar transistors used today are NPN, because electron mobility is higher than hole mobility
in semiconductors, allowing greater currents and faster operation.
NPN transistors consist of a layer of P-doped semiconductor (the "base") between two
N-doped layers. A small current entering the base in common-emitter mode is amplified in
the collector output. In other terms, an NPN transistor is "on" when its base is pulled high
relative to the emitter.
The arrow in the NPN transistor symbol is on the emitter leg and points in the
direction of the conventional current flow when the device is in forward active mode. One
mnemonic device for identifying the symbol for the NPN transistor is "not pointing in"[5] or
"never points in".
The other type of BJT is the PNP with the letters "P" and "N" referring to the majority
charge carriers inside the different regions of the transistor.

Electrical & Electronics Engineer 26
4.8 CAPACITORS
A capacitor (formerly known as condenser) is a passive electronic component
consisting of a pair of conductors separated by a dielectric (insulator). When a potential
difference (voltage) exists across the conductors, an electric field is present in the dielectric.
This field stores energy and produces a mechanical force between the conductors. The effect
is greatest when there is a narrow separation between large areas of conductor; hence
capacitor conductors are often called plates.
An ideal capacitor is characterized by a single constant value, capacitance, which is
measured in farads. This is the ratio of the electric charge on each conductor to the potential
difference between them. In practice, the dielectric between the plates passes a small amount
of leakage current. The conductors and leads introduce an equivalent series resistance and the
dielectric has an electric field strength limit resulting in a breakdown voltage.
Anil Maurya
Electrical & Electronics Engineer 27
CAPACITOR
Capacitors store electric charge. They are used with resistors in timing circuits
because it takes time for a capacitor to fill with charge. They are used to smooth varying DC
supplies by acting as a reservoir of charge. They are also used in filter circuits because
capacitors easily pass AC (changing) signals but they block DC (constant) signals.
Electrolytic Capacitors:
Electrolytic capacitors are polarised and they must be connected the correct way
round, at least one of their leads will be marked + or -. They are not damaged by heat when
soldering. There are two designs of electrolytic capacitors; axial where the leads are attached
to each end (220µF in picture) and radial where both leads are at the same end (10µF in

it usually has a limited current-handling capability. Potentiometers are always connected as
voltage dividers.
4.10 TRANSFORMER
A transformer is a device that transfers electrical energy from one circuit to another through
inductively coupled conductors—the transformer's coils. A varying current in the first or
primary winding creates a varying magnetic flux in the transformer's core, and thus a varying
magnetic field through the secondary winding. This varying magnetic field induces a varying
electromotive force (EMF) or "voltage" in the secondary winding. This effect is called mutual
induction.
If a load is connected to the secondary, an electric current will flow in the secondary
winding and electrical energy will be transferred from the primary circuit through the
transformer to the load. In an ideal transformer, the induced voltage in the secondary winding
(VS) is in proportion to the primary voltage (VP), and is given by the ratio of the number of
turns in the secondary (NS) to the number of turns in the primary (NP) as follows:

CHAPTER 5
OPTOCOUPLER IC
Working principle Optocoupler IC:-
Optocoupler is a component that serves to regulate the feedback that goes into STR /
Transistor / IC power on the power supply. Optocoupler is typically used on TV not too long
ago produced. Optocoupler is also instrumental in the start-up TV, and also serves as a
stabilizer output voltage switching power supply.
Optocoupler is a device that consists of two parts: transmitter and receiver, which is between
the light with the light source detection separately. Optocoupler is usually used as an
electrical switch, which works automatically. Optocoupler is a component connector
(coupling), which works based on optical light trigger. Optocoupler consists of two parts: At
the transmitter is built from an infrared LED. When compared to using regular LED, infrared
LED has better resistance to the signal appears. Light emitted by the LED infrared invisible
to the naked eye. At the receiver is built with the basic components of Photodiode.
Anil Maurya
Electrical & Electronics Engineer 33
Photodiode is a power transistor that is sensitive to light. A light source produces heat energy,
as well as the infrared spectrum. Because it has the effect of thermal infra spectrum greater
than visible light, then Photodiode more susceptible to capture radiation of infrared rays.
Judging from its use, the physical form of the optocoupler can vary. When only be used to
isolate the voltage levels or data on the transmitter and receiver side, the optocoupler is
usually made in solid form (no space between the LED and Photodiode). So that the electrical
signal at the input and output there will be isolated. In other words optocoupler is used as an
optoisolator IC type. The working principle of the optocoupler is: If between Photodiode and
LED Photodiode blocked it off so it will be output from the collector logic high. Conversely,
if the Photodiode and LED are not blocked so that its output will be logic low.

In three phase supply, first R phase with neutral is connected to primary winding of
the step-down transformer X1. This step-down transformer X1 reduces the 240V AC to 12V
AC. We get 12V AC at secondary winding of step-down transformer X1. An isolation
rectifier circuit is connected to the secondary winding of step-down transformer X1.
This rectifier circuit rectifies the 12V AC to 12V DC. A LED is connected to rectifier
circuit in series with resistor to indicate the presents of R phase. And a freewheeling diode is
connected to rectifier circuit. The output of this circuit is connected to coil of 12V operational
relay RL1. The NO of operational relay RL1 is connected to Y phase. The pole of operational
relay RL1 is connected to primary winding of step-down transformer X2.
This step-down transformer X2 reduces the 240V AC to 12V AC. We get 12V AC at
secondary winding of step-down transformer X2. An isolation rectifier circuit is connected to
the secondary winding of step-down transformer X2.
This rectifier circuit rectifies the 12V AC to 12V DC. A LED is connected to rectifier
circuit in series with resistor to indicate the presents of Y phase. And a freewheeling diode is
connected to rectifier circuit.
The output of this circuit is connected to coil side of 12V operational relay RL2. The
NO of operational relay RL2 is connected to B phase. The pole of operational relay RL2 is
connected to primary winding of step-down transformer X3.
This step-down transformer X3 reduces the 240V AC to 12V AC. We get 12V AC at
secondary winding of step-down transformer X3. An isolation rectifier circuit is connected to
the secondary winding of step-down transformer X3.
This rectifier circuit rectifies the 12V AC to 12V DC. A LED is connected to rectifier

For this rectifier circuit 555 timers is connected to produce the certain time delay in
order to avoid surges and momentary fluctuations. Variable resistor is used to 555 timer to set
the time delay. In 555 timers at pin 3 we get the output.
This output is connected to the transistor base. Transistor emitter is connected to the
ground and collector is connected to the anode of freewheeling diode. Across the

Electrical & Electronics Engineer 36
freewheeling diode operational relay RL3 is connected. The NO of operational relay RL3 is
connected to B phase. The pole of operational relay RL3 is connected to coil of 4 pole
contactor RL4.
For input side of 4 pole contactor RL4, three phase supply is connected. And for
output side, load is connected. This contactor RL4 acts as switch depending up on the
presents of all the 3 phases.
As we give three phase supply to the circuit:
R phase passes through the step-down transformer X1. This step-down transformer reduces
the voltage to 12V AC. Rectifier circuit rectifies the 12V AC to 12V DC. As the output
appear at rectifier circuit 1 then LED glows. Rectifier circuit 1 gives the 12V DC to coil of
relay RL1. When coil of relay RL1 gets triggered its pole connects to the NO. Then phase Y
given to pole of relay RL1 passes to transformer X2 through NO.
Then Y phase passes from the step-down transformer X2. This step-down transformer
reduces the voltage to 12V AC. Rectifier circuit rectifies the 12V AC to 12V DC. As the
output appear at rectifier circuit 2 then LED glows. Rectifier circuit 2 gives the 12V DC to
coil of relay RL2. When coil of relay RL2 gets triggered its pole connects to the NO. Then
phase B given to pole of relay RL2 passes to transformer X3 through NO.
Then B phase passes through the step-down transformer X3. This step-down transformer
reduces the voltage to 12V AC. Rectifier circuit rectifies the 12V AC to 12V DC. As the
output appear at rectifier circuit 3 then LED glows. Rectifier circuit 3 gives the 12V DC to
555 timer.
This 555 timer produces the delay to produce the output at pin 3 in order to avoid surges and
momentary fluctuations. The time delay can be adjusted by the variable resistor connected at
pin 6.
The output at pin3 is given to the base of transistor. Then this output is given to coil of relay
RL3 through collector of transistor. When coil of relay RL3 gets triggered its pole connects to
the NO. Then phase B given to pole of relay 3 passes to coil of 4pole contactor RL4 through
NO.When coil of contactor gets triggered it connects the three-phase supply to the load.

When any one or two phase gets failure in three phase supply then this circuit fails in above
operation. As the circuit fails in operation 4-Pole contactor RL4 automatically disconnects
the three-phase supply to load.
CONCLUSION
Anil Maurya
Electrical & Electronics Engineer 38
The test system considered in the project is worked out for the best protection for the
3- phase appliance in absence of any of the phase. The main objective of this prospective
protector is to maintain the efficiency of the appliance which we use with the 3- phase
supply.
The 4-pole contactor locking assures the presence of all the 3-phases. Remaining three relays
placed for all the three phases show there working with a hissing sound and glowing LED’S.
Due to any erratic action taking place there will be absence of any o the phase results in the
un-locking of the 4- pole contactor with an rapid fast off sound.
The 555 timer which we used in the destination tip of the circuit provides the time delay for
each phase which would be around 4sec as the timer working in astable mode.
For review time delay from the 555 timer we need to connect an variable resistor due to that
time delay can subjected and maximum is upto 4 sec.
A transistor is placed in need of a switch which is used for getting the output in the third
phase.
Using this protector scheme would be useful to protector the appliance and at the same time
it would reduce the frequent money lending in fault occurrence or failure of the appliance.
