Abstract
Three-phase induction motors are widely utilized in industrial applications due to their high efficiency and reliability. This study aims to design and implement a real-time control and operational parameter monitoring system for a three-phase induction motor. The system integrates an Arduino Mega as the main data processor, a Variable Speed Drive (VSD) for speed control, and Solid State Relays (SSR) along with contactors as actuators. Monitoring of electrical and mechanical parameters is performed using ACS712 sensors (current), ZMPT101B sensors (voltage), and Hall Effect sensors (speed/RPM), with the results displayed on a LabVIEW interface. The system evaluation and validation method was carried out by comparing sensor readings against standard measuring instruments (digital multimeter and digital tachometer) across various operating frequency variations. The test results show that the system is capable of stable operation with an average sensor measurement error (mean error) of 0.35%. The novelty of this research lies in the integration of a responsive, cost-effective, multi-parameter control and monitoring platform equipped with automatic data logging within a single integrated HMI interface, which is ready to be applied for research as well as industrial automation laboratory practices.
Experimental validation demonstrates reliable phase detection, rapid relay response, and effective remote alerting, confirming the system's suitability for industrial automation, motor protection, and smart energy management applications.

This paper evaluates the use of active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) and a five-level neutral-point-clamped (NPC) inverter for a sensorless induction motor (IM) drive. The approach is based on a model reference adaptive system (MRAS) observer and a hybrid control technique, combining the advantages of vector control (VC) and direct torque control (DTC). ADRC is specifically engineered to handle disturbances common in system control and lessen their effects, while the MRAS observer provides precise speed estimation for sensorless operation. The system capitalizes on their collective advantages, tackling issues like stator current harmonic distortion and torque ripples, critical in dynamic systems. Also, the five-level NPC inverter helps reduce these problems, allowing the system to run with a nearly sinusoidal voltage, a plus for the electrical motors. The simulation results using MATLAB assess the effectiveness of the ADRC and MRAS observer for the sensorless speed control of the IM system through a hybrid VC-DTC technique and five-level NPC inverter. The results of the approach are compared with the obtained values and reference signals. Different operation modes of the induction motor have been discussed, such as speed variations, speed reversal, and brake application. This study suggests the experimental implementation and use of multilevel NPC inverters for high power quality, and ADRC control associated with MRAS and a hybrid VC-DTC approach for reference tracking and disturbance handling.

The DC motor is affected by hysteresis characteristics, resulting in large steady-state errors and poor positioning accuracy with open-loop control; therefore, open-loop control is not suitable. To verify the PID closed‑loop control logic in a cost‑effective way, this study uses the Tinkercad simulation environment to build a test circuit that includes an Arduino main controller, L293D driver chip, DC motor, and adjustable potentiometer. The potentiometer is connected to the A0 analog pin of the microcontroller to simulate angle sampling, without mechanical coupling between the device shafts. First, the Arduino program reads the potentiometer value on pin A0, maps the 0–1023 range to 0–180 degrees, and calculates the error relative to the 90-degree target angle. PID output is restricted within the 0–255 PWM range and regulates motor rotation direction through L293D pins. The potentiometer serves as simulated angular feedback, and the setup excludes direct mechanical drive from the motor shaft to the potentiometer. Simulation test results show that the system can automatically adjust the PWM output magnitude and motor direction based on real-time errors, the closed-loop control logic operates stably, and it can follow the target angle to complete position adjustment. The significance of this study lies in the use of virtual simulation to debug the control scheme in advance, reducing the cost of processing physical components, quickly verifying the practicality of PID, shortening prototype debugging cycles, and saving experimental materials. On the other hand, the low-cost design approach based on Arduino can lower the barrier to implementing motor closed-loop control systems, providing a reference solution for position control system design in small electromechanical devices and teaching experimental equipment, and has practical significance for popularizing embedded motor closed-loop control in engineering practice.

Automobile batteries require practical monitoring of voltage and current to support early identification of abnormal operating conditions. This study aimed to design and implement an Arduino Uno-based digital display system for monitoring a nominal 12 V automobile battery. The prototype integrates a resistor-divider voltage sensor, an ACS712-20A current sensor, an LM2596 DC-DC converter, a 16×2 I2C liquid-crystal display, and a buzzer. A Research and Development approach organized as an engineering design cycle was used, covering system design, prototype assembly, functional testing, and evaluation. Voltage readings were compared with a digital multimeter at five test points and produced a mean absolute percentage error of 0.38%. Current readings were examined under five charging and discharging conditions and produced a mean absolute percentage error of 3.61%; the largest relative deviation occurred at the lowest-magnitude discharge point. The buzzer remained off at 11.50 V and activated below 11.50 V, confirming the programmed comparator logic. The findings support the prototype as a simple continuous voltage-current and status monitoring device under the tested conditions. The study does not establish direct ampere-hour capacity or validated state-of-charge estimation; further validation with calibrated reference instruments, repeated measurements, multiple batteries, environmental variation, and dynamic automotive loads is required.

Single-phase induction motors experience high inrush current during the starting process, which can degrade power quality and accelerate electrical component deterioration. This research aims to design and evaluate an Arduino Nano–based soft starter system for a single-phase induction motor to limit the starting current. The proposed method employs stepwise series resistance control using relay modules driven by the Arduino Nano, while electrical parameters including voltage, current, and power are monitored in real time using a PZEM-004T sensor. Experimental tests were conducted by comparing the motor starting current before and after the implementation of the soft starter under several operating conditions. The results demonstrate that the proposed system is able to reduce the starting current by 15%–20% compared to direct-on-line operation, with stable and consistent current reduction characteristics. The analysis indicates that the current limitation effectively reduces electrical stress on the motor without adversely affecting the acceleration process. It can be concluded that the developed soft starter system successfully meets the research objectives and is suitable as a simple and cost-effective solution for controlling the starting current of single-phase induction motors.

Sensorless control of the Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) is a key technology for achieving high efficiency and reliable operation in Flywheel Energy Storage Systems (FESS). This review focuses on sensorless control techniques suitable for the wide speed range and high dynamic response of FESS, covering methods for zero/low-speed, medium/high-speed, and full-speed operation. First, the fundamentals of sensorless control for FESS motors (mainly PMSM) are analyzed, and the principles and advantages of high-frequency signal injection methods in the zero/low-speed range are compared, along with their limitations in standby and startup scenarios of the flywheel. Second, recent advances in model-based methods-such as sliding mode observers and model reference adaptive systems-for the medium/high-speed range are elaborated. By comparing the strengths and weaknesses of each method under charging, discharging, and standby conditions, targeted improvement strategies are summarized, and a full-speed sensorless control strategy tailored to the FESS PMSM is proposed. Finally, future trends are discussed in the context of practical FESS applications, including online parameter identification, fault-tolerant control, and the integration of intelligent algorithms.
