Abstract

The existence of high armature current is the main limitation while starting a DC series motor. This initial current can have dangerous effects on the DC motor such as damage of windings and reduction in the lifetime of the machine. There are two basic methods of starting of DC motor namely the resistor starting method and the soft start using solid-state devices. In this project, to lessen the inrush current, the solid-state method was adopted to start the motor smoothly. The system uses Arduino Atmega328p-PU Microcontroller to send pulses to the motor driver which regulates the running of the motor. By focusing on DC series motor, power electronic converters and microcontrollers, the system was modeled and simulated in Proteus ISIS Software. The results recorded from the soft starter system were compared with a direct online starting system considering the starting current and voltage of the motor with an open loop control system. The soft starter system was able to decrease the direct online current value from 0.996 A to 0.449 A which represents approximately 28.1% reduction of the starting current to protect the motor.
