Induction motors are widely used in both industrial and domestic applications due to their simplicity, efficiency, and reliability. Speed control in these motors is straightforward, as it depends on voltage, the number of poles, and frequency. Since the number of poles is fixed within the motor, speed regulation is typically achieved using a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD), which provides a simple and energy-efficient solution.

These motors are commonly employed in open-loop control systems because of their low cost, minimal maintenance, ease of manufacturing, and high efficiency. Previously, conventional speed control methods were used for DC motors. However, DC motors contain commutators and brushes, which require frequent maintenance and pose safety risks.

With the advancement of technology, IoT-based systems have been introduced to monitor and control induction motor parameters such as temperature, speed, current, and voltage. An Android application, using mobile Wi-Fi, connects to the motor’s control circuit network, enabling remote monitoring for improved reliability and operational efficiency.

The system allows data control from any location via Wi-Fi. A Bluetooth modem is interfaced with the ESP32 microcontroller, and the Wi-Fi module transmits signals to the microcontroller. This setup enables precise control of motor speed, allowing it to be maintained as per the desired values.
