Remote Control, Protection and Monitoring of Pump for Agricultural Purposes

With the increasing pressure on our natural resources and diminishing soil quality, there is a need to make better efforts to conserve them. This project aims to help control the irrigation in a small field. The motor pump set equipped at the field is prone to a variety of operational issues like Power Quality issues, Reverse run of the pump, Irregular Power Supply. Using an ATMEGA Microcontroller equipped with GSM Module for connectivity, this model is able to provide the user with remote control for the motor pump set equipped at his field. Additionally, this model comes with protection schemes for detection of Input Phase Sequence Supply and protection against Over Voltage and Over Current. This system aims to reduce the man power requirement in the field by providing remote or at home control of the pump set applied on the field with cost effective and easy control which can be used by unskilled operators as well.
