Induction motors are highly reliable, rugged, and efficient machines for several industrial applications. The system is cheap and easy to repair and maintain because the parts and components used in the design are available locally. The system is a boost to Nigerian industrialists as it will reduce cases of burning of induction motors and the consequent downtime and cost. It was found to be efficient, reliable, durable, and rugged.

The induction motor protection and control system was designed, developed, and constructed to reduce the problem of burnt winding by early detection and disconnection of supply if the problem persists. The initial symptoms observed before the burning of the windings were an increase in operating current and a temperature rise.

Frequent burning of three-phase induction motors windings has been reported.
