3-Phase Current Monitoring and Solid State Relay Switching

The successful implementations of the xFarm Pill system has paved way on gathering usable data for 35 days from in-situ sensors for water quality. The developments has created a way to move to phase 2 of the implementation to make use of the data gathered from sensors to control switches that will turn 3-phase induction motors on and off. These induction 3-phase motors are used for multiple applications from auto-feeder to water pump to promote dissolved oxygen replenishment.

The 3-Phase current monitoring system integrates to the current xFarm LoraGateway and presents the power consumption on a dashboard. The system also alerts if there is an out of phase scenario where only one or two of the wires has power on it.

The 3-Phase Solid State Relay (SSR) is used to automatically switch motors that promotes dissolved oxygen on or off. The data used for the SSR to determine if its needed to be powered off or on is coming from the xFarm Pill system where dissolved oxygen is measured.
