any of our costly appliances
require three-phase AC sup-
ply for operation. Failure
of any of the phases makes the appli-
ance prone to erratic functioning and
may even lead to failure. Hence it is
of paramount importance to moni-
tor the availability of the three-phase
supply and switch off the appliance
in the event of failure of one or two
phases. The power to the appliance
should resume with the availability of
all phases of the supply with certain
time delay in order to avoid surges and
momentary fuctuations.
The complete circuit of a three-
phase appliance protector is described
here. It requires three-phase supply,
three 12V relays and a timer IC NE555
along with 230V coil contactor having
four poles.
Relays RL1 and RL2 act as a
sensing devices for phases Y and
B, respectively. These relays are
connected such that each acts as an
enabling device for the subsequent
relay. Therefore the combination of
the relays forms a logical AND gate
connected serially.
The availability of phase R en-
ergises relay RL1 and its normally-
opened (N/O) contacts close to
connect phase Y to the input of
transformer X2. The availability of
phase Y energises relay RL2 and its
N/O contacts close to connect phase
B to the input of transformer X3, thus
applying a triggering input to timer
IC NE555 (IC1).
Therefore the delay timer built
around NE555 triggers only when
all the phases (R, Y and B) are avail-
able. It provides a delay of approxi-
mately four seconds, which energises
relay RL3 and its N/O contact closes
to connect the line to the energising
coil of four-pole contactor relay RL4.
Contactor RL4 closes to ensure the
availability of the three-phase sup-
ply to the appliance.
The rating of contactor RL4 can be
selected according to the full-load cur-
rent rating of the appliances. Here the
contact current rating of the four-pole
contactor is up to 32A. The availability
of phases R, Y and B is monitored by
appropriate LEDs connected across
the secondary windings of transform-
ers X1, X2 and X3, respectively. Hence
this circuit does not require a separate

indicator lamp for monitoring the
availability of the three phases. When
phase R is available, LED1 glows.
When phase Y is available, LED2
glows. When phase B is available,
LED3 glows.
The main advantage of this protec-
tor circuit is that it protects three-phase
appliances from failure of any of the
mounted on the backside of cabinet.
Connect the appliance through exter-
nal wires.
Caution. To avoid the risk of elec-
tric shock, ensure that AC mains is
disconnected during assembly of the
circuit and double check everything
before connecting your circuit to the
mains.
phases by disconnecting the power
supply through the contactor and
automatically restores the three-phase
supply to the appliance (with reason-
able time delay) when all the phases
are available.
Assemble the circuit on a gen-
eral-purpose PCB and enclose in a
cabinet with the relays and contactor
