This study discusses a method to protect utility devices and motors from GEB voltage fluctuations. This study also outlines how controlling the incoming voltage and utilizing devices can protect the motors used in the utility area of any industry. For this control and protection, we have used a protection relay along with the desired rating of the contactor and MCB. The equipment used in the utility can be a cooling tower, RO plant, air compressor, exhaust fan, dryer, heat exchanger, and chiller unit. After several issues in the utility due to voltage variation, several motors were burned while several devices attached to the system started malfunctioning. It became very critical to protect these devices as it directly affected the running production. The idea is to install a protection relay individually across every utility equipment so that all the equipment gets protected from voltage variation occurring at any time. This will in turn help us decrease the downtime of the utility equipment and increase the production as the time loss shall decrease.
