1. Question text: |
||||
|
Design a system using a conductive water sensor (basically two metal probes that are very close together - when water is present between the probes it conducts) to detect when water level in a tank falls below 20% and when that happens, turn on a pump. The pump is a 3-phase 3-wire 1kW rated. This is for an industrial application where the water is being used for a chemical process. Design the system with some fail-safe such that the tank should never become empty. |

2. Design summary: |
||||
|
Good approach. For reliability it is ok to say good quality components but beyond that how doyou ensure fail safe? |
||||
|
e.g. one way is to have redundancy - multiple sensors; bakckup alerts, etc. |
||||
|
for example, what if the relay fails? Or the motor is powered but the pump is blocked etc? |
||||
|
You need to close the loop from the circuit instructing the motor to be on but pump not working somehow. |
||||
|
What about over-rides? What if your box fails - is it possible to manually enable/disable the motor if needed? |
||||

3. Block diagram |
||||
|
your block diagram is a muddle of electrical, signal and mechanical items. Think a little about how to make a readable and clear diagram |
||||
|
|
||||
|
4. Power supply design |
||||
|
Looks like your voltage level diagrams have some mistake. when tank is 100% full, all ABC lines should be ~12V. |
||||
|
Why are you realising gates through transistors? Can't you just use 74LSxx series chips? |
||||
|

||||
|
5. Industrial Design: |
||||
|
Could have been more detailed - with mechanical details, specific material etc.s |
