Water Level Controller

This document describes a water level controller project created by students. The controller uses equipment like isolator switches, magnetic contactors, transformers, indicator lamps, motors, and float switches to automatically fill a tank when the water level drops below a minimum level. It discusses how each component works and provides maintenance instructions to check components like the motor, contactor, and transformer that turn on and off frequently to refill the tank. The project aims to automatically maintain water levels and reduce wear on electrical and mechanical devices from frequent starting and stopping.

Isolator
Isolator is a mechanical switch
which isolates a part of circuit
from system as when required.
Electrical isolators separate a part
of the system from rest of the
system for safe maintenance work

The SCENARIO OF WORKING OF


WATER LEVEL CONITROLLER

WE HAVE A TANK B IN THE ROOF AND RESERVOIR (TANK A) AT GROUND LEVEL AND A PUMP.
THERE IS A MANUAL ISOLATING SWITCH TO SWITCH ON AND SWITCH OFF. WE USED A LIMIT
SWITCH (FLOAT SWITCH) TO SET UP THE MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM LEVEL WITH THIS SYSTEM. WE
CAN FILL THE LIQUID OR WATER TO THE TANK AUTOMATICALLY. WE HAVE A TANK WITH 20
LITERS AND TAKING TIME1 MINUTE AND 7 SECONDS, AND IF WE ASSUME THAT THERE IS A TANK
IN WHICH 15-GALLON AND ONE GALLON EQUALS 3.78 LITERS, IF 15 GALLONS IS EQUAL TO 56.7
LITERS AND WILL TAKE THE MOTOR 3 MINUTES AND 3 SECONDS FOR THE TRANSFER OF 15
