Abstract : In agriculture, 3-phase motors are used to run water pumps for irrigation. Farmers usually have to go to the field every time to turn the pump ON or OFF, but electricity in rural areas is not available all the time, especially at night. This causes time loss, fuel wastage, and inconvenience. Also, if the motor runs during problems like single-phasing, low voltage, high voltage, dry running, or overheating, it can get damaged. This project provides a smart solution by allowing farmers to control the pump using their mobile phone from anywhere. The ESP32 microcontroller and BLYNK app are used to switch the pump ON/OFF remotely. A phase identification circuit checks if all three phases are available before starting the motor to prevent damage. The system sends real-time notifications to the user and protects the motor from electrical faults. This makes irrigation easier, safer, and more efficient while saving time and effort for farmers.

Keywords : Step Down Transformer, ESP32 Microcontroller, Cloud Server, Relay, DOL Starter.
