Microcontroller Based Circuit Protection and Control

The automated microcontroller-based circuit protection and control system is integrated with IoT element, which consisted of both hardware software components, and communication devices. The designed system is to acquire the electrical parameters such as current and voltage as well the power consumption using sensors. ThingSpeak is engaged, mainly used to acquire data from the microcontroller via wireless communication, to further analyse and visualize it in the required form and sends SMS notification to the user through Wi-Fi, such as over/under current, over/under voltage, & excessive power consumption, depending on the data analysis. Once user received notification, remedial action can be further taken to isolate faulted part from circuit, or to take desired action for safety purpose. The designed prototype is enhanced circuit protection (automated), incorporating data storage, monitor/control of electrical loads intelligently and offers user safety and security of the electrical operation.
