Smart Distribution Board with Microcontroller-based Safety Device

Abstract

The Smart Safety Device for Distribution Boards is an innovative IoT-based solution to enhance electrical safety and efficiency in residential and commercial settings. An inventive Internet of Things (IoT) solution to improve electrical safety and efficiency in home and business settings is the Smart Safety Device for Distribution Boards. This system offers real-time insights and proactive management of electrical systems by integrating problem detection, remote control, and sensor-based monitoring. One of this device's primary functions is sensor-based monitoring, which makes use of voltage and current sensors to continually monitor electrical factors like temperature, voltage levels, and current consumption. Furthermore, sophisticated algorithms examine sensor data to identify possible problems including overcurrent, ground faults, and temperature anomalies. These defects are then instantly alerted to users through visual and auditory cues. Moreover, the system allows for remote access via a mobile application and real-time monitoring of energy usage, which is shown on an LCD screen and helps users optimize energy use. To protect electrical components and maintain safety, the system automatically shuts down in case of serious defects or when energy usage is above predetermined levels. Additionally, by integrating the gadget with the Blynk platform, customers can use a smartphone or tablet to operate electrical devices, receive notifications, and remotely monitor sensor data. All things considered, the distribution boards' Smart Safety Device offers a complete solution to improve electrical safety, maximize energy economy, and facilitate remote control of electrical systems. It gives consumers more access and control over their electrical infrastructure by utilizing IoT technologies, thereby improving safety, dependability, and affordability.
