Title: IoT-Based Smart Circuit Breaker for Real-Time Monitoring and Control

Abstract:

This project aims to design and develop an IoT-based smart circuit breaker that enables real-time monitoring and control of electrical circuits. The system uses a microcontroller-based circuit breaker with Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing users to monitor and control the circuit breaker remotely using a mobile app. The system also includes features such as automatic fault detection, alarm notification, and remote reset.

Introduction:

Circuit breakers are an essential component of electrical systems, used to protect against electrical faults and prevent damage to equipment and property. Traditional circuit breakers rely on mechanical switches and do not provide real-time monitoring or control capabilities. The proposed IoT-based smart circuit breaker addresses this limitation by integrating Wi-Fi connectivity and a microcontroller-based system, enabling remote monitoring and control.

System Components:

  1. Microcontroller: The system uses an Arduino-based microcontroller (ATmega328P) to control the circuit breaker and communicate with the Wi-Fi module.
  2. Wi-Fi Module: The system uses a Wi-Fi module (ESP8266) to establish a connection to the internet and enable remote communication.
  3. Circuit Breaker: The system uses a standard circuit breaker (MCB) to interrupt the electrical circuit in case of a fault.
  4. Sensors: The system uses sensors (temperature, current, and voltage) to monitor the electrical circuit and detect faults.
  5. Power Supply: The system uses a power supply (12V DC) to power the microcontroller, Wi-Fi module, and sensors.

System Operation:

  1. Power-On: When the system is powered on, the microcontroller initializes and establishes a connection to the Wi-Fi network.
  2. Monitoring: The system continuously monitors the electrical circuit using sensors and detects any faults or anomalies.
  3. Fault Detection: If a fault is detected, the system sends an alert to the user's mobile app and triggers the circuit breaker to interrupt the electrical circuit.
  4. Remote Control: Users can remotely control the circuit breaker using the mobile app, allowing them to reset the circuit breaker or turn it off.
  5. Alarm Notification: The system sends an alarm notification to the user's mobile app in case of a fault or anomaly.

Mobile App:

The mobile app is designed to provide users with real-time monitoring and control capabilities. The app includes the following features:

  1. Real-Time Monitoring: Users can view real-time data on the electrical circuit, including voltage, current, and temperature.
  2. Fault Detection: Users receive alerts and notifications in case of a fault or anomaly.
  3. Remote Control: Users can remotely control the circuit breaker, including resetting or turning it off.
  4. Settings: Users can configure system settings, such as alarm thresholds and notification preferences.

Implementation:

The system was implemented using the following steps:

  1. Hardware Design: The system was designed and prototyped using a breadboard and jumper wires.
  2. Software Development: The microcontroller was programmed using the Arduino IDE, and the Wi-Fi module was configured using the ESP8266 library.
  3. Mobile App Development: The mobile app was developed using the Android Studio IDE and the Firebase Realtime Database.

Results:

The system was tested and evaluated using the following metrics:

  1. Accuracy: The system accurately detected faults and anomalies in the electrical circuit.
  2. Reliability: The system was reliable and did not experience any downtime or errors during testing.
  3. User Experience: Users reported a positive experience using the mobile app, with easy navigation and clear notifications.

Conclusion:

The proposed IoT-based smart circuit breaker provides a reliable and efficient solution for real-time monitoring and control of electrical circuits. The system's ability to detect faults and anomalies, send alarm notifications, and provide remote control capabilities makes it an attractive solution for industrial and commercial applications.

Future Work:

Future work includes:

  1. Improving Fault Detection: Developing more advanced fault detection algorithms to improve the system's accuracy.
