Development Of Smart Distribution Board With GSM

Abstract

This proposal present the proposed project for leaving home for a few days make us worried about what has been left in the house especially when lightning trip the electricity from some important electrical appliances such as fridge and aquarium. So, this paper present a project that is design for backup the electricity after earth fault (e.g. Lightning) by switching on another Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB) so that electricity will work as usual again. The switching can be done by using Short Messaging Service (SMS). The purpose of doing this is to avoid some important electrical appliances from being stop functioning and can be remotely control using mobile phone even outside of residential. Combination of Global System for Mobile communication (GSM) Modem with PIC16F877A microcontroller is used to perform messaging control of relay which will allow the current flow through the backup RCCB in the distribution board. The system will integrated with microcontroller and GSM network interface using C language. Proteus software will utilize to accomplish the integration. By using this system, it will save importing things that attach to the electrical appliances if the backup RCCB successfully being trigger.
