Abstract

Under and over voltage is one of the voltage abnormalities which give crucial power quality. It can happen at any stage of power system either in generation, transmission or distribution. Focusing to domestic area, these irregularities can harm the user as well as damage the domestic or home appliances. Whenever under and over voltage happens, main switch in the distribution board will turns off due to high current produced by the main power supply. It will disrupt the operations of domestic appliances as well as activities involving supply voltage. User needs to turn on the main switch manually. It is dangerous to the user since they do not know the condition of the main power supply. This research is done purposely to add safety to the user since it turns on and off main power supply automatically through the control done by the microcontroller. This research is done through simulation of the circuit using Proteus and MicroC software. Next, the hardware is constructed for the execution of the circuit. Knowledge of electronic circuit, electric circuit as well as programming is used in this research. Apart from that, knowledge of troubleshooting and safety must be considered as important knowledge needed through the research process.
