Abstract

The development of Energy Meter using Arduino is to study and measure the usage of electricity on household applications. Moreover giving user a clear view of the consumption whenever they wish to view and could help users to save electricity or plan their budget based on the usage. This system applies current sensing technique without the need to cut the wire open and brings no harm to users. This project is a combination of electronic and software. For the electronic part, an Arduino Uno board and clamping current sensor are used, while for the software part Arduino IDE were used. The clamping current sensor is used to measure current by clamping it to live wire to measure the flowing current and sends the analogue signals to Arduino Uno. The processor will process the signal and changes it into a signal where could be readable for us using LCD I2C. The processor does some algorithm which the tariff calculation and kWh calculation based on TNB datasheet. At the end the electronic parts were assembled in a moulded plastic container and could measure current and gives users a clear picture of their usage.
