Abstract

Fault is an imperfection that occurs on electrical lines that can lead to failure in an electrical wiring system such as fire burning and a fatal effect to the human body. A conventional method will use electrical workers to detect the fault occurs. This method is wasted time and most dangerous part due to require electrical workers to check the location of the fault. However, to overcome these problems, automated electrical fault detection is designed and developed. The prototype is developed by using Arduino MEGA2560 as the main controller interfaced to control both the process of input and output. A power supply, current sensor, voltage sensor, potentiometer, voltage regulator, and LCD are installed into the circuit to analyze the system performance in terms of the detection effectiveness and location of electrical faults in domestic wiring systems. The faults that have been occurs will be displayed on the LCD screen and GSM module used to transmit an alert message to a person in charge. At the end of the project, the developed prototype is successfully able to send alert messages to electrical workers and the fault can be detected. Subsequently, time and manpower can be saved and the fault can be detected more efficiently.
