Abstract

In particular when the system has a number of control points and switches, the traditional electrical control requires extensive wiring. This may lead to expensive wiring and maintenance costs. Powerline Communication (PLC) technology can solve this issue by controlling numerous points with just two wires which is the live and neutral wires, in which all points and switches are attached onto the cables. To overcome these problems, an electrical control system is designed and developed using powerline as a medium of communication. The prototype is developed by using two Arduino Uno as the main controller with a pair of KQ-330F power line carrier module which will act as the transmitter and the receiver of the control system to establish connection through the powerline to allow powerline transmission. The PLC transmitter produces and modulates a high frequency signal into the power line. The PLC receiver receives the high-frequency signal and activates the electric point to provide electrical power. To verify its effectiveness, the designed device will be tested at home electrical system. As a result, maintenance costs may be reduced and helps reduce issues of extensive and complicated wiring whenever needed.
