Abstract

PC-based for power failure monitoring is a system created to monitor the parameters of voltage, current, and wattage on the screen of PC. The measured data can be stored in the memory of the PC to allow subsequent downloading and analysis. Hence, the data can be analyzed by other software to detect and predict fault conditions. Besides, the system also can detect the faulty power point during the power trip occurred. The unstable voltage of main power supply and power trip are the phenomenon which mostly happen in the laboratory, and it not only subsequently causing the damage to sensitive equipments, but also affect learning process of students during carry out the experiment. The objectives of this system are to record the measured voltage level for analysis and provides auto detection for the faulty power point during power trip. In order to achieve the project objectives, Lab VIEW have been used to create a front panel of virtual instrument. Therefore, the parameters of voltage, current, power, and indicator for faulty power point can be display on the screen of PC for monitoring purpose, and all power points also can be controlled through the front panel. Apart from that, data acquisition module is used for real time monitoring and it provides the interfacing between hardware and software, and then converts the physical value to the readable data by front panel. For future application, this system would be applied to laboratory and it will benefit to students as well as upgrade the learning quality of university.
