Abstract

Current consumption is one of the foremost imperative problem in recent years and one of the factors causing it is consuming more energy. Nowadays, the statistics show current consumption that uses the most come from the domestic sector such as household, schools, construction and industrial areas. The goal of completing this project is to construct basic electricity current remote monitoring system. With this system, an operator no longer needs to be at the site to monitor the clamp meter display at all time to observe the real-time current of their devices. The prototype integrates conventional clamp meter with an additional feature that will change the clamp meter from a conventional one into a smart clamp meter. This innovation has a data logging function and can be monitored online. The measured data from the clamp meter will be sent to a data log device and can be monitored remotely. This initiative makes user to be more conscious of current consumption. It also helps to monitor electricity current usage daily and make effective use of the current. This prototype has been tested to read currents for different type of loads at home. The results show that the currents were able to be correctly measured and displayed on a smartphone via Blynk apps in real-time. For improvement, the system could be redesigned to display current trends for a period in the apps interface.
