Reconfigurable Fault Current Detection System Using IoT

Abstract

This research study intends to develop a novel method for identifying over-current or fault-current concerns in appliances and electronics used in the home or industry, such as battery and chargers is discussed. The system monitors electrical circuits in real-time, detects faults, and alerts appropriate parties through sound alarms and email notifications. The system may be configured according to individual defect detection needs. The NIOS II (Altera DE2 EDK) processor controls the numerous components and processes and analyzes data. To properly monitor electrical characteristics, voltage, and current sensors are added into the system. The NIOS II processor continually monitors observed data and compares them to specified threshold levels. An alarm sounds if voltage or current exceeds the thresholds, communicating an issue or abnormal situation. Through IoT server connectivity, the system sends email notifications in addition to the sound alert. An email notice is sent to a predetermined email address when a fault condition is detected, providing remote monitoring and quick information about the fault occurrence. The system's benefits include reconfigurability, monitoring in real-time, alarm alerting, remote email notification, safety, and customization.
