A Concept of Microprocessor-Based Electrical Load Control System with Extended Functionality

Abstract

To increase energy safety when working with electrical devices (electronic equipment), a number of devices are used, such as a circuit breaker, RCCB circuit breaker, fuse links, relays and others. All of those components are designed to protect devices or people, who work with them, but access to them is often limited, in addition, the restriction is imposed also because the user must have certain qualifications. In addition, most of the elements are located in the electrical distribution box. The proposed concept of the control system is a compact solution, and allows to measure all the necessary parameters of energy consumption, analyze this parameters and make decisions, as well as, in fact, control the power of devices remotely using modern technologies, such as IoT, which expands the functions of a standard energy security system. The system itself can be located directly at the target consumer in the form of a surge protector or Watt-meter.
