Abstract— Electrical accidents are common due to ignorance and carelessness. By acknowledging them in initial stages and performing maintenance it is possible to minimize risk of severe accidents. Electrical accidents pose significant risks, leading to severe injuries and fatalities in various sectors, including residential, industrial, and commercial environments. This project aims to design an advanced safeguarding device to minimize the fatality rate due to electrical accidents. The device integrates real-time monitoring, fault detection, and automatic response mechanisms to prevent hazardous situations such as electric shocks, short circuits, and overcurrent faults. The proposed system utilizes microcontroller-based technology with sensors to detect leakage current, voltage fluctuations, and abnormal power conditions. It features an automatic shutdown mechanism that disconnects the power supply when unsafe conditions are detected, thereby preventing electrocution and fire hazards. Additionally, the device is equipped with an alert system that notifies users through alarms or mobile notifications for immediate action. By implementing this safeguarding device, electrical safety in households, workplaces, and industries can be significantly improved, reducing the number of accidents and fatalities. The design will be cost-effective, easy to install, and compatible with existing electrical systems, making it a practical solution for enhancing electrical safety.
