IOT-Driven Feeder Overload Control Systems

In modern power systems, ensuring electrical safety and efficient energy management is of utmost importance. This project presents a smart monitoring and protection system that detects both overload conditions in residential circuits and earth faults in feeder lines. The system utilizes current sensors to continuously monitor power consumption and feeder line integrity. Sensor data is sent to a micro-controller, which analyzes the current levels in real-time. If the household current exceeds a predefined threshold, indicating an overload, the micro-controller activates relay to trip the supply of power and activates a buzzer for alerting the user. The overload status is also displayed on an LCD screen. Simultaneously, the system monitors feeder lines for earth faults.when abnormal current readings are noted, the incident is recognized as an earth fault and immediately uploaded to a web server using IOT communication. This enables remote fault monitoring and quick response by utility authorities. The proposed system enhances safety, ensures timely alerts, and supports smart grid applications through automation and IOT integration.
