Abstract
Power protection devices are deployed to protect assets while also providing a steady supply of electricity. The importance of a power protection unit is that it maintains the security of electrical consumers connected to the electrical supply grid by interrupting the power supply in the case of a variety of problems, including overvoltage, overcurrent, leakage current, and electrical arc. Power protection systems with Arduino uno board leads to attain decreased efficiency, increased cost of internal connectivity and poor network reliability. IoT based power protection devices can overcome these difficulties in a better way. This research provides a power-system protection device that can be integrated into smart environments and is based on Internet-of-Things technology. The proposed system improves safety by rapidly disabling the power supply in the event of a disaster such as a leakage current, an electrical arc, a power surge, or an overcharge, and it is designed to be incorporated into intelligent devices such as smart buildings or green infrastructure to protect electrical equipment.
