Password Based Circuit Breaker Using PIC Microcontroller

This document describes a password-based circuit breaker system that uses a PIC microcontroller to control electrical lines for line worker safety. It allows line workers to turn power on or off to a line by entering the correct password, with separate passwords assigned for each line. The system compares the entered password to a predefined password, and if they match, it will turn the corresponding electrical line on or off, as indicated by light bulbs. Its applications include use in electrical substations, buildings, houses, hotels, and shopping malls.

Password Based Circuit Breaker Using

PIC Microcontroller

Password Based Circuit Breaker is a simple project that helps in controlling the electrical lines with the
help of a password.

Nowadays, electrical accidents to the line man are increasing, while repairing the electrical lines due to
the lack of communication between the electrical substation and maintenance staff. This project gives a
solution to this problem to ensure line man safety. In this proposed system, the control (ON/OFF) of the
electrical lines lies with line man. This project is arranged in such a way that maintenance staff or line
man has to enter the password to ON/OFF the electrical line.

Now, if there is any fault in electrical line, then the line man will switch off the power supply to the line by
entering password and comfortably repair the electrical line, and after coming to the substation line man
switch on the supply to the particular line by entering the password. Separate passwords are assigned for
each electrical lines.

Before going to know about this circuit, also read the interesting post: Password based door locking
system.

Principle of Operation
The main component in the circuit is 8051 microcontroller. In this project 4×4 keypad is used to enter the
password. The password which is entered is compared with the predefined password. If entered
password is correct, then the corresponding electrical line is turned ON or OFF. In this project, a separate
password is provided to each electrical line. Activation and deactivation of the line (circuit breaker) is
indicated by the load (Light Bulbs).

Applications

 Used in electrical substations to ensure line man safety


 This system is used in buildings and houses
 Used in hotels and shopping malls to save the power.
 Can also be used as Password based electrical appliance control or Password based Load Control
system.
