Introduction:
 The main aim of this project is to control the power
supply from control unit.
 Whenever the current rating is under the threshold
range, the power supply will remain continue.
 But if current rating exceeded we can cut the power
supply from control unit.
Purpose:
 The Purpose of this project is to design a remote
power On/Off control and a current measurement
for electric outlets, based on Zigbee
communication.
 Here we are going to monitor the current rating
continuously and depending on that rating we take
action from the control unit.
Power Supply:
Transmitter Unit:
Control unit:
Description:
• In this project we have two units, transmitter and
control units. In transmitter section we had current
measuring circuit, MCU, LCD, Load and zigbee
module.
• Here we are measuring current and sending this
rating to control unit by using Zigbee transceiver.
• On the control we are having MCU, Zigbee
transceiver, LCD and Key. We are receiving the
current rating from transmitter to control unit.
 If current rating is under the limit then the power
supply will remain continued, otherwise we can cut
the power supply by pressing a control key from
control unit.
 Like this we can avoid the over current condition at
our home/office
Technology Used:
• Now a day's every system is automated in order to
face new challenges.
• In the present days in the field of high preference

is given to Automated systems have less manual

operations, flexibility, reliability and accurate.
. And this is realised by Zigbee technology which is
new wireless technology guided by IEEE 802.15.4
Personal Area Network standard.
• It is primarily designed for the wide ranging
controlling applications and to replace the existing
non-standard technologies.
• It currently operates in 868MHz band at a data rate
of 20Kbps in Europe, 914MHz band at 40kbps in
USA, and the 2.4GHz ISM bands Worldwide at a
maximum data-rate of 250kbps.
Hardware Used:
 Current measuring Circuit
 Microcontroller(ARM-7)
 Zigbee Module
 Relay
 Load
 LCD
Software Required:
 Embedded C
 Keil IDE
 ISP
 Express PCB
Conclusion:
 Hence by this we can control the over current
condition of power supply in Home/Industries in
order to give Protection for home/Industries
devices.
