PASSWORD BASED

CIRCUIT BREAKER
ABSTRACT

 Security is the prime concern in our day to day life while performing any
activity. In the current scenario, accidental death of lineman is often read
and evidenced.
 In this direction, a safety measure to safe guard the operator is found very
necessary looking into the present working style.
 The electric lineman safety system is designed to control the control panel
doors and circuit breaker by using a password for the safety.
INTRODUCTION

 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.
EXISTING SYSTEM

 The existing work focuses on the regular practice and flaws of line clearance
(LC) for the repair request and closing of LC after the repair is done.
 The draw backs of current LC system are charging of the line by accidental or
by mistake of the operators at substation may be due to lack of information
or criticality has evidenced injuries or even death of working linemen on the
line.
PROPOSED SYSTEM

 In proposed system, password and Bluetooth based circuit breaker using

Arduino UNO microcontroller
 In this system we are implementing keypad based circuit breaker
 In this system ,loads can be controlled i.e., switch off/on by using
password.This system consists of 4*4 matrix keypad, LCD and relays.

 LCD
A liquid crystal display (LCD) is a thin, flat display device made
up of any number of color or monochrome pixels arrayed in
front of a light source or reflector.
 Each pixel consists of a column of liquid crystal molecules
suspended between two transparent electrodes, and two
polarizing filters, the axes of polarity of which are
perpendicular to each other. Without the liquid crystals
between them, light passing through one would be blocked by
the other.
The liquid crystal twists the polarization of light entering one
filter to allow it to pass through the other.
A program must interact with the outside world using input
and output devices that communicate directly with a human
being. One of the most common devices attached to an
controller is an LCD display.
 FEATURES:
• The operating voltage of this LCD is 4.7V-5.3V
• It includes two rows where each row can produce 16-
characters.
• The utilization of current is 1mA with no backlight
• Every character can be built with a 5×8 pixel box
• The alphanumeric LCDs alphabets & numbers
• Is display can work on two modes like 4-bit & 8-bit
• These are obtainable in Blue & Green Backlight
• It displays a few custom generated characters
PIN DESCRIPTION
RELAY
A relay is an electrical switch that opens and
closes under the control of another electrical
circuit.
 In the original form, the switch is operated by an
electromagnet to open or close one or many sets
of contacts.
A relay is able to control an output circuit of
higher power than the input circuit, it can be
considered to be, in a broad sense, a form of an
electrical amplifier.
POWER SUPPLY
All digital circuits require regulated power supply.
In this article we are going to learn how to get a
regulated positive supply from the mains supply.
AURDINO CONTROLLER
The Arduino Uno is a microcontroller board based on
the ATmega328. It has 14 digital input/output pins (of
which 6 can be used as PWM outputs), 6 analog inputs, a
16 MHz ceramic resonator, a USB connection, a power
jack, an ICSP header, and a reset button.
It contains everything needed to support the
microcontroller; simply connect it to a computer with a
USB cable or power it with a AC-to-DC adapter or
battery to get started.
The Uno differs from all preceding boards in that it does
not use the FTDI USB-to-serial driver chip. Instead, it
features the Atmega16U2 (Atmega8U2 up to version R2)
programmed as a USB-to-serial converter
