 INTRODUCTION

 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.
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 by entering password and comfortably repair the electrical line, and after coming
to the substation he can switch ON the supply to the particular line by entering the
password.
 HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS

 POWER SUPPLY BLOCK

 MICROCONTROLLER (8051)
 LCD
 MATRIX KEYPAD
 RELAY
 RELAY DRIVER
 LED
 DIODE (1N4007)
 CAPACITORS
 RESISTORS
 MICROCONTROLLER
 A microcontroller is a small computer on a single integrated circuit. A microcontroller
contains one or more CPUs along with memory and programmable input/output
peripherals.
 Microcontrollers are used in automatically controlled products and devices, such as
automobile engine control systems, remote controls, office machines, appliances, power
tools, toys and other embedded systems . In this project 8bit microcontroller is
used(8051).
 RELAY

 It is a electro magnetic switch

 Used to control the electrical devices
 Copper core magnetic flux plays main role here
• The relay's switch connections are usually labeled
COM, NC and NO:
• COM = Common, always connect to this; it is the
moving part of the itch.
• NC = Normally Closed, COM is connected to this
when the relay coil is off.
• NO = Normally Open, COM is connected to this
when the relay coil is on
KEYPAD A keypad is a set of buttons arranged in a block or

"pad" which usually bear digits, symbols and
usually a complete set of alphabetical letters. If it
mostly contains numbers then it can also be called
a numeric keypad.
 In order to detect which key is pressed from the
matrix, the row lines are to be made low one by
one and read the columns. Assume that if Row1 is
made low, then read the columns.
 If any of the key in row1 is pressed then
correspondingly the column 1will give low that is
if second key is pressed in Row1, then column2
will give low. 
 LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY (LCD)

 Most common LCDs connected to the microcontrollers are 16x2 and 20x2 displays.
 This means 16 characters per line by 2 lines and 20 characters per line by 2 lines,
respectively.
 The standard is referred to as HD44780U, which refers to the controller chip which
receives data from an external source (and communicates directly with the LCD.

 ADVANTAGES

 Avoids electrical accidents to line man

 Project is simple and easy
 Uses commonly available components
 It gives no scope of password stealing
 It is effective in providing safety to the working staff
 It can be easily installed
 DISAVANTAGES

 After the installation the maintenance cost increases

 The programming of this system is too large and complicated
 By forgetting the password it becomes difficult to operate the system
 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
 CONCLUSION

 The project titled ELECTRIC LINEMAN SAFETY BY USER CHANGEABLE

PASSWORD BASED CIRCUIT BREAKER‘ gave the following conclusions. We also
feel that a theoretical study, perhaps from a Game theoretic point of view on the effect of
circuit breakers on the markets should yield interesting results. One of the reasons is that
unlike a market with no circuit breakers, the agents in the market with circuit breakers all
have a common value to use as a goal and hence could act in co-ordination, though they
may not even exchange any information.
