Abstract:

Controls and remote controls are generally used on more extensive power lines and less commonly on smaller lines. Efforts are being made to automate small power plants. These efforts include grid monitoring, developing autonomous grids, using technologies to forecast and monitor energy demand and implementing these services better requires more intelligent computer systems and equipment. These components work like traditional circuit breakers to protect the electrical system. However, the Smart Breaker stands out by offering multiple functions. It protects you from dangerous electrical surges and can cause power outages if the current is too high. In addition, it can be controlled remotely, allowing individuals to work within the power grid without physically approaching it. Moreover, it has the unique ability to assess energy consumption. These unique features have evolved with future developments, including more intelligent electronic systems. This paper focuses on a unique “smart breaker” device that performs test tasks. This includes power management, anomaly detection, device networking and power consumption analysis.
