Description
The aim of this project is to develop a?low voltage and high voltage tripping mechanism?to protect the load from damage. The fluctuation in AC mains supply is frequent in homes and industries. The sensitive electronic devices in these conditions can get easily damaged. It is preferable to have a tripping mechanism to protect the load.
This proposed system will trip the load in the event of the input voltage falling below/above a set value. Two comparators are used as window comparator formed out of one quad comparator IC. This delivers an error output if the input voltage to them crosses the range beyond the voltage window. A relay is then operated to cutoff the load for safety reasons. A lamp is used as load in this project. It is extended by integrating an alarm, which sounds when the tripping takes place
It can also be enhanced in future by interfacing with a GSM modem to convey alert message to the user via SMS to take appropriate action.
