INTRODUCTION .
In the rapidly advancing field of
electrical engineering and embedded
systems, security and safety are
paramount. One innovative approach to
enhancing the security and control of
electrical circuits is through the
implementation of a password-based
circuit breaker. This project aims to provide
an efficient and user-friendly solution for
managing access to electrical circuits,
ensuring that only authorized individuals
can operate critical electrical
 INTRODUCTION
 Key Features and Benefits:
1. Enhanced Security

2. User-Friendly Interface

3. Flexibility and Scalability

4. Cost-Effective Solution

5. Educational Value
 INTRODUCTION
 Scope of the project :
1. Home automation : we can use the project as a
part of home automation and control the
electrical supply.

2. To ensure lineman safety : The safety of

lineman is very important now a days . We can
reduce the accident caused due to the lack of
communication between the lineman working at
high voltage carrying conductor and the
substation person using this project.

3. To save the energy loss: We can merge the

project with password locked door in hotels and
rooms and save the energy loss happens.
 INTRODUCTION
 What is a circuit breaker ?
 A circuit breaker is an electrical

device designed to protect an

electrical circuit from damage
caused by overload or short circuit.
 Primary function: To interrupt the

flow of electric current when a fault

is detected.

SOFTWARE
 What is Arduino IDE?
 Integrated Development Environment

for Arduino microcontrollers.

 Provides a user-friendly platform for

writing, compiling, and uploading

code.
 SOFTWARE
Key Features:
 User-Friendly Interface
 Simple and intuitive layout.
 Suitable for beginners and advanced users.
 Code Editor
 Syntax highlighting.
 Auto-indentation.
 Bracket matching.
 Built-in Libraries
 Access to numerous libraries for sensors,
displays, motors, etc.
 Simplifies coding and hardware interaction.
 SOFTWARE
 Generation of source
code :

Defining the variables, loops

and function we generated the
source code that is used in our
project to control the relay using
the password we entered.
 SOFTWARE
 Compiling and Uploading :
 Connect the Arduino Uno R3 to the computer using a USB
cable.
 Open the Arduino IDE and select the appropriate board
(Arduino Uno) and port from the Tools menu.
 Copy and paste the source code into the Arduino IDE code
editor.
 Click the "Verify" button to compile the code. The IDE checks
for any errors in the code and reports them in the console.
 If there are no errors, click the "Upload" button to upload the
compiled code to the Arduino board.
 The Arduino IDE will compile the code and transfer it to the
board. The status will be displayed in the console, indicating
whether the upload was successful or if there were any
issues
RESULT
 Testing of the project :
After completion of the hardware
assembly, software update and wiring
connection, the followings tests are perform
to check the project :
1. Supply is given to 12 V DC adapter.
2. The two pin plug is connected to the AC
supply to give supply to the connected load.
3. Switch is turned on.
4. Password to typed using the keypad when
it shows pass to on on the display.
 RESULT
5. Circuit is turned on by typing correct
password and pressing the key A
6. Turn off the circuit by typing a wrong
password
7. After typing wrong password key C is pressed
to turn off the circuit
8. Turn off the circuit by typing a correct
password
9. After typing correct password key C is
pressed to turn off the circuit
By following the above steps we can test either
the project is working or not

RESULT

After following the steps

mentioned the results are as follows:

1. Type the correct password and press

A the circuit turns on and the bulb
glows

2. Type the correct password and press

C. We observe that the circuit is
turned off , the bulb will not glow
even when switch is turned on .
RESULT
3. When wrong password is entered, the
display shows wrong password

4. When correct password is entered

and key A is pressed while the circuit
is on, the display shows already on

5. When correct password is entered

and key C is pressed while the circuit
is off, the display shows already off

 FUTURE WORK
To build on the success of this
project, several future enhancements are
proposed:
 Integration with Smart Grid Systems:
Integrating the circuit breaker system with
smart grid technology can provide real-
time monitoring and control, enhancing
the overall management of electrical

 Advanced Authentication Methods:
Incorporating advanced authentication
methods such as fingerprint or facial
 FUTURE WORK

 Data Logging and Analytics: Implementing a

data logging system to record access attempts
and operational status can provide valuable
insights for maintenance planning and security
audits.
 Remote Monitoring and Control: Developing

a companion mobile application or web interface

for remote monitoring and control can provide
additional convenience and functionality.
 Use of over voltage and under voltage

protection scheme for automation of the
