Abstract

Nowadays all home appliance needs care and monitoring since most of these devices are AC devices. There is a need to monitor its energy consumption so that it is possible to track its performance over the period. By doing energy monitoring and controlling, it is important to predict the device failure or whether it needs any maintenance or not. By doing energy monitoring properly then it is easy to do predictive maintenance. Before getting into the monitor, it’s imperative to have a portable device that is easily installable and replaceable from one appliance to another appliance. A current transformer of a minimum of 30A is required. Need to design a device capable of providing voltage, current, power, kWh, frequency and power factor, along with these parameters a relay to be provided for appliance power on and off controlling purpose. For data analysis and monitor, this energy parameter has to be stored in the cloud platform. By adding the facilities like monitoring, controlling and analysing the ...
