Project Idea:
This project is designed to enhance safety for electrical line workers by allowing them to directly control the electrical circuit through a password-based system. It prevents accidents caused by miscommunication between linemen and substation staff during maintenance work. The circuit can only be turned ON/OFF by entering the correct password on a matrix keypad, making the operation secure and manual from the lineman's side.
Components:
8051 Microcontroller
Matrix Keypad
LCD Display
Relay Driver IC
Voltage Regulator IC
EEPROM IC (for password storage/upgrade)
Resistors, Capacitors, Transistors
Diodes
PCB and Breadboards
LEDs
Transformer/Adapter
Push Buttons
Switch
IC & IC Sockets
Cables and Connectors
Lamps
Project Features:
Secure password-based ON/OFF control of circuit
Matrix keypad input for password entry
LCD display to show system status
