Abstract - This paper contains a short circuit protection
system using sensor systems and Arduino module with
wireless communication. In many industries and M.S.M.E.
there are cases of fire and the major cause is short circuit
which mostly occurs due to moisture level increase in plant or
increase in heat and temperature in the plant and circuits. So
to overcome this we have developed a short circuit protection
system using Arduino ,GSM module, heat sensor, temperature
sensor, relay and alarm. It is easy to implement and can be
used in various sectors and industries by changing certain
parameters.
Key Words: Arduino, DS18B20, GSM module, Industrial

1.INTRODUCTION
Electric power is generated, transmitted and distributed
through large interconnected power systems. The electric
power is generated in various types of power plants. Then the
voltage level of the power will be step up by the transformer
before the power is transmitted. Since electric power is the
product of voltage and current, high voltage is used in
transmission in order to reduce the line currents then the
power transmission losses is reduced that is copper loss. The
primary objective of all power systems is to avoid the load
shading. However, lightning or other natural events like wind
and ice, physical accidents, equipment failure, and other
unpredictable events may cause a short circuit between the
phase wires of the transmission line or from the phase wires to
ground, which is called a fault. Then the short circuit current
is produced and the value of the short circuit current is very
much greater than the normal operating current. So if there is
a fault persists, there is a severe damage shown in the
electrical equipments. In order to reduce such an accident, it is
necessary to disconnect the faulted part from the healthy
system as soon as possible. This is done by the circuit breaker
and protective relay.
2. LITERATURE REVIEW
KV Baoze Wei in his paper demonstrated that, in order to
prevent working accidents by electrocution in high voltage
systems, the main safety measure consists in connecting the
earthing devices, on the both sides of working area. In any of
these three cases, if the earthing devices are chosen and placed
correctly, in the working area, as we expected, the drop
voltage, is limited to a safety value. The worker on the
console can touch one phase at a maximum distance of 2 m,
and the voltage does not exceed 1 V, for 10 of the earth
dispersion resistance.[1]
Rakesh Maisuriya in simulation of short circuit condition and
fault analysis in power system [2] From the discussion of
IEEE 14 bus power system Mat-Lab model we can conclude
that in an interconnected electrical power system if there is a
fault occurs in any of the subsystem , all the system voltages
and system currents are affected and must be improved
otherwise it will creates fault of circuit parameters to other
lines. This paper presents the Research literature work and the
Review about the Short Circuit Analysis of a large Power
System Network. Survey and lot of research papers have been
presented for the improvement and new methods to analyze
the Short Circuit Calculation in a Power System. The Aim of
this Review Paper is to propose a calculation method in
effortless technique for Short Circuit Analysis. The analysis of
the most serious short-circuit fault provides a very high inrush
current which is very dangerous for the system so to chop out
this heavy current, a suitable step should be taken so that the
dangerous effects of symmetrical faults can diminish and
making the system more reliable. If we will not improve or
disconnected faulty lines or area from healthy lines or area
then huge crisis of power will be occurred, even blackouts. So
instability, transient stability, fault analysis are very important
in power network.
Sharthak Munasib in Short-Circuit Protection for Low-
Voltage DC Distribution Systems Based on Solid-State
Circuit Breakers [8] The work presented in this thesis
addressed some important issues regarding the short-circuit
protection of low-voltage dc distribution systems. The
following conclusions and contributions are drawn from the
results presented and analyzed in the thesis: The RB-IGCT
seems the best semiconductor device for implementing a 1-
kVdc SSCB since it has the short-circuit capability of a
thyristor (~ 3 kA), extremely low on-state voltage drop (~1.25
V) during normal SSCB operation, and blocks voltages in
forward and reverse directions but conducts current only in
the forward direction. It has low thermal resistance, assisted
by double-sided cooling and hermetic sealing resulting from
its hockey-puck, thyristor-type package. All of these attributes
should result in increased efficiency, compactness and
Compared to the standardized opening time of 35-40 ms
during a fault for electromechanical circuit breakers, the
SSCB containing RB-IGCT as the semiconductor switch
