Abstract
In many residential buildings the electrical wires of individual houses are laid in the same conduit pipe and some mistakes could be made in identifying similar coloured wires when they are laid in same conduit pipe. Most of the faults are caused by the neutral interconnection in the wiring system. Usually neutral wires are connected to neutral bus within the panel board or switchboard, and are "bonded" to earth ground. In our secondary distribution, tree system of supply is mostly utilized. The voltage of each phase to neutral will be maintained at rated value even during the unbalanced load conditions. If neutral wire connection is poor the voltage at each phase will be different from one another, such an isolated neutral point is called floating neutral and the voltage of the point is always changing. This is the reason for over voltage causing damage to appliance’s which should be protected. In this paper, a smart system that identifies power leakage and provides over voltage protection to the residential building is proposed.
