Abstract: This study presents the development of a smart electrical outlet system designed to mitigate household risks such as fire and electrocution caused by electrical overloads. The system integrates an SCT-013-020 current sensor, an ATmega328P microcontroller, and solid-state relays to monitor and control current flow. Using an OLED display, it provides real-time information on power usage and alerts when the current exceeds a defined 15-ampere limit. The control algorithm autonomously disconnects high-demand outlets during overload conditions, ensuring localized protection. Experimental validation using household appliances demonstrates the system's effectiveness in providing independent, reliable overcurrent protection compliant with national safety standards.
