Design and construction of a remote three phase meter line switching system.

Abstract

The project seeks to design and construct a remote automated three phase line switching control system. The proposed system is enabled the utility company remotely re-connect back its customers on three phase lines without sending technical personnel on ground. The project is based on an 8-bit reduced instruction set computer based on Harvard CPU architecture-the ATMEGA328P microcontroller interfaced with a quad band SIM900 GSM modem from SIMcom. By sending control commands, the utility company is remotely control connection of three phase customers.
