Abstract
This paper presents the design, implementation, and evaluation of a microcontroller-based overload protection system for home appliances. The proposed system utilizes an advanced microcontroller to monitor electrical loads in real-time, detect overload conditions, and automatically disconnect power supply to prevent damage. The system features adjustable threshold settings, rapid response times, and compact design. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed system in preventing electrical overload, reducing energy consumption, and enhancing appliance lifespan. Compared to traditional fuse-based protection methods, the microcontroller-based system shows improved accuracy, reliability, and adaptability. This research contributes to the development of intelligent electrical safety solutions for smart homes. Keywords: Microcontroller, Overload Protection, Home Appliances, Smart Home.
