In most cases this is due to the ELCB (earth leakage circuit breaker) or RCD (residual-current device) which is an automatically-operated electrical switch used to disconnect electricity supply when is a fault within the electrical path. It is a written standard in Malaysia to install a circuit breaker which is designed to protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by overload, short circuit is detected at the tripped position. In a large area such as industries, public facilties, remotelt operated stations do not have a system to notify the authority when there is a power faillure or trip at any part of the power system. In assisting such scenario, the Distribution Board Alert System is designed to alert the user using wireless technology on thhe event of power failure detected. The medium used to alert the user is via short messaging system (SMS). DbAS is an intelligent real-time system which is not only capable of alerting the users on a typical power failure, but going a step advance by alerting the user on the specific fault of their distribution board. The DbAS is able to identify the type of power failure and the faulty component in a distribution board. The DbAS helps many individual or private users in ensuring continuous power supply to industries and any electrical based application which requires instant alert system for power failure to the users regardless of time and location in the shortest time possible.
