Sistema de prevenção infantil contra acidentes elétricos em tomadas residenciais

Abstract

Electricity is present wherever people carry out their activities. On the one hand, we have convenience and progress for humanity, on the other we have the dangers that lack of information and carelessness can cause, one of the main dangers in terms of exposure being electric shock, a risk that is directly inserted in homes, and especially linked to children who, out of curiosity, can come into contact with sockets and can cause fatal accidents. For this reason, the aim of this work is to create a system to prevent children from having electrical accidents in residential sockets, using the RF 433 MHz sensor, which has a transmitter, which will be next to the child, and a receiver, which will be connected to the microcontroller and the relay in the socket. When the child approaches within the pre-defined distance, the relay will be activated and the socket will be de-energized, preventing an accident if the child touches the socket.
