Abstract: In recent surveys, the electrical accidents to the linemen are increasing year by year due to the improper communication between the electrical staff and the substation. These faults occur during maintenance and there is no proper coordination between the people to people. This paper deals about this issue and the solution brought out to reduce electrical accidents due to these communication failures. In our day to life, the applications of embedded systems are used in everywhere and it is cost effective and better accuracy and precise of results will get. Currently, the research is going on the basis of embedded systems which includes microcontroller plays a vital role. Recent technology like Arduino based system is used by implementing the password protection in circuit breaker. Password is entered by the specific person and there is a provision of password changing system. Arduino UNO is used to control the signal in the relay module and the matrix keyboard is introduced to enter the input and LCD display is used to display the output and the ON/OFF switches provided as the loads through the Relay switch. By using this system, accidents can be prevented and valuable human lives can be saved.
