Arduino Circuit Breaker Simulator
Need to test some large circuit breakers? You may have found your solution! This Arduino circuit breaker simulator project was submitted by James, a member of Programming Electronics Academy.
Let me just say I am impressed – I wish I could build something half as cool!

James writes this about his project…
I work at a power plant and we routinely test large circuit breakers. Because of the constant closing and tripping these breakers take a lot of needless wear and tear.
I decided to build a device that would simulate the breaker.
Large circuit breakers have several circuits that indicate open and close conditions, additionally they perform other functions like alarms and activating other relays.
Technicians needed a small lightweight device that could easily be plugged in and simulate all the same functions.
Here is what James had to same about our training at Programming Electronics Academy:
You have done an excellent job putting together a comprehensive course that is easy to understand and follow. It has helped me progress very quickly in my understanding how Arduino works.

Hi: would need to understand what all conditions of the breakers are simulated, could it be used for Medium Voltage breakers of 11kV as well?
Hai i would like to control circuit breaker from web application wil you help me and this code giving error “REady message is not decared in the scope”
Will you pls guide me to clear the work
Do you have any more detail and pictures of this project?
Hi Dale! Outside of the schematic listed and the posted code, I do not have anything more. I’ll reach out to our student and see if he has more.
Is there something specific you are looking for?
I like to know this information #include says Output exit status 1
Compilation error #include expects “FILENAME” or
Is this an error you are getting in Tinkercad?
