Smart Monitoring System for Earthing Health and Fault Alert

Electrical earthing plays a vital role in ensuring safety, equipment protection, and reliable operation of electrical power systems. Conventional earthing systems rely on periodic manual inspection to measure ground resistance, which may fail to detect sudden variations caused by environmental or mechanical factors. This paper presents a Smart Earthing Monitoring System based on Internet of Things (IoT) technology for real-time monitoring of ground resistance. The proposed system continuously measures earth resistance using a controlled current injection method and transmits data to a cloud platform for remote supervision. The system generates alerts when resistance exceeds safe limits, enabling immediate corrective action. Performance evaluation demonstrates improved fault detection speed, higher reliability, and reduced maintenance risk compared to traditional methods. The proposed framework provides a cost-effective and scalable solution suitable for industrial, commercial, and smart infrastructure applications
