PowerGuard: AC Power Cut Alert System for Uninterrupted Operations

PowerGuard is a smart and reliable alert system designed to monitor AC power availability and provide instant alerts during power outages. Built using an Arduino microcontroller and a GSM module, this system continuously checks the status of the AC supply. In the event of a power cut, it immediately sends an SMS notification to pre-registered mobile numbers, ensuring quick response and minimized downtime.

This system is particularly useful for industries, server rooms, hospitals, and critical equipment areas where continuous power supply is crucial. The setup can also include a buzzer and LED indicators for local alerts, and the GSM system ensures remote monitoring even without internet access.

PowerGuard ensures that stakeholders are always informed of power status in real-time, helping to initiate backup systems like generators or UPS in time, avoiding operational losses and system damages.
