Abstract :
This paper presents a system for monitoring the electrical disturbances which are present every day in electrical power distribution networks. A simple solution for detecting the disturbances using a low power microcontroller (MSP 430) was developed. The system was devised to work with 230 V 50 Hz electrical power networks in Europe.
