Electrical energy has both positive and negative effects nowadays, with the potential to cause property and human loss. Technical professionals working at electrical energy generation, distribution, and utilization points may die due to carelessness or neglect. Although there are protection elements (fuses, residual current protection relays, etc.) in electrical panels that interrupt the flow of electrical energy in the event of a shock, there may be working areas where energy cannot be cut off due to incorrect electrical connections caused by unauthorized people interacting with the panel. Existing protective components may be insufficient. The experiments include both wired protection elements and wireless detection elements. However, they need to be enhanced because they have limited detection distances. Furthermore, using an ergonomic design can improve operability. New protection and warning features must be designed using developing technology. To prevent employees from being shocked by being exposed to electrical energy in the workplace, AC voltage can be detected without contact using this study, which includes the design and test results of a wearable technology product that warns when electricity is present. An electrical circuit that technical staff can wear on their finger detects voltage without contact and displays the existence of energy with a red LED. It was discovered that the test circuit detects 230V AC electrical energy up to 8 cm away and warns with light.

ELEKTRİK ENERJİSİ VARLIĞINI ALGILAYIP HABER VEREN GİYİLEBİLİR TEKNOLOJİ ÜRÜNÜ GELİŞTİRME VE UYGULAMASI

Öz

Elektrik enerjisi kullanımının çok geniş olduğu günümüzde bu kaynağın avantajlarının yanında can ve mal kaybına sebebiyet verebilecek olumsuz sonuçları da vardır. Elektrik enerjisi üretim, dağıtım ve kullanım noktalarında çalışan teknik personelin gerek dikkatsizlik gerekse ihmal sonucunda iş kazasına uğraması teknik personelin can kaybına dahi sebep olabilmektedir. Elektrik panolarında çarpılma durumlarında var olan elektrik enerjisinin akışını kesen koruma elemanları (Sigorta, Kaçak akım koruma rölesi vb) olmasına rağmen yetkisiz insanların panoya müdahalesiyle yanlış elektrik bağlantıları sonucu enerjinin kesilemediği çalışma alanları olabilmektedir. Bu kapsamda elektrik enerjisinin olumsuz etkilerinden canlıları korumak amacıyla mevcut koruma elemanları yetersiz kalabilmektedir. Yapılan mevcut çalışmalarda kablolu koruma elemanlarının yanında kablosuz algılama elemanları da mevcuttur. Ancak belirli algılama mesafeleri olduğu için geliştirilmesi gerekir. Ve ergonomik bir tasarım ile işlerlik arttırılabilir. Bu gibi sebeplerden dolayı canlıların elektrik enerjisi altında olumsuzluklara maruz kalmamaları için koruma elemanlarının geliştirilmesi gerekliliği ortaya çıkmaktadır. Gelişen teknolojinin kullanılmasıyla yeni koruma ve ikaz elemanlarının geliştirilmesi gerekmektedir. Günümüzde giyilebilir teknolojilerin gelişimiyle birçok alanda kullanılması; elektrik enerjisinin varlığını çalışılan pano veya ortamda tespit edebilen bir giyilebilir teknoloji ürününün de olabileceğini ortaya koymaktadır. Çalışanların çalışma yapılan yerde elektrik enerjisine maruz kalarak çarpılmamaları için; elektriğin varlığını tespit ettiğinde uyarıda bulunan bir giyilebilir teknoloji ürünü tasarımı ve test sonuçlarını içeren bu çalışmayla temassız olarak AC gerilimin varlığı tespit edilebilmekte. Teknik personelin parmağına takabileceği bir elektronik devre ile gerilimin temassız olarak algılaması yapılıp kırmızı LED ile enerji varlığı bildirilmektedir. Yapılan test devresinin 8 cm mesafeye kadar 230V AC elektrik enerjisini kararlı bir şekilde algılayarak ışık ile uyarıda bulunduğu gözlemlendi.
