Abstract
The problems in Electrical installation of a building will be more complex in line with the functions or operations applied in the building. On the other side, the needs of power supply are very important to the operation of the building. A problem that often arises is a difficulty to localize which point having disturbances in the power distribution system in the building. This research is trying to solve that problem by building a prototype system of monitoring and controlling of the electrical distribution system of the school buildings. In this research, the writer is utilizing the Arduino-based system availability, which is Freeware with the support of developer software and sensory and actuator modules that are available including their sources. For interactions between the user and the system, it is used Wonderware Intouch which is a commercial software with a student license. The result of this research is the system consisted of voltage sensor, electrical flows and electrical relays as well that has been applied and connected to arduino ATMEGA 2560. Furthermore, the system can be configured, monitored and controlled through software that can be carried out by a computer.
