Abstract: This paper presents the validation and evaluation of the 3-pin socket outlet for student hall of residence specifically university halls appliances. It is a new method of reducing the electricity usage in residences at the same time increasing the safety aspect for the socket. Smart Socket Outlet is a project that has safety and economic aspects. Different with others, Smart Socket Outlet will cut the supply when current flow reaches the maximum amount that has been pre-set. This socket is able to improve in safety aspect to overcome over flow of current. This system also has potential to reduce the electricity usage in student residents. By applying this Smart Socket Outlet, consumer will be more secured and at the same time electricity usage will decrease.
Keywords: Current limitation, economic, overcurrent protection, safety, trip automatically.
