Background of the Study

In previous technologies, the outlet was usually used as an outlet or source of

electricity. The outlet can be found in a house or in a building that powers appliances

that need electricity. The secured outlet will be used to keep the children safe and also

prevent accidents at home. The secured outlet is safe to use and easy to use. It does

not release electricity until it senses the plug.

The biggest problem with using the outlet is being careless. Being careless in

using the outlet will cause a series of accidents and put children at risk. It is very scary

to use the outlet, especially if it is left lying on the floor or in a place that children can

reach.

According to Nathan Chandler every year, hundreds of Americans die due to

electrical accidents called electrocution, death caused by electric shock. Sometimes

electrocution happens in utility and construction incidents, but these tragic accidents

happen in homes, too. Before the widespread adoption of GFCI (ground-fault circuit

interrupter) outlets, around 800 people died annually in the United States. Now,

thanks largely to the proliferation of GFCI technologies, particularly in areas near

water, such as bathroom sinks or in places exposed to rain or standing water that

number has dropped to around 200 deaths per year.

This study focuses on the safety of people. A secured outlet can be created

using sensors and an arduino controller. This project will be useful to maintain the

safety of people, and the device and the people using it will satisfy this ability.
 In this study, the researchers will develop a secured outlet that requires them

to sense the plug before releasing electricity from our outlet. This study applies to

different types of houses to maintain safety and be comfortable, especially for those

that have children. The secured outlet does not simply release electricity until the plug

is sensed.

This project secured outlet finds a way to help people be safe and comfortable

using it. This project is composed of a sensor, an arduino controller, a plug and an

outlet.
Objective of the Study

Generally, it aims to develop a secured outlet.

Specifically, it aims to:

1. design a secured outlet

2. construct secured outlet; and

3. test the workability of secured outlet in terms of ;

a. secured the safety

b. secured the preventing accident

c. secured the accident at home

Scope and Limitation

This project focuses on designing, constructing, and testing the workability of

secured outlets. This project will be used in a house and any type of appliances will

need electricity. It is not applicable to remote areas that do not need electricity.

Expected Output of the Study

The researcher assumes that the project will be workable according to its

purpose. The project will be used to secure the safety of people.

Place and Time of the Study

The study will be designed and constructed with proper Kayaga, Kabacan, and

Cotabato. Testing will be done at CTI, USM, Kabacan, and Cotabato in the first

semester of sy 2022–2023.

Project Development Process

The project development process is shown in figure 1. There are three steps,

namely input, process, and output. Ideas from related literature, prior arts, supplies

and materials, tools and equipment, and trial form are included in the input, and the

project is currently being designed, constructed, tested, and revised. The output will

be the secured outlet.
