This document describes a smart power failure alert device that monitors a main power supply and sends a message when the power cuts off. It uses a transformer to convert 240V AC to 12V AC, then a bridge rectifier converts it to 5V DC to power an Arduino board. The Arduino acts as a trigger to send a message via GSM module when power fails, alerting users remotely. This device is useful for monitoring critical systems like fish tanks or factory equipment and allows timely response to power issues.

2. INTRODUCTION
⮚ Smart Power failure alert is a power supply monitoring device
that will trigger a message when the mains supply cuts off.
⮚ This device is helpful to inform the loss of power supply to some
critical installation such as a pump in a fish tank. Once the
message is sent, you will know that there is a loss of power
supply and actions need to be taken to rectify the situation by
providing alternative power supply or relocating the installation.

Working
⮚ A Transformer is used to Convert 240V to 12V AC supply.
⮚ Further, Using a Bridge rectifier Converting 12V AC to 5V DC supply.
⮚ This 5V DC supply can be used as an input to Arduino which can be used as a trigger to
Arduino in order to send message using GSM module.
⮚ By using this GSM module the information of power failure is transmmited via SMS.

CONCLUSION
⮚A power fail detection circuit in electrically powered apparatus comprising a power
switch for the apparatus and power detection means responsive to the absence of
electrical power from the power switch to provide a power fail indication.
⮚This will help to alert in case there is Power failure.
⮚Hence, power failure alert is a very useful system in case of detecting power
failure
⮚In case if there is a power failure, then message is sent to the user irrespective of
his location
