Includes bibliographical references.
An earthquake (also known as a tremor or temblor) is the result of a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves. It is one of the most devastating natural calamities which causes sudden movement of the earth surface. Buildings and infrastructure are likely to sustain damage following a strong earthquake. As a result, there may be a release of flammable gases or liquids and other combustible material coming into contact with ignition sources, such as arcing electrical wires. While earthquakes cannot be prevented or accurately predicted, their potential damage can be prevented or minimized by understanding the hazard. This study specifically aimed to develop a microcontroller- based earthquake detector with automatic circuit interrupter that helps mitigate electric fires by automatically interrupting the main circuit breaker in the event of an earthquake with a seismic intensity of at least 5.
Keywords: microcontroller, earthquake, fire.
