Three Phase Power Monitor Kit with Arduino Mega
Monitor 3-Phase Power in Real Time with Arduino Mega Kit
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
You'll wire three ZMPT101B voltage sensors and three ACS712 20A current sensors to an Arduino Mega, then write code that calculates and displays per-phase and total kilowatts in real time — exactly what an industrial energy meter does. It's a hands-on way to grasp how factories, data centers, and commercial buildings monitor energy consumption without getting lost in high‑voltage complexity.
What You'll Build
A portable 3‑phase power monitor. A bright 16×2 LCD shows voltage, current, and real power (kW) for each of the three phases, plus the total system power. Use it to audit energy usage in your school lab, workshop, or even at home if you have a 3‑phase connection. It's self‑contained and safe to operate when assembled correctly.
What You'll Learn
- How to safely interface AC voltage and current sensors with an Arduino
- Calculating real power in kilowatts from instantaneous voltage and current samples
- I2C backpack integration for LCD to reduce wiring clutter
- Deploying a meter‑class measurement system on a microcontroller

Who This Kit Is For
CBSE Class 11‑12 students preparing a physics or electronics practical project for board evaluation. B.Tech first‑year ECE/EEE students diving into instrumentation. Smart India Hackathon teams building energy monitoring prototypes. ATL Tinkering Lab mentors introducing industrial sensing with safe, low‑voltage AC.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Scan the QR code to launch the AI build companion, trained on this specific kit. It provides wiring diagrams, code snippets, and debugging steps. Reach us on WhatsApp if you need a human nudge.
Can I connect this to a real 3‑phase supply?
Yes, the ZMPT101B and ACS712 modules are rated for up to 250V AC and 20A. Always use a suitable circuit breaker and never leave the powered kit unattended.
Is this kit accepted for CBSE practical exams?
Absolutely. It demonstrates measurement principles, sensor interfacing, and real‑time data display — core topics in the CBSE syllabus. The clear build documentation helps you write a solid project report.
Can I log data to a PC instead of only showing on LCD?
Yes, the Arduino Mega has a spare hardware serial port. You can modify the code to stream data to a serial monitor or add an SD card module. The AI companion includes hints for data logging extensions.
Three ZMPT101B and three ACS712 measure all phases of 3-phase supply. LCD shows per-phase and total kW.
