A simulation of a power surge monitoring and suppression system using LabVIEW and multisim co-simulation tool

The proponents introduced the development of a power surge monitoring and suppression system with the use of NI LabVIEW. It is designed to capture waveforms and data of an occurring power surge from electrical wirings. The system is intended for household use to protect household appliances. Upon creation of the system, errors and difficulty have brought about problems. The problem acquired is the way to manually produce a power surge. To compensate the problem and to be certain that the system is working decorously, the proponents simulated the whole system using co-simulation of NI Multisim and NI LabVIEW. The proposed simulated system is then tested and proven to be working according to its purpose. The simulated system can monitor and capture waveform passing through power surge suppressor circuit.
