The single-phase wiring practical conducted at vocational colleges involves circuit wiring that requires circuit testing to verify the accuracy of the students' wiring work. Circuit testing, which includes live circuit testing, must be carried out by students themselves under the supervision of a teacher. For each wiring circuit, a distribution fuse box must be installed to protect the electrical circuits within the institution. Currently, the distribution fuse boxes available on the market lack indicators to show if there is an issue with the wiring. To test the circuit, students or lecturers need to use a test pen. Therefore, the Indicator Distribution Board project was developed to achieve the objective of facilitating live circuit testing with the addition of phase indicator lights. Another objective is to build an IoT circuit using the Blynk application. This project saves time during wiring testing. In this project, indicator lights are used to show the functionality of each circuit; if the light is on, it indicates the circuit is in good condition. Additionally, this project utilizes an IoT circuit and the Blynk application, allowing lecturers to monitor voltage and current in the circuit remotely through an electronic device. This project was tested on 30 students of the SVM Electrical Technology Program at Kangar Vocational College. Afterward, students were given a Google form to provide feedback on the project. Results from the study found that 100% of students agreed that this project facilitates circuit testing with the IoT circuit using the Blynk application. Furthermore, the project also saves teaching and learning time. Improvements that could be made to this project include adding an automation system to facilitate troubleshooting in case of a trip.
