        abstract = {Electrical hazards are one of the major threats faced by line workers in the power sector. To mitigate the risk of electrocution, a safety helmet embedded with an electric field detection system has been developed. This system utilizes a simple and cost-effective circuit based on three BC547 NPN transistors to detect the presence of AC electric fields. Once a field is detected, the helmet activates an audible or visual alert to warn the user. This research demonstrates the viability of analog field detection for practical safety applications and proposes a novel, wearable implementation.},
