The quality of the electric power supply in an electrical system is very necessary. One of the important things that need to be considered is the quality of the voltage supply. The disturbance in the electrical system is under voltage. Undervoltage is an electrical system disturbance that will affect the performance of connected electrical equipment and reduce the life of the equipment, including battery components in DC voltage source electrical systems such as solar power plants. To anticipate this occurrence, Under Voltage Relay equipment is needed which can be used to protect batteries and DC equipment from under voltage conditions by using a potentiometer as a voltage divider and IC 7809 to reduce the voltage from the battery input, Relays to disconnect the load, LCD for monitoring and using Arduino Nano microcontroller control. The method used is a development method or Research and Development. This method is used as a basis for designing and manufacturing Low Voltage Relay devices to protect batteries and DC equipment. From the results of the tests carried out, it can disconnect the DC load when detecting low voltage conditions with an accuracy of ± 99.795%. for the normalized execution test for under voltage relay  at voltages of 12 V and 24 V, there is a difference value of ± 0.096V and an error of ± 0.554%.
