DESIGN OF AUTOMATIC CHANGE OVER SWITCH WITH GENERATOR CONTROL MECHANISM
Journal Title: Academic Research International - Year 2012, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Power supply in Nigeria and most developing countries of the world is anything but stable. This has adverse effects on the consumers of the electricity and the equipments that are operated from the mains sources of electricity supply in these parts of the world. In this paper, we provide an automatic switching mechanism that transfers the consumer loads to a power source from a generator in the case of power failure in the mains supply. It automatically detects when power has been restored to the mains supply and returns the loads to this source while turning off the power from the generator set. This mechanism has been tested and we recorded a great result. It thus holds an important key in the provision of a continuous power supply through a near seamless switching between the mains supply and an alternative standby source like the generator set.
