Abstract:

The need to digitize electronic devices and their ability to be automatically controlled cannot be overemphasized. There is a quest for automatic switching control between the Conventional Generating Set and the Utility Source of Electricity. This project aims to design and construct an automatic change-over switch with auto start and timer. Here is the device that selects the main power supply source to a home or depending on the available quarters. It is designed to select between two power sources: power supply by the utility and self-generated power. When there is a power supply from the utility, it connects the user to this source of supply (regardless of whether the user is running on self-generated power) and stops the generator if the user is already running on self-generated power. It turns on the generator immediately after the supply from the utility is taken off and switches the supply from the Utility Supply to the generator with the aid of a microprocessor. The design also features special control functions that can enhance the generator's usability and control. Hence, effort by men to intermittently excite Generators and change over supplies due to erratic supply of electricity is thereby reduced.
