ABSTRACT
The research work deal with automatic control system to switch
ON/or/add/OFF predetermined energy source. The automatic system
ON/or/add OFF consists of both AC and DC voltage sensor, uninterrupted DC
power supply, relay switches, generator choke control, microcontroller and
indicators. The voltage sensors were used to determine the voltage availability
from the various sources: National grid, inverter and generator. The
uninterrupted dc power supply was used to drive the whole circuit. The choke
control was also in cooperated to start the generator which consists of
solenoid with solenoid driver. The high-power relay switching unit would be
trigger due to the information processed by microcontroller; this processed
information would be transmitted to the appropriate relay for action. The
indicators were used to specify the voltage sources available. All these units
were wired together. The time delay is determined by time of operation or
decision by microcontroller, make near zero delay in switching. When
switching to national grid and generator, the load was connected but for the
inverter trigger, few important loads were loaded to it. The delay time noted
was around 85ms, charge from national grid to generator but when inverter is
place in between the national grid and the generator the delay time is near
zero.
