2 Simple Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) Circuits
In this article we investigate an ATS circuit for initiating an automatic changeover from mains supply to generator supply through many intermediate transfer stages which involves activating the fuel valve, choke valve and the generator starter. The circuit was requested by Mr. Hari, and another dedicated reader from this blog. Requirement for 5kva LPG Generator […]
Simple 3 Phase Inverter Circuit
In this post I have explained how to make a 3 phase inverter circuit which can be used in conjunction with any ordinary single phase square wave inverter circuit. The circuit was requested by one of the interested readers of this blog. UPDATE: Looking for an Arduino based design? You may find this one useful: Arduino 3 […]
Electronic Load Controller (ELC) Circuit
In this post I have explained a simple electronic load controller or governor circuit which automatically regulates and controls the rotational speed of a hydro-electric generator system by adding or deducting an array of dummy loads. The procedure ensures a stabilized voltage and frequency output for the user. The idea was requested by Mr. Aponso […]
How to Convert 3 phase AC to Single phase AC
In this post I have explained how to convert 3 phase AC to single phase AC through a special bridge rectifier at any desired voltage. The idea was requested by Mr. Chaquito Technical Specifications You have a very nice page and I find it really good, If been looking for a 380V 3ph converter to […]
Grid Mains to Generator Changeover Relay Circuit
In this post I have explained a simple configuration which can be used as a automatic changeover circuit for switching AC grid mains to generator mains, during power failures or outages. The explained circuit will effectively switch the connected appliances to the generator mains during power failure however it won’t be able to switch start the generator automatically, […]
