Learn how to properly connect a generator changeover switch in this informative video. Whether you are working with a single-phase or three-phase system, understanding the automatic changeover switch connection is crucial for engineering projects. Discover the benefits of using an automatic changeover for generators and how to ensure a smooth power changeover. Watch step-by-step instructions on how to connect an automatic voltage switch and relay for efficient power management. Don't miss out on this essential guide for seamless generator operation.
An automatic changeover switch is a set of components connected in a simple control circuit to control two (2) sources of power supplying the same load at a time.
Automatic changeover switches are used in situations where you want a second source of power to come in after the main or utility supply has gone, the second source could be a Generator or solar
In case the second source of power is Generator, when the power shuts down the changeover starts the generator automatically and also connects the load to the generator. when the main power comes back the changeover switch changes the position from the generator contactor to the main contactor and takes the generator into cooldown and then shut off the engine.
An automatic changeover switch can be either three (3) phases or a single (1)
No matter the rating, size and phase control circuit remains the same.
The generator automatic changeover switch comprises two (2) parts
Namely
Main component part and generator component part
MAIN COMPONENT includes
Timer on-delay
Relay(DC or AC)
Phase failure (single or three phases depending on the power)
The contactor ( with mechanical interlock)
Control circuit breaker
GENERATOR COMPONENTS includes
Timer on-delay
Relay(DC or AC)
The contactor ( with mechanical interlock)
Control circuit breaker
