Automatic transfer switch for generator, in this project you
will learn about mostly used circuit of automatic transfer
switch for small power generators. There are many
automatic transfer switches are available in market. Some
of them are expensive and some are cheap. The reason
behind their price difference is type of technology used.
There are two kind of Automatic transfer switches are
available in market. Analog electronics based automatic
transfer switch and digital electronics based automatic
transfer switches. Analog electronics based transfer
switches use analog electronics in their circuit like
operational amplifier , comparators, transistors, diodes and
mechanical relays etc. But there is no digital display in
analog electronics based transfer switches. Digital
automatic transfer switches are most commonly used now
a days. Because it use liquid crystal digital display to show
values of current and voltage to user. It also shows the

WHAT IS AUTOMATIC TRANSFER SWITCHES? LikePage

As it name suggest, automatic transfer switch is used to Bethefirstofyourfriendstolikethis

transfer from one state to another. In electrical terms , it is
used to transfer load from one power source to another
power source. Although it have many applications, but in
this project, we are using automatic transfer switch to
transfer load between AC main power and generator in
case of failure of either power source. Automatic transfer RELATED POSTS

automatically in case of non availability of main power Automatic
source. it is also used to transfer load to generator after power factor
