AC STEP DOWN:
The transformer devise is used to bring or step down the
incoming AC grid line voltage which is 220v AC down to 12v AC,
for the proper working functionality of the rest of other passive
components in the system
FILTER:
The filter circuit in this system, constitute of a simple
electrolytic capacitor, which is connected across the converted
DC voltage from the transformer.the filter network serve the
basic purpose to smooth out ripple that made their way out of
the DC output,and to ensure a constant dc voltage output, all
through the whole process of power supply.
REGULATOR:
The surge effect in most electronics is quite bad and destructive in
nature, and in this system, we would not like the same effects of surge
prevailing in the system, and in order to subdue these effects, we
integrate the use of voltage regulator to protect our system from any
sudden surge that might likely surface.
INDICATOR:
The indicator circuit,comprise of a LED and a limiting resistor
device connected in series across a voltage source.the indicator
system shows the particular power source of which the system
is running on, and it also indicate the phase in use momentarily.
SWITCHING:
The switching stage of the automatic change over system, is
achieved using a mechanical relay device switch,the diode in
these devises are basically used as a transient protector, and
further provide a bipolar connectivity for our DC power source
in order to drive the relay automatically.
The relay is activated once the grid line in active, and the signal
is received using the transformer which supplies it down to the
relays,but through the whole above listed process.
