Abstract
The auto load refers to the automated power management system employing diesel generator sets. The generators will be turned ON depending on the load it has to run during peak and off peak hours. These systems may be employed anywhere from residential building to malls. The system is controlled by microcontroller. The system also monitors current and temperature. The microcontroller takes in digital inputs from field instruments and provides various control signals as the output depending upon the logic that has been programmed into it. The generators are operated in alternate fashion. Additionally a temperature sensor is provided that helps the transformer to shut down when it exceeds the temperature limit and there by protects the transformer.
