How to Switch from Mains to Generator Automatically: The Role of ACCL in Reliable Power Backup

In regions like Sharjah, Abu Dhabi, and across the UAE, uninterrupted power is crucial for both homes and industries. Sudden outages can disrupt operations, damage equipment, and cause inconvenience. This is where Automatic Changeover with Current Limiter (ACCL) systems come into play, ensuring a seamless switch from mains supply to a generator without manual intervention.

As a trusted electrical solutions provider, KB Enterprises offers high-quality automatic changeover switches and ACCL systems that make your backup power smart, safe, and efficient.

How to Switch from Mains to Generator Automatically

An Automatic Changeover Switch (ACOS) or ACCL detects a mains power failure and instantly transfers the load to the generator. Once mains power is restored, it automatically switches back, no need for manual operation.

  • Step 1: A Power outage occurs, and ACCL senses the drop.
  • Step 2: The Load is shifted to the generator automatically.
  • Step 3: Mains supply returns, ACCL shifts load back.

Preventing Generator Overloading

One of the biggest challenges in backup systems is overloading the generator. An ACCL helps by:

  • Limiting the current draw from the generator.
  • Preventing excess appliances from overloading the system.
  • Ensuring longer generator life and better fuel efficiency.

    Automatic Power Backup Solution

    Unlike traditional manual changeovers, an automatic backup solution ensures:

    • Zero downtime during power failure.

    • Uninterrupted operation for critical equipment.
    • Safe power switching without electrical hazards.

    Best Automatic Changeover Switch

    When choosing an automatic changeover switch, consider:

    • Load capacity matches your generator.

    • Built-in current limiting features (ACCL).

    • Reliable brand and proven performance.

    KB Enterprises supplies robust, high-quality changeover switches ideal for UAE climate conditions and electrical standards.

    Wiring a Changeover Switch

    Proper wiring is key for safety and performance:

    • Ensure installation by a qualified electrician.

    • Use correct cable sizes as per load requirements.

    • Maintain proper earthing and safety connections.

    Why Use ACCL?

    The Automatic Changeover with Current Limiter (ACCL) is more advanced than a regular changeover switch because:

    • It limits the current to prevent generator overload.

    • Automatically switches between mains and generator.

    • Protects electrical systems from sudden surges.

    Benefits of ACCL

    • Protection for both the generator and connected devices.

    • Energy efficiency with controlled load management.

    • Automation reduces manual intervention.

    • Safety compliance for the UAE’s electrical regulations.
