In today’s fast-paced world, an uninterrupted power supply isn’t just a convenience—it’s a necessity. Whether you're managing a home, business, or agricultural operation, generators serve as a reliable backup during power outages. However, to truly maximize the efficiency and lifespan of your generator, automation is key. At Selfguard Automation and Controls, we specialize in innovative automation solutions that make power management smarter, safer, and more efficient.
Why Automate Your Generator System?
Manually operating generators may be time consuming, error-prone, and inefficient. Without automation, you may have difficulties like delayed power changes.
- Human mistakes in operation.
- Overloading and inefficient fuel use
- Unwanted wear and tear
With automation, your generator system becomes intelligent, responding promptly to power interruptions, regulating load, and seamlessly transitioning between mains and generator power sources. This not only provides convenience, but also helps to extend the life of your generator while optimising fuel use.
Smart Solutions from Selfguard
Selfguard's automated devices are intended to streamline generator usage in residential, commercial, and agricultural contexts. Here's how our solutions will help you get the most out of your generator.
1. Automatic Changeover Switches
One of the most difficult tasks during a power outage is moving from mains to generator supplies and back. Selfguard's Automatic Changeover Switch provide a smooth changeover with no operator intervention. These switches are intended to detect power outages and immediately start the generator. Once the mains supply is restored, they return to the primary power source, guaranteeing little disturbance and optimal fuel utilisation.
2. Generator Auto Start/Stop Units
Tired of having to manually start and stop your generator at strange hours? Our Auto Start/Stop Units will take care of it. These systems, which come with wired or wireless remotes, detect a voltage dip or total power outage and activate the generator automatically. When normal power is restored, the machine turns off the generator to save wasteful fuel use and mechanical strain.
3. Generator Control Panels
Selfguard's customised generator control panels provide advanced capabilities like load management, and timer-based operation. These panels are built with microcontroller technology to ensure accuracy and endurance. Whether it's a single-phase or three-phase generator, these panels provide superior control and greatly eliminate human error.
4. Single Phase Preventers
Generators are particularly susceptible to phase failures and imbalances. Our Single Phase Preventers keep your generator from operating in harmful situations. This not only eliminates damage, but also improves operating efficiency by ensuring that the generator only operates when circumstances are ideal.
