Design Of Backup Power Source Using Genset At Bogor Academy Of Technology

Abstract

The Design of Backup Power Sources Using Generators with a capacity of 3500 VA is operated as a backup of electrical energy in emergency conditions. The use of generators anticipates if there is a blackout of the main power supply (PLN). For electrical energy needs, a backup supply of electricity is needed in these conditions. The purpose of the study was to determine the design of a backup power source using a generator at the Bogor Academy of Technology. This design includes making circuit design drawings, determining and procuring components, installing and assembling processes, until the last stage is testing the function of the tool. The results of this study indicate that the design of the panel device made can operate properly and is in accordance with the plan. The results of testing the function of the panel device by manually operating and being able to divert electrical power from the main power source (PLN) to the generator within 5 seconds or according to the timer settings.
