Automated Generator Turning On System Using PIC Microcontroller

Abstract

In recent days, Iraq has witnessed a general failure in national electricity system. There is a great need for electricity a generators. The process of turning generator on and off is done manually. In order to automate this process there are a lot of circuits for doing these operation, but it is highly costly and of a complicated structure. Our attention is devoted trying to building such circuits to overcome the limitation that occurs with these circuits by using microcontroller. The microcontroller plays a key role in varying electronic applications, it characterize by low cost, simplicity, and efficient. The paper presents simple system for turning generator on using the well known and available PIC microcontroller
