Abstract

An electrical power source is a necessity in human daily life. Due to this, many things can be done with the source of electrical power, and will cause problems if there is no source of electricity. Actually, much electricity has been wasted and causes the hike in electricity bills. Much can be also saved if the right techniques and methods to reduce the wastage or saving electricity are applied. Hence, this proposal discusses the idea to develop an auto triggered current cut-off system for energy saving device which currently is not present in an ordinary energy saving device. Statistically the ordinary energy saving device can save electricity up to 10% - 20% only during peak hours or when electrical equipment utilization rate is high or maximized. Apart from that, it also depends on the equipment and utilization of the equipment. If there is minimal electricity utilization, energy saving devices will operate as common electrical appliances. This will cause of increment in the cost of utility bills as compared to the rate of the maximum electrical appliances. This is caused due to the device starts to absorb the electrical energy. Therefore, to reduce the increment of the absorbed cost utility by the energy saving device, it should always ON when maximum load is utilizing the electricity and OFF state when minimal load is in use or no load is not in use. Thus, the idea of this invention is to automatically switch ON and OFF the electricity energy saving device based on the actual present conditions of the connected loads. Hence, indirectly if will help the consumers to reduce their utility bills when this device is plugged to perform electricity energy saving.
