OVERVIEW
An Automatic Phase Selector is an electrical device used to automatically switch between different available power phases in a three-phase system. It ensures that a load (such as a house, office, or equipment) receives power from the best available phase in the event of a phase failure or voltage imbalance.
HOW IT WORKS
📌The APS is connected to all three phases (L1, L2, L3) and continuously monitors their voltage levels.
When the primary phase (e.g., L1) is within the safe voltage range, the APS connects the load to it.
If the voltage in L1 drops below a set threshold or fails, the APS automatically switches to the next best available phase (L2 or L3).
📌If all three phases fail, the system remains off until one of the phases is restored.
📌Some advanced models also include manual override switches for user control.
