G'day All, About 50% of blackouts in my area are limited to one phase. So I've distributed the phases so we have minimal lighting/power on any phase. I would like to implement phase switching to follow the live phases and a small generator if they all go. Has anyone done or thought about this? I could do it manually (cheaply) with a couple of cam switches, but hey let's blow the budget ;-) An UPS for the cBus power supply should keep the smarts alive. Three 12V transformers connected to relays would tell me which phases are alive. Then a few PLC's to do the phase switching or start the generator and cBus can implement restricted lighting/power. OK, I'm no expert and I've probably got most of it wrong that's why I'm posting the idea here. Please enlighten me :-) Thanks in anticipation, build
