Abstract
A system and method for providing an alternate AC voltage to an electrical load having a main AC voltage. The system and method include a signal generator for generating a main AC voltage signal representing the value of the main AC voltage, and a processor for processing the main AC voltage signal to determine a status of the main AC voltage, a main AC voltage failure time period, and a main AC voltage restoration time period. The system and method also include a control signal generator for generating a control signal in response to the main AC voltage signal, the main AC voltage failure time period, the main AC voltage restoration time period, and a pre-selected delay time period, and a switch for switching the electrical load between the main AC voltage and the alternate AC voltage in response to the control signal.
