When built as a project, it can be used in electricity distributing
connections for input and output devices. There are two inputs
which are the AC power line supply and the computer interface
connector (parallel port connector). The device also has six output
areas. The power supply in this case can come from a generating

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Apart from the 220v ac power supply going directly to the loads
via a relay, the entire circuit gets its power supply from a 12v DC
power pack. This pack gets input from the same AC source
