Electricity has long been one of the prime staples in this modern day.

Its benefits are

exceptional as it establishes a stable economy, protection, comfort, and productivity among the

populace. Not only that, almost all human inventions are electrically powered, and their reliable

supply can be an integral step towards technological advancement in this developing world.

However, even though different electrical distribution utility company try their best to

provide the demands of costumers on the best value in energy supply, power electrical system

components are still susceptible to failures which means that the consumers’ power supply might

get interrupted.

A power outage, as defined by electric distribution utility company Meralco is “is widely

known in the Philippines as ‘brownout’. It is caused by several factors such as maintenance

activities, emergency conditions and upgrade of equipment and facilities.” Brownout is caused

by the reduction of the voltage of electricity in an electrical component of a circuit that consumes

power especially when there is a high demand of consumers in a particular region. (Murphy,

2009).

For the past years, the researchers have experienced numerous amounts of brownout in

their region – be it planned or unplanned. It usually takes a day or two for the power supply to

come back. Moreover, there are also instances where the power supply goes on and off, which

affects the electrical-powered machines of the people. It has been a pressing problem among the

locals because not only their powered-system devices are put at risk, but their day-to-day works

are also disrupted.

 As a result of unexpected challenges and uncertainties in the electrical supply, it is only

imperative for the researchers to develop and use alternative forms of electrical devices that

would alleviate the occurring problems of the people regarding power outages.

With these in mind, the researchers ought to invent an improvised automatic 220V solar-

powered multiple electrical portable outlets device as an alternative solution. A variety of plug

points in the improvised device serve as a handy tool for people to use in 3-pronged and

medium-duty appliances that are commonly used and needed 24 hours a day, and 7 days a week.

Moreover, the solar panel increases electricity efficiency as it can be durable whenever

brownouts or emergencies occur.

ABSTRACT

Electricity is one of the most indispensable things in today’s developing world because

most inventions are powered by it. However, electrical services can also be flawed, and power

outages cannot be diminished.

The researchers have observed numerous situations of brownout in their region which

affects the daily lives of the researchers and the locals. Power supply usually goes on and off

often takes a day or two for the power to work normally again.

Therefore, the researchers plan to create an improvised automatic 220V solar-powered

multiple electrical portable outlets device as a solution to alleviate the problems of the populace

regarding brownout.
