In this paper, we will provide an automatic fuel filling mechanism of large generator and that of
transfer the consumer loads to a power source from a generator in the case of power failure in
the mains supply. The design is applicable for industries, institutions, hospitals and other plants.
Programmable logic control is used in this design. It used to control the whole activities. There are two
level sensors in the design they used to sense the level of fuel tank and send a signal to the plc
according to the level of the tank. Pump motor also used in the design used to pump the fuel from
main tank to the daily (generator tank). Solenoid valve used to close or open the inlet pumping fuel
according to decision from plc. And also automatically detects power has been restored to the mains
supply and returns the loads to this source while turning off the power from the generator set. It thus
holds an important key in the provision of a continuous power supply through a near seamless
switching between the mains supply and an alternative standby source like the generator set.
