Hello all

I have a three phase connected to manual phase changeover wanted to know is there any product or what it;s known that can select automatically based on available Mains from other other two rather then manually selecting making the entire thing much simpler for me..thanks

What is the present nature of the manual change over?
If the back up phases are always live, a heavy duty contactor system maybe employed.

Can't quite tell what you have. Knowing where you are (Power delivered) might help a little.

It sounds like your selecting single phase output from a three phase supply?

So, voltage, frequency, current, Y or delta might help.

Here is a very simple circuit that will do what you want using 3 relays.

If L1 is live relay L1 will select L1, if L1 drops out then L2 will be selected by relay L1 and L2, if both L1 and L2 drop out then the relays will select L3.

You could omit the L3 relay and connect the normally closed contact of L2 to L3 if you don’t mind the system switching over phases on first switch on.

I stay in India have a 220 V 3 phase line we have a a manual selection dial and distributed 3 phases in entire home, when electricity goes that particular indicator will be off we will switch to any other active phase and electricity is back
