Design of an Automatic Transfer System with Secondary Generation from a PLC-Controlled Generator for New Meat Sausage Industries

This research paper focuses on the reality of Peru's new sausage meat industries. A disconnection of the main supply network causes losses and penalties for the industry. This is why it is necessary to have a secondary generation of backup electricity in the face of any untimely outage and to feed critical loads. And what better than an automated automatic transfer board using a PLC, which is activated immediately before any power outage of the main network. This research paper aimed to design an automatic transfer system with the secondary generation of a generator set, acquiring electrical parameters and calculating and selecting electrical, electronic and mechanical equipment. To design the multifilar scheme of the meat industry, using the EPLAN ELECTRIC P8 software, and finally, the virtual simulation of the said operation of the automated transfer system towards critical loads with SIEMENS LOGO software. It is concluded that, with the electrical design and simulation proposed in real-time, the reliability of operation of the critical loads is guaranteed, with the intervention of the automatic transfer with PLC and its operating efficiency before an untimely cut of electricity in the sausage meat company.
