An Automatic Voltage Fluctuation Director (often linked to an Automatic Voltage Regulator or voltage‑monitoring system) is an electronic device that continuously senses variations in the AC mains voltage and automatically directs or corrects the output to a safe, stable level, protecting connected equipment from under‑voltage, over‑voltage, and frequent fluctuations. This paper wants to show the concept of a system that has been designed to automatically detect any voltage fluctuation (high or low) and/or power outage in the electrical network, thus allowing a continuous and more stable supply of electrical energy . The control module will provide a signal to the automatic transfer switch in the event of a power outage and/or voltage fluctuation (≥30 seconds), allowing the emergency generator to provide a constant flow of power to meet utility demand . Most commercially available automatic transfer switches are stand-alone units, with voltage monitoring systems purchased separately, whereas here in the engineered system both systems have been combined into a single, very economical control module . The concept designed were similar to those obtained in the simulations, the behavior of the system in the face of changes in the potential difference and electron flow was higher than expected, providing a constant output signal that controlled the devices connected to the system
