Abstract

Despite several attempts made by the government to stabilise electricity in Nigeria, most homes in Nigeria either provide their electricity through a small generating set or solar power system but these solutions can only power few appliances excluding electric iron, cooker, roasters in most cases. This paper presents an innovative and home-grown product for harnessing the most out of the power generated through the design and construction of a modified AC power supply (MPS) unit for different electrical heating appliances such as Iron, Cooker and Roasters. The modified power supply unit would either be powered by 500W/24V solar panel, a 20A charge controller, 24V/200AH batteries and a 2.5KVA inverter or a 750VA-2.5KVA generator. The result reveals that the device provided a 50% reduction of rated power of any heating appliance connected to it. The device will provide a full power AC or a half power Modified AC to any load connected via a simple switch selector, making it possible to use a 2200W electric oven, cooker or iron at half power modified AC and full power AC. The result obtained shows that this device can be deployed at homes, offices, indoor and outdoor events.
