This is a DMCI condo, I hope it stays the same in the future. Laking ginhawa in times of crisis.
In my place there's this double pole double throw switch behind the cupboard to switch in the generator supply. What i did because its toomuch hassle to remove the cupboard, i wired a 1min timer then 2parallel 30A AC relay, instant ATS ako. I did this because may aquarium ako dati, naka UPS naman ang life support pero 40mins lang cutout na.. So now everytime na bumabagyo, i just watch people drenched in water and flood, no electricity, while i watch movies in cold aircon room..
