Automated Vacuum Switch

thingiverse

Automated vacuum cleaner is device which automatically turns on the cleaner when you turn on e.g. power drill, angle grinder, saw etc. AVC has two power outlets and one plug. After connecting Controlled device e.g. Vacuum cleaner into outlet further away from cable and Controlling device e.g. power drill into outlet closer to the cable, connect power cord to the mains power supply. By turning on electronic device, microcontroller inside the box reads the current rise and thus turns on the relay which is connected to the power outlet. You can find automated switches inside pro vacuum cleaners but I wanted to create my own with adding more features in future and use it to switch not only cleaning devices but also other devices in many various applications.
