    a controller including a key blot, a set sleeve, and a base box, wherein the key bolt is installed in the set sleeve to keep top of the key bolt flush with the set sleeve so as to allow insertion of a switching member, whereas the bottom end of the key bolt is extended to reach an opening of the set sleeve, the set sleeve is engaged to the bottom of the upper housing so as to cover the sleeve of the upper housing over the bottom surface thereof, thereby the key bolt and the set sleeve are tightly conjoined to expose an insertion hole as the set sleeve turns together with the key bolt;

    a cap nut having a controlling pillar formed around the middle section of the set sleeve, wherein the controlling pillar is extended downwards from the bottom of the cap nut and is turnable together with the insertion hole, the controlling pillar is further engaged to the base box having a change over switch equipped at the middle section thereof, and the change over switch is carried out by the controlling pillar,by settling the base box combined to the controller in the first accommodation space and covering the upper housing along with assembled key bolt and set sleeve on the first accommodation space so as to allow the controlling pillar capable to make switching of the change over switch through aligning the breach to the insertion hole;

    a plug with extension cord disposed in the first accommodation space at one side distantly apart from the second accommodation space with a live wire thereof connected to one of the terminals of the change over switch installed in the base box; and

    a plug and socket connector disposed between the first and the second accommodation spaces and connected to the other terminal of the change over switch so as to receive power from the plug with extension cord, and facing a source side socket thereof to the second accommodation space,by way of turning the key bolt with the switching member, the set sleeve, the controlling pillar and the cap nut are actuated to turn in order and determined whether the enclosure is removed or not, and the plug and socket connector is to be energized or not thereby performing a multi-stage controlling mode.
