AMF Panels: Seamless Power Transition for Uninterrupted Operations
Ensure the continuity of your operations with our advanced Automatic Mains Failure (AMF) Panels. Designed to automatically detect power outages, start your backup generator, and seamlessly transfer critical loads, our AMF panels eliminate downtime and safeguard your vital systems from grid fluctuations.
What is an AMF Panel?
An Automatic Mains Failure (AMF) panel, also known as an Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) panel, is a sophisticated control system that monitors the incoming mains power supply. In the event of a power failure, brownout, or phase loss, the AMF panel automatically initiates the startup sequence for a standby generator, transfers the load from the unreliable mains to the generator, and then reverses the process when mains power is restored, all without manual intervention.
Key Features & Benefits:
1. Fully Automatic Operation:
Intelligent Mains Monitoring: Continuously monitors all phases of the mains supply for voltage, frequency, and phase sequence anomalies.
Automatic Generator Start/Stop: Upon mains failure, the panel sends a start command to the generator, and upon mains restoration, it signals the generator to cool down and shut off.
Seamless Load Transfer: Utilizes high-speed contactors or circuit breakers (MCCBs/ACBs) for rapid and reliable transfer of load between mains and generator.
2. Advanced Control & Monitoring:
Microprocessor-Based Controller: Equipped with state-of-the-art programmable logic controllers (PLCs) or dedicated AMF controllers for precise control and reliability.
User-Friendly HMI/LCD Display: Provides real-time status updates, operational parameters (voltage, current, frequency, power factor, engine hours, fuel level), and alarm indications.
Configurable Parameters: Allows customization of generator start/stop delays, transfer delays, engine crank/rest cycles, and various protection thresholds.
Event Logging & Diagnostics: Stores historical data of power events, alarms, and operational parameters for easy troubleshooting and performance analysis.
Remote Monitoring & Control (Optional): Integration with BMS (Building Management Systems) or SCADA via Modbus RTU/TCP IP for off-site supervision and control.
3. Robust Construction & Safety:
High-Quality Enclosure: Fabricated from sturdy CRCA steel, powder-coated for corrosion resistance, and available with various IP ratings (IP4X, IP54, IP65) to suit indoor and outdoor installations.
Premium Components: Built with industrial-grade switchgear, contactors, circuit breakers, and wiring from reputable global manufacturers for long-term reliability.
Electrical Interlocking: Ensures that mains and generator supplies are never simultaneously connected, preventing dangerous back-feeding.
Comprehensive Protections:
Overcurrent & Short Circuit Protection
Over/Under Voltage & Frequency Protection
Phase Loss & Phase Sequence Protection
Generator Engine Protections (low oil pressure, high engine temperature, overspeed)
Battery Charger Fault Protection
Emergency Stop Button: For immediate manual shutdown of the system.
4. Customization & Scalability:
Wide Range of Capacities: Available for single-phase and three-phase systems, ranging from small commercial applications (e.g., 63A) to large industrial facilities (e.g., 6300A).
Switching Device Options: Configurable with Automatic Transfer Switches (ATS) using contactors, Motorized Changeover Switches (MCO), or Air Circuit Breakers (ACBs)/Moulded Case Circuit Breakers (MCCBs) based on current ratings and application requirements.
Generator Compatibility: Designed to seamlessly integrate with a wide array of generator brands and types.
Modular Design: Facilitates easy expansion and maintenance.
Ideal Applications:
Our AMF Panels are essential for any facility where consistent power is non-negotiable:
Hospitals & Healthcare Facilities: Ensuring life-saving equipment and critical systems remain operational.
Data Centers & IT Infrastructure: Preventing data loss and maintaining server uptime.
Manufacturing Plants: Avoiding production halts and equipment damage.
Commercial Buildings & Offices: Maintaining lighting, HVAC, and communication systems.
