AMF Panel (Automatic Mains Failure Panel): Seamless Power Transition for Uninterrupted Operations
In today's interconnected world, an uninterrupted power supply is not a luxury, but a necessity for critical operations. Our AMF Panel (Automatic Mains Failure Panel) is engineered to provide a robust, reliable, and intelligent solution for automatically switching your critical loads between the mains power supply and a standby generator during power outages.
Designed with precision and built for resilience, our AMF Panels ensure your business continuity, protect vital equipment, and eliminate the need for manual intervention during power fluctuations or failures.
✨ Key Features & Capabilities
Our AMF Panels come equipped with a suite of advanced features to guarantee superior performance and reliability:
Intelligent Microprocessor Controller: At the heart of the system, a sophisticated controller continuously monitors mains power (voltage, frequency, phase sequence).
Automated Mains Failure Detection: Instantly detects disturbances or complete failure of the utility power supply.
Automatic Generator Start/Stop: Upon mains failure, the panel automatically sends a start command to the standby generator. Once mains power is restored, it initiates a cool-down cycle before safely shutting down the generator.
Automatic Load Transfer: Seamlessly transfers the load to the generator once it reaches stable voltage and frequency, and then back to mains when power is restored and stable.
Comprehensive Protection Features:
Overload and Short-Circuit Protection
Under/Over Voltage and Frequency Protection
Phase Sequence and Phase Loss Protection
Earth Fault/Leakage Protection
Generator Protection (e.g., over-crank, low oil pressure, high engine temperature)
Prevention of Back-feeding to the Grid for enhanced safety.
User-Friendly Interface: Intuitive LCD/HMI display for real-time status monitoring, event logging, and easy parameter configuration.
Manual Override & Bypass Options: For maintenance or emergency situations, allowing manual control of generator operation and load transfer.
Event Logging & Diagnostics: Records operational events, alarms, and faults with time stamps for easy troubleshooting and maintenance.
Customizable Settings: Adjustable timers for start delays, transfer delays, cool-down periods, and more, to suit specific operational requirements.
Robust Enclosure: IP-rated industrial-grade enclosure for protection against dust, moisture, and environmental elements, ensuring longevity.
Metering & Monitoring: Integrated voltmeters, ammeters, frequency meters, and power factor meters for both mains and generator supplies.
Battery Charger: Integrated or external battery charger for the generator's starter battery, ensuring it's always ready.
Remote Monitoring (Optional): SCADA, Modbus, or Ethernet connectivity for remote monitoring and control capabilities.
🎯 Benefits of Our AMF Panels
Investing in our AMF Panel offers a multitude of advantages for any critical application:
Ensured Business Continuity: Eliminates downtime caused by power outages, keeping your operations running smoothly and preventing financial losses.
Enhanced Equipment Protection: Safeguards sensitive electronics and machinery from power surges, fluctuations, and incorrect voltage/frequency, extending their lifespan.
Reduced Operational Costs: Optimizes generator run time by engaging it only when necessary and for the required duration, saving on fuel and maintenance.
Increased Safety: Automates complex power transfers, minimizing human error and reducing the risk of electrical hazards.
Peace of Mind: Provides a reliable, hands-free solution for power management, allowing you to focus on your core business.
Scalability & Adaptability: Available in various capacities and configurations to perfectly match your power requirements and future growth.
Compliance & Reliability: Built to stringent industry standards, ensuring consistent performance and adherence to safety regulations.
⚙️ How It Works (Simplified Process)
Mains Monitoring: The AMF controller constantly monitors the incoming mains (utility) power supply.
Failure Detection: If the mains power fails or deviates from acceptable parameters (e.g., undervoltage, phase loss), the controller detects the fault.
Generator Start: After a pre-set delay (to confirm mains failure isn't temporary), the AMF panel sends a start command to the standby generator.
Generator Stabilization: The generator starts and runs up to its stable operating voltage and frequency.
Load Transfer: Once the generator is stable, the AMF panel automatically switches the load from the failed mains supply to the generator supply.
Mains Restoration: When the mains power returns and stabilizes, the AMF panel detects its availability.
Reverse Load Transfer: After another pre-set delay, the load is automatically transferred back from the generator to the mains supply.
Generator Shutdown: The generator enters a cool-down period before being safely shut down, ready for its next activation.
🏢 Ideal Applications
Our AMF Panels are essential for any facility where continuous power is critical:
Hospitals & Healthcare Facilities: Ensuring life support systems, operating theaters, and critical medical equipment remain operational.
Data Centers & IT Infrastructure: Protecting servers, networks, and vital information from data loss and system crashes.
Manufacturing & Industrial Plants: Preventing production halts, equipment damage, and costly downtime.
