AMF Panel: Seamless Power Continuity for Critical Operations

Overview

In today's interconnected world, an uninterrupted power supply isn't just a convenience – it's a necessity. Power outages, even momentary ones, can lead to significant financial losses, data corruption, operational downtime, and compromised safety.

The AMF (Automatic Mains Failure) Panel is a sophisticated electrical control system designed to automatically switch a load to a standby generator upon detecting a failure in the main power supply (mains). It then automatically transfers the load back to the mains when power is restored and shuts down the generator, ensuring seamless power continuity without any manual intervention.

Our AMF Panels are engineered for reliability, safety, and optimal performance, providing robust protection and intelligent control for both your mains supply and your critical backup generator system.

Key Features

• Automatic Mains Failure Detection: Instantly senses loss of one or more phases in the utility power supply.
• Automatic Generator Start/Stop: Automatically initiates the generator start sequence upon mains failure and commands a safe shutdown after mains restoration (with configurable cool-down period).
• Automatic Load Transfer: Seamlessly switches the electrical load from mains to generator power and back, using robust motorized changeover switches (ATS, ACB, or MCCB).
• Advanced Microprocessor-Based Controller: Features a smart, programmable logic controller for precise monitoring, control, and fault diagnostics.
• User-Friendly HMI (Human-Machine Interface): Intuitive LCD or graphic display for real-time status indication, parameter viewing, fault logging, and system configuration.
• Comprehensive Protection:
  • Generator Protection: Over/under voltage, over/under frequency, overcurrent, overload, short circuit, low oil pressure, high engine temperature, generator start/stop failures.
  • Mains Protection: Over/under voltage, over/under frequency, phase sequence error.
• Engine Monitoring: Monitors generator engine parameters such as battery voltage, engine speed (RPM), run hours, and fuel level.
• Built-in Timers: Configurable timers for crank attempt, crank rest, generator warm-up, cool-down, mains stabilization, and transfer delays.
• Fail-Safe Interlocking: Mechanical and electrical interlocking mechanisms ensure that mains and generator supplies are never connected simultaneously, preventing short circuits and damage.
• Remote Monitoring & Communication (Optional): Modbus RTU (RS485), Ethernet, or GSM/GPRS modules for remote supervision, control, and fault notifications.
• Robust Enclosure: IP-rated, dust and vermin-proof, powder-coated CRCA steel construction for indoor or outdoor installations, ensuring longevity and protection.
• Emergency Stop Button: For immediate manual shutdown of the generator and disconnection of loads.
• Manual Bypass Mode: Allows for manual operation and maintenance without disrupting power.

Benefits

• Uninterrupted Operations: Eliminates downtime caused by power outages, protecting productivity and revenue.
• Enhanced Safety: Prevents hazardous conditions by ensuring controlled power transfer and comprehensive protection of equipment and personnel.
• Operational Efficiency: Automates a critical process, reducing the need for human intervention and potential for error.
• Extended Equipment Lifespan: Protects valuable equipment from power fluctuations, surges, and improper generator startup/shutdown sequences.
• Cost Savings: Reduces operational costs by optimizing generator run time and preventing damage that requires costly repairs.
• Peace of Mind: Provides reliable backup power, ensuring business continuity and data integrity even during prolonged outages.
• Reduced Manual Intervention: Frees up personnel from manually starting generators and switching loads during emergencies.
