AMF Panels: Uninterrupted Power, Unrivaled Reliability

In today's interconnected world, reliable power is not just a convenience – it's a necessity. Introducing our advanced Automatic Mains Failure (AMF) Panels, the intelligent heart of any critical power system designed to ensure seamless power transition and uninterrupted operation.

Our AMF Panels provide comprehensive monitoring and control for both grid power and your backup generator, automating the critical switch-over process the moment a mains power failure is detected. Protect your operations, prevent costly downtime, and ensure continuous productivity with our robust and intelligent AMF solutions.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Fully Automatic Operation:
  • Mains Failure Detection: Continuously monitors incoming utility power for voltage and frequency deviations, instantly detecting power outages.
  • Automatic Generator Start: Upon detection of a mains failure, the panel automatically sends a start command to your backup generator after a configurable delay.
  • Seamless Load Transfer: Once the generator reaches stable operating parameters (voltage and frequency), the integrated Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) seamlessly transfers the load from the utility to the generator.
  • Mains Restoration & Transfer Back: When utility power returns and stabilizes, the ATS transfers the load back to the mains, followed by a generator cooldown period before automatic shutdown.
• Advanced Microprocessor Control:
  • Equipped with state-of-the-art programmable logic controllers (PLCs) or dedicated AMF controllers for highly accurate, reliable, and swift decision-making.
  • Ensures precise timing for all operations, minimizing power interruption.
• Comprehensive Monitoring Capabilities:
  • Mains Power: Real-time monitoring of voltage (phase-to-phase, phase-to-neutral), current, frequency, power factor, and phase sequence.
  • Generator Parameters: Extensive monitoring including generator voltage, current, frequency, active power (kW), apparent power (kVA), reactive power (kVAr), engine speed (RPM), oil pressure, coolant temperature, fuel level, battery voltage, and run hours.
• Multi-Function Protection:
  • Mains Protection: Over/under voltage, over/under frequency, phase sequence error.
  • Generator Protection: Overload, short circuit, over/under voltage, over/under frequency, high engine temperature, low oil pressure, overcrank, underspeed/overspeed, emergency stop, battery low/high voltage.
  • Ensures the safety and longevity of both your power infrastructure and critical equipment.
• Integrated Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS):
  • Robust contactors or circuit breakers designed for high current ratings, providing reliable and safe switching between mains and generator power.
  • Mechanically and electrically interlocked to prevent simultaneous connection of utility and generator power, eliminating the risk of back-feeding.
• User-Friendly Interface:
  • Intuitive LCD display with backlighting for clear visibility of system status, alarms, and parameters.
  • LED indicators for power availability (mains/generator) and operational status.
  • Tactile push-buttons for manual control, parameter adjustment, and alarm acknowledgment.
• Event Logging & Diagnostics:
  • Stores detailed logs of events, alarms, and operational history, facilitating troubleshooting, maintenance planning, and performance analysis.
  • Helps identify recurring issues and optimize system settings.
• Connectivity & Remote Monitoring (Optional):
  • Modbus RTU/TCP: Allows integration with Building Management Systems (BMS), SCADA systems, or other remote monitoring platforms via RS485 or Ethernet.
  • Cloud Connectivity: Option for remote monitoring and control via web or mobile applications, providing real-time data and alerts anywhere, anytime.
• Configurable Settings:
  • Adjustable start/stop delays, cooldown periods, engine cranking attempts, and protection thresholds to suit specific generator types and site requirements.
  • Multiple test modes (manual, auto, periodic) for routine system checks.
• Robust & Safe Construction:
  • Enclosure: Housed in durable, industrial-grade sheet steel enclosures, powder-coated for corrosion resistance.
  • Protection Class: Available in various IP ratings (e.g., IP54, IP65) suitable for indoor or outdoor installations, protecting against dust and water ingress.
  • Component Quality: Utilizes high-quality, reputable electrical components (e.g., circuit breakers, contactors, relays) from trusted manufacturers.
  • Safety Standards: Designed and manufactured in compliance with relevant international and national safety standards (e.g., IEC 61439-1/2, CE).

How It Works (Simplified):

1. Mains Monitoring: The AMF panel continuously monitors the incoming utility power supply for stable voltage and frequency.
2. Failure Detection: If the mains power fails or deviates beyond acceptable limits for a set duration, the AMF controller detects the anomaly.
3. Generator Start: After a configurable delay (to confirm the outage isn't transient), the AMF panel sends a start signal to the backup generator.
4. Generator Stabilization: The generator starts and runs up to its rated speed and voltage. The AMF panel monitors these parameters until they stabilize.
5. Load Transfer: Once the generator is stable and ready, the integrated ATS switches the electrical load from the defunct mains supply to the generator.
6. Mains Restoration: When the utility power returns and stabilizes, the AMF panel initiates a transfer-back process.
7. Load Re-transfer: The ATS switches the load back to the mains supply.
8. Generator Cooldown & Shutdown: The generator runs for a set cooldown period (under no-load conditions) before automatically shutting down, ready for the next event.
