Automatic Mains Failure Panels
Automatic Mains Failure Panels are electrical
source changeover devices usually for
maintaining the essential services to a building or
site where the continuity of supply is paramount.
Buildings such as hospitals and computer
centres are usually fitted with a standby
generator which will take over the electrical
supply if the electricity boards mains fails.
These amf panels monitor the loads via a three
phase electronic measuring device and when the
supply falls 'out of limits' the standby generator
is given a signal to start. Once the Generator is
running its output is monitored to ensure it is ready to accept load and
then the building is changed over to the standby supply.
If and when the mains returns it is then automatically reinstated and the
standby generator is shutdown, ready for its next call to duty.
