An Automatic Mains Failure (AMF) panel, also known as
an Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) panel, is a critical component
in electrical systems. Here are the key details:
·
Function:
- AMF
panels ensure a seamless transition from the main power supply to
emergency standby generators during significant mains power loss or total
blackouts.
- Without
AMF panels, manual generator operation could lead to data loss, equipment
damage, and disruptions.
·
How They Work:
- Power
Switching: AMF
panels monitor the incoming AC mains supply.
- When
mains power fails, they activate the standby generator and
automatically transfer the building’s load from mains to the generator.
- Upon
mains supply restoration, the AMF panel switches back to mains power and
shuts down the generator after a suitable cooling run.
