1.What is AMF Controller?
The AMF controller is a kind of module used in generator control panel when you have to control a generator that is connected in
standby configuration. It is about a system that is waiting for a failure of the utility power.
2.Why are AMF panel installed?
Automatic Mains Failure panels are installed as part of a automatic generator installation. The AMF is connected to the generator set to power control the operational functions. When the AMF panel detects that the mains
has failed or is outside of tolerance, it will send a start signal to the generator to fire up.
3.How does an AMF panel work during a power failure?
An AMF panel continuously monitors the utility power supply. When it senses a mains failure or voltage outside the acceptable range, it sends a signal to start the generator, transfers the load to generator power, and then shifts back to mains supply automatically once normal power returns.
4.What are the main components used in an AMF panel?
A typical AMF panel includes changeover breakers or contactors, an AMF controller, timers, relays, battery charger, metering devices, protection components, indication lamps, and manual override controls. These parts work together to automate generator starting, stopping, and load transfer safely.
5.Where are AMF panels commonly used?
AMF panels are widely used in hospitals, apartments, factories, IT facilities, commercial buildings, process plants, and infrastructure sites where uninterrupted power supply is important. They are especially useful wherever a standby diesel generator is installed as backup power.
6.Can AMF panels be customized for different generator capacities?
Yes. AMF panels can be customized based on generator rating, operating voltage, current capacity, protection needs, enclosure type, metering requirements, and site-specific control logic. This helps match the panel to the exact application and installation environment.
