AMF (Automatic Mains Failure) Panel: Seamless Power Continuity

Ensure Uninterrupted Power for Your Critical Operations

The AMF (Automatic Mains Failure) Panel is an indispensable component for any facility reliant on continuous power. Designed to automatically detect power outages from the main grid and seamlessly transfer the electrical load to a standby generator, our AMF Panels ensure your operations never experience downtime, safeguarding productivity, data integrity, and essential services.

What is an AMF Panel?

An AMF Panel is a control system that monitors the incoming mains (grid) power supply. In the event of a mains failure, the panel automatically initiates the starting sequence of a connected standby generator. Once the generator is stable and producing power, the AMF panel then automatically transfers the electrical load from the failed mains to the generator. When mains power is restored, the panel reverses the process, transferring the load back to the mains and shutting down the generator after a cool-down period.
