AMF Panels (Auto-Main Failure Panels)
MOBY AMF (Auto-Main Failure) Panels guarantee uninterrupted power continuity for mission-critical facilities. When the utility grid experiences an outage, phase-imbalance, or voltage drop, the AMF panel instantly initiates diesel generator startup, performs synchronization, and seamlessly transfers critical electrical loads within seconds without requiring manual intervention.

Key Engineering & Operational Features
Why electrical consultants, industrial plants, and utility engineers specify MOBY AMF Panels (Auto-Main Failure Panels).
Zero Loss of Work & Production
Automatic sensing transfers the full plant load from mains to backup generator in seconds, eliminating costly machinery halts and process interruptions.
Dual Mechanical & Electrical Interlocking
Positive mechanical interlock links and electrical coil interlocks make it physically impossible for Mains and Generator sources to parallel, avoiding catastrophic backfeeding.
Built-In Intelligent Battery Charger
Constant-potential, current-limiting SMPS charger keeps the DG starting battery fully charged at all times, preventing start failures during winter or prolonged grid health.
Programmable Engine Cool-Down
When mains power is restored, the panel transfers load back to the grid but keeps the DG idling unloaded for 3 minutes to dissipate thermal stress before shutting down.
Multi-Mode Flexibility (Auto/Manual/Test)
Operators can initiate weekly off-load test runs, execute emergency manual changeovers via front handles, or leave the system in fully autonomous Auto mode.
Audio-Visual Fault Annunciation
Comprehensive LED mimic indicators and high-decibel hooter alert maintenance personnel to phase failures, trip events, or engine faults instantly.
