ATS-AMF (Automatic Transfer Switch & Automatic Mains Failure) and Generator Synchronous switchboards continuously monitor utility grid stability. Upon blackout detection, the system auto-cranks standby diesel generators, verifies voltage-frequency phase matching, and transfers emergency loads within seconds. In critical medical and hospitality environments, closed-transition bumpless synchronizing transfers power back to utility without interrupting operations.
Hospital Critical Power Reliability Standards
In medical operating theaters and intensive care units, power interruptions risk lives. Indonesian healthcare codes mandate emergency power systems start and accept critical hospital loads within 10 to 15 seconds.
BRT manufactures ATS-AMF switchboards utilizing advanced micro-controllers (Deep Sea Electronics, ComAp) monitoring three-phase utility parameters continuously.
Multi-Generator Synchronization & Dynamic Load Sharing
Operating multiple generators of varying capacities requires automated synchronizing controllers matching voltage, frequency, and phase angle before paralleling onto a common busbar.
Automated kW and kVAR load-sharing ensures optimal generator efficiency, starting additional sets automatically as factory demand escalates.
Fail-Safe Dual Mechanical & Electrical Interlocking
Back-feeding diesel power into a dead utility grid during blackout line repairs represents a lethal hazard. BRT switchboards feature fail-safe dual protection: rigid mechanical walking-beam linkages paired with hardwired auxiliary contact interlocks.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the standard changeover time for an ATS-AMF panel?
From total grid collapse to generator cranking, stabilization, and ATS breaker closing, standard transfer time ranges between 6 to 10 seconds.
What is closed-transition bumpless power transfer?
Closed transition parallels the returning utility grid with running generators for roughly 100 milliseconds before tripping the genset breaker, eliminating facility blackout flickers.
