PRIME POWER OR AUTOMATIC
MAINS FAILURE (AMF) FUNCTION

When the 6000 Series Panel is configured as

a 6200 Control System, it can control up to
8 generating sets operating in parallel on a
common bus. The controllers communicate via
the RS485 interface and automatically share the
active (kW) and reactive (kVAr) load components
proportionally. Automatic load sequencing is
also performed even if the sets are of different
sizes. The load is shared between the generating
sets in proportion to their output capability.
In prime power mode the operator selects AUTO
on all sets. They start if required and sequence in
Control panel featured may include optional accessories and out as required by the available load.
When operating in AMF mode the controller
waits for a remote start signal to indicate
the mains have failed. After a time delay the
Automatic Circuit generating sets are started and when the first
Breaker No.1 set closes its circuit breaker the Generator Load
Transfer Contactor closes. The remaining sets
