1P-3P Explained
What’s the difference between a single-phase ( Residential ) or three-phase ( Industrial ) electricity supply?
Both of these are electricity supplies from your current supplier, it’s the amount of power that is different. A single-phase supply is smaller than a three-phase supply meaning you cannot use as much power. A typical house will need a single-phase supply whilst a larger house, flats or commercial building will need a three-phase supply.
The way to tell what supply a property has is by looking at the fuse on the service head.
Single-phase has one 100amp fuse this will give you 240v, Fuse to Neutral
A three phase supply, has three 100amp fuses ( This can be larger depending on your demand ) Where a 3 Fuse system will give you 240v for each fuse to neutral but 415v fuse to fuse..

Hi Mark, Very pleased with the panel you built up for us and the way that is was packed, excellent and you understand the issues of couriers and how the contactors etc could be flung off etc. Well done.
Thanks for the response, in fact it is now working perfectly, the generator required to be in OFF mode to shut down from the ATS control. Fantastic product, thank you. Patrick

AMF
Automatic Mains Failure, Generator Control Panel
The AMF Generator control panel is used where the mains supply is backed up by a rated sized generating set. The AMF panel monitors the mains supply and if this should fail, or fall outside the preset limits ( this can be configured via a laptop). The AMF panel will control the pre-heating, fuel solenoid and starting of the generator.
The AMF panel will then control the switching of the load from the mains supply to the generator, whilst the generator is running the AMF panel will monitor vital engine and alternator parameters safely stopping the generator should a fault condition occur.
Standard Generator Protection.
- Engine Temperature
- Oil Pressure
- Over / Under Voltage.
- Over / Under Speed.
Additional Generator Protection.
- Low Coolant Level Shutdown
- Low Fuel Level Shutdown
- Audible Alarm indication ( Siren )
- Visual Alarm indication ( Bacon )
On return of the local supply the AMF panel will monitor the Supply to ensure it is stable, then transfer the load from the generator back to the mains supply.
The AMF panel will run the generator on for a pre-determined time to allow for any cool down periods required for the generating set.
Once this time has elapsed the AMF panel will control the stopping of the generator.
The engine control module requires a Dc supply to function. This can be fed from the generator starting battery - alternative dc power supplies available
Please specify (12Vdc or 24Vdc ) voltage when inquiring.
If there is any other bespoke requirements that you require please just call one of our friendly staff.
