Automatic Mains Failure Scheme (AMF)
This shall be effective in auto position of Auto / manual selector switch located in control panel. The generator set shall
normally be at rest. Upon failure of plant normal supply, an impulse shall be extended from purchaser’s equipment. Upon
receipt of this impulse, generator set shall be started automatically and voltage brought to rated speed and generator voltage
brought to rated value. All accessories required for starting and completion of various sequences of operation for the above
purpose shall be provided.
Immediately after the generator set reaches rated speed and rated voltage, voltage and frequency monitoring relays located in
control panel shall extend an impulse for closing generator breaker.
Manual start in service mode
This shall be effective in manual position of Auto / manual switch and service position of service / test selector switch located
in control panel. The scheme of operation shall be same as auto mode except that starting impulse shall be extended
manually through the push button either in local control panel or purchaser’s control panel.
Manual test mode
This shall be effective in test position of service / test selector switch. The scheme of operation shall be same as that if manual
start in service mode except that the closing impulse for generator breaker shall not be extended automatically.
Stop
Stopping of the generator set in all cases for a normal shut down shall only be done manually by means of push button in
either local control panel or purchaser’s remote panel.
Starting time
The total time from the receipt of the starting impulse for the generator set till set reaches rated speed and generator reaches
rated voltage shall not be more than 10 seconds. If this time is exceeded, and annunciation in the local control panel shall be
provided with a facility for repeat annunciation in purchaser’s panel.
INSPECTION & TESTING
Only type tested equipment shall be offered. Type test certificates conducted earlier on each equipment shall be furnished to
the Purchaser for his review/approval if so desired. Otherwise, the equipment shall have to be type tested, free of charge to
prove the design

The tests shall be conducted as per IS/BS. Detailed test procedures alongwith the facilities available at vendors works shall be
furnished during detail engineering. The contractor shall give atleast fifteen (15) days advance notice for witnessing the final
testing. Test certificates including test records and performance curves etc. shall befurnished by the vendor in required
