ANALYSIS OF AN ADVANCED AUTOMATIC MAINS FAILURE PANEL WITH DIESEL GENERATOR CONTROL, FAULT DETECTION AND WI-FI

This paper focuses on the development of an advanced Auto Mains Failure (AMF) panel meant for day to day electrical applications. An AMF panel is unavoidable in areas where a generator is compulsory, like industries, hospitals, educational institutions etc. . It ensures consistent power supply to the load and acts as the switching mechanism between the generator,load and the main power supply. A detailed study about the drawbacks of the present day AMF panel is carried out and a new idea for an advanced AMF panel is put forward. An AMF panel,which can be controlled from a distance using Wi-Fi is presented here. The proposed system displays the diesel generator parameters and indicates the type of fault in the supply mains and saves energy.
