Standby (SPM, SSB)

We offer a range of Standby (SPM, SSB) solutions. These are also known as AMF (Automatic Mains Failure). A remote start (SPM; single prime mover) for a generator system requires a two wire start from ‘ANY’ instruction. This could be a remote transfer switch or even a level control system which starts the generator prior to the motor starting. This application is a common installation for simple control solutions for which we have developed standard designs using our ComAp Systems solutions.

We offer ‘Remote’ two wire start generator panels along with the associated ATS (Automatic Transfer Switches) in various formats.

Single Prime Mover (SPM)

  • For a gen-set installation which has the requirements of a single generator for constant running or standby remote start application.
  • This application is based on a single generator set with no mains requirements.
  • The generator system can be started from the fascia of the control panel solution by the operation keys, by a remote start signal from other equipment or a remote start push button.
  • The choice of controller is normally decided by the complexity of the installation, the number of binary and analogue signals required by the operator.

Application supported by

  • InteliLite NT MRS 10, 11, 15 & 16 controllers
  • InteliGen NT controller
  • InteliSys NT controller

Single StandBy (SSB) – AMF

Also known as AFM (Automatic Mains Failure). Our system is supplied complete with the ‘Sensing’ of a primary energy source - normally the electricity supply. This control solution requires only one system for the combined control and operation of the generator starting and protection with integral ATS controls. We supply it complete with all sensing, timers and breaker controls.

  • For a gen-set installation which has the requirements of a single generator for AUTOMATIC MAINS FAILURE.
  • This application is based on an installation that has two sources of power, in the event that the primary source fails (this could be mains or primary generator set) the secondary source of supply will be switched to the site load.
  • The generator control solution can be started manually from the fascia of the control panel, its normal mode of operation is AUTOMATIC.
  • The control solution monitors the primary power source and in the event of a failure or out of limits the primary source is switched from the load, the secondary source (gen-set) is started and switched to load automatically.
  • The control solution includes all phase sensing and timers to provide a fully automatic break transfer system
  • The choice of controller is normally decided by the complexity of the installation, the number of binary & analogue signals required by the operator

Application supported by

  • InteliLite NT AMF 20 & 25 controllers
  • InteliGen NT controller
  • InteliSys NT controller
