WORKING OF THE PANEL:

a. Auto Mode:

When the Mains supply fails, the “Mains Supply Failure Monitor” operates

after a preset time of approx. 10 secs. This actuates the “3 impulse Engine

Start” control.

We do not recommend plug type relays. The Control Unit gives three

starting impulses with an interval of 1-5 secs. If the Engine starts at the first impulse, the unit shuts off. If not, it gives further two impulses, during

which time, if the engine does not start, the unit shuts off, activating the

audio-visual alarm for “Set

fails to Start”.

On starting of the engine, the alternator switchgear closes automatically

after the preset time of 1-10 secs.

When the Mains Supply is restored, the “Restoration Timer” operates, and

after the preset time of 10 secs., the load is automatically transferred to the

Mains, and the Generator shuts down.

b. Test Mode:

By operating the “AMF Test” Push Button, the conditions of Mains

Failure are stimulated as explained in Auto Model above without disturbing

the supply through Mains Switchgear.

c. Manual Mode:

The DG Set operates as a standard manual operated set, and all its

functions are carried out manually by means of “ Engine Start / Stop” and

“Alternator Contractor ON / OFF” Push Buttons.

width of trench shall be increased such that the inter-axial spacing between the cables,

except were otherwise specified shall be at least 200 mm.

There shall be a clearance of at least 150 mm between axis of the end cables and the

sides of the trench.

Where gradients and changes in depth are unavoidable, these shall be gradual.

The bottom of the trench shall be level and free from stone, brick bats etc. The trench

shall then be provided with a layer of clean, dry sand cushion of not less than 75mm. The LT

overall diameter.

5 Separation

Cables of different voltages and also power and control cables should be kept in

different trenches of racks with adequate separation. Where available space is

restricted, LV/MV cable shall be laid above HV cables.

level than the cable of lower voltage.

Power and communication cables shall as far as possible co\ross at right angles. Where power cables are laid in proximity to communication cables the horizontal and vertical

clearances shall not normally be less than 300 mm.
