Please note that the generator panel is also called the ATS (automatic transfer switch) panel. The use of the ATS panel is to move electric power automatically from the source, namely PLN to the generator, this transfer occurs when the electricity goes out. The reverse transfer is also carried out when the electricity has returned to normal, so the electric power is distributed from the generator to the PLN again. Various types of panels below,
- The ATS (Automatic Transfer Switch) panel is an electrical circuit that functions as a switch that operates automatically when there is a planned outage or sudden outage. Explanation of this generator panel has been explained in the initial discussion above.
- The AMF panel, which stands for Automatic Main Failure, is a panel that works automatically to turn off and turn on the generator generator automatically without the intervention of other businesses, alias automatically. The way it works is quite the same as the ATS panel, that is, the panel automatically turns on the generator when the power goes out and if the electricity is running normally, the panel will automatically turn off the generator set or generator.
- The synchronous panel functions to synchronize the work of two or more generators. The synchronization generator panel will usually be used if the load varies quite a lot and the generator is used non-stop. If the load varies large enough to be continuously used, it will definitely be wasteful in using one generator. When the load is overloaded when you have two generator units, the load will be shared between the two generators that are running.
- The PKG panel functions almost the same as the AC and DC generator panels. The difference is that the PKG panel is separated from the generator unit while the DC and AC panels are attached to the generator unit. Regarding its function it is almost the same, namely, operating a generator which includes starting, running, stopping, stopping during an emergency, and is equipped with good protection and monitoring, protection and monitoring of diesel engines and alternators (generators).
The way to choose a good generator is to pay attention to electricity needs by calculating the number of watts needed as well as the kWh of electricity consumed. Choose a generator that uses a power output that is greater than the amount of electrical power consumption required by electronic devices. Next, choose a generator with fuel that is easy to find, usually there are generators that are fueled with mixed gasoline (Mixed Gasoline) and those that are fueled with diesel fuel. Also choose a generator that is easy to operate so that when operating it is easy. Then next choose a generator that has soundproof specifications, usually generators that don’t have this capability have a noisy sound and can disturb other people. You can also, when buying, consult with an expert first so you don’t just choose a generator, which in the end regrets having already bought it. Finally, choose a generator brand according to the specifications and advantages that suit your needs.
In general, the generator panel can be selected according to user needs, this panel is useful for further reducing the use of the generator load. For its use, each panel has advantages to be more effective and efficient so that it is more automatic when the power goes out, the generator set can turn on and when the power is on, the generator is also automatically turned off by the panel.
