AMF panel is Autamatic Mains Fail panel.
It is not just an electrical panel.A suitably sized gen set is connected to it.The AMF panel has a sensing circuit which can detect a power failure.Now the moment the panel detects a power failure the genset is started automatically. Automatic change over isolators are connected, where the power supply from the mains is changed over to that of the genset.The genset will run and provide the power supply until mains power is available again.The sensing circuit in the AMF panel will detect this and after an adjustable time the automatic changeover isolators will revert back to the mains supply.After a while the genset will switch off on its own.
The AMF panel is connected with certain protections electrically for the genset. It is suppose to operate on its own.The AMF panel is usually connected to important services like security, hospitals and important businesses.
The AMF panel must be tested regularly to ensure it is in working order when the mains fail Otherwise all the money invested in the AMF panel is wasted

We have drive feeding an output contactor for a 5000 hp motor @ 5kV application. The motor FLA is 629amps x 1.25% service factor = 786.25 amps The cable that we current have in place between the drive and the output contactor is 350kcmil- MV-105 (parallel cables). Per the NEC table 310.60 (C) (69). This show the cable ampacity is at 615 amps per cable for a rating of 1230 amps. We have derated the cable for the cable tray and the multiple cables application and our calculations show that after the correction factor factor we are at 922amps. 1230 amps x .75% correction factor factor = 922.5 amps. The customer is driving us to then use another safety factor of .25% off of the already derated cable. Can you please provide a longhand calculation for your solution on this application?
