AMF panels. Consequently, it requires the provision of 2nos Automatic mains
failure (AMF)

SUBSTATION 2, 7 AND 8
These Substations consist of unit A and unit B. The Substations are without any
diagrams// Information, will require control module information/diagram for trouble

SUBSTATION 5
The AMF panel is dilapidated leaving behind only the empty enclosure and flying
control cables. Presently a manual changeover is used. Required a new AMF panel.

SUBSTATION 6
Sub Station 6 consist of two sections, Busbar A and Busbar B with 1250A 50KA -
3pole motorized breaker and another with LC1 F6304 – 4p Contactor. These two
panels are operated manually by switching of the control miniature circuit breakers
(MCBs) and switches on respectively.
OBSERVATION: On visual inspection, It was observed that AMF panel cards are
burnt which are the central control unit for transfer operation. Also the left hand
side of the Utility 1250A 3p coupled motorized breaker is now manually toggled
operating system in the absence of motor operating mechanism.

The breaker ABB SACE S7S is an obsolete and is currently replaced with Tmax
T7 breakers. The present two breakers will be replaced and a control module
provided.

The contactor AMF panel will be modified with a new control system if the
contactor`s coils are functional. See pix 2 and 3
