AUTOMATIC MAINS 

FAILURE UNIT 

WITH INTERNAL 

CHARGER 

 

 

DKG-225, is a low cost AMF controller for 12V-DC 
gensets, featuring an internal battery charger. Internal 
fuel and crank relays are rated at 40Amps@12V-DC 
and do not require external relays. 

Thus a typical transfer panel will simply consist on one 
DKG-225 and two contactors, reducing material cost, 
panel size and production time.  

The unit supports also current transformer connections 
allowing detailed power measurements from both mains 
and genset sides. The standard unit supports 1A and 
5A secondary CTs. A special version supports low cost 
and small 0.1A secondary CTs allowing more compact 
panel design. 

Thanks to the DKG-225, automatization of small 
gensets has become easy and cost effective. 

In AUTO position, the unit monitors 3 phases of the 
mains, runs and stops the genset automatically and 
performs load transfer. When the engine is running, it 
monitors internal protections and alarm inputs. 

The 1Amp @12V-DC rated battery charger is sufficient 
for the float charging of the engine start battery. 

Timers, threshold levels, input and output configurations 
are digitally programmable. Programs are modified 
through front panel pushbuttons and do not require an 
additional unit. 

The fault conditions are considered in 2 categories as 
Warnings and Alarms. Measured values have separate 
programmable limits for warning and alarm conditions.
