Motor Control Center (MCC) Panel: Centralized, Intelligent Motor Control & Protection
Overview
The Motor Control Center (MCC) Panel is the heart of industrial motor management, providing a centralized and efficient solution for controlling and protecting multiple electric motors from a single, organized location. Designed for robust performance in demanding environments, our MCC Panels integrate motor starters, variable frequency drives (VFDs), protection devices, and control circuitry into a modular, secure, and easily maintainable system. Elevate your operational efficiency, safety, and reliability with our state-of-the-art MCC solutions.
What is an MCC Panel?
An MCC Panel is an assembly of one or more enclosed sections, each housing a common power busbar and containing various control units. These units typically consist of a starter, a circuit breaker or fuse, and a disconnect switch for individual motor control. Modern MCCs also integrate advanced features like Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs), and communication capabilities for intelligent motor management.
