Power Control Center (PCC) Panel: Unrivaled Power Management & Protection

The Power Control Center (PCC) Panel stands as the cornerstone of efficient and reliable electrical power distribution in any large-scale industrial, commercial, or institutional facility. Designed to centralize the control and protection of your entire electrical system, our PCC Panels ensure optimal performance, enhanced safety, and seamless operation, even in the most demanding environments.

What is a PCC Panel?

A Power Control Center (PCC) Panel is a sophisticated electrical switchboard comprising various compartments for incoming and outgoing feeders, protective devices (circuit breakers, relays), metering equipment, and control devices. It acts as the nerve center for managing power flow from the main supply to various loads, providing essential protection against overloads, short circuits, and other electrical faults, thereby safeguarding both personnel and critical equipment.
