Motor Control Center (MCC) Panel

Centralized Power & Precision for Your Motorized Operations

Product Overview

The Motor Control Center (MCC) Panel is the intelligent heart of any industrial facility heavily reliant on electric motors. Designed for centralized control, protection, and monitoring of multiple motors and their associated electrical circuits, our MCC Panels offer an unparalleled blend of safety, efficiency, and reliability.

Built to withstand demanding industrial environments, these panels consolidate motor starters, circuit breakers, variable frequency drives (VFDs), soft starters, and essential control components into a single, robust, and modular enclosure. This not only optimizes space but also simplifies operation, maintenance, and future expansion.

Key Features & Capabilities

• Modular Design:
  • Vertical Sections: Composed of standardized vertical sections, allowing for easy addition, removal, or modification of individual motor control units (buckets).
  • Scalability: Facilitates future expansion with minimal disruption to ongoing operations.
• Comprehensive Motor Control:
  • Direct-On-Line (DOL) Starters: For simple, fixed-speed motor applications.
  • Star-Delta Starters: Reduces inrush current for larger motors during startup.
  • Soft Starters: Provides smooth acceleration and deceleration, minimizing mechanical stress and electrical disturbances.
  • Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs): Offers precise speed control, energy savings, and advanced motor protection for critical applications.
• Robust Protection Systems:
  • Circuit Breakers & Fuses: Provides short-circuit and overcurrent protection for individual motor feeders and the main busbar.
  • Overload Relays: Protects motors from thermal damage due to sustained overcurrent conditions.
  • Ground Fault Protection: Enhances personnel safety and prevents equipment damage from ground faults.
  • Phase Loss/Sequence Protection: Safeguards motors against damage from power supply irregularities.
• Advanced Control & Monitoring:
  • Integrated PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers): Enables complex automation sequences, interlocking, and remote control capabilities.
  • HMI (Human-Machine Interface) Integration: Optional touch-screen panels for intuitive local control, status visualization, and alarm management.
  • Pushbuttons, Selector Switches & Indicator Lights: Provides local operator interface for manual control and status feedback.
  • Current & Voltage Meters: For real-time monitoring of electrical parameters.
• Superior Power Distribution:
  • High-Capacity Busbar System: Robust copper busbars with high short-circuit withstand capabilities (e.g., 50kA, 65kA).
  • Main Incoming Breaker/Disconnector: Provides a master isolation point for the entire MCC.
• Enhanced Safety Features:
  • Arc Flash Mitigation: Designed with considerations for arc-resistant construction, compartmentalization, and personal protective equipment (PPE) requirements.
  • Lockable Doors & Interlocks: Ensures safe maintenance procedures and prevents unauthorized access.
  • Emergency Stop (E-Stop) Functionality: Strategically placed E-stop buttons for rapid shutdown in critical situations.
• Durable & Compliant Enclosure:
  • High-Quality Steel Construction: Powder-coated for corrosion resistance and durability.
  • IP Ratings: Available in various Ingress Protection ratings (e.g., IP42, IP54, IP55, IP65) to suit indoor and outdoor environments, protecting against dust, water, and foreign objects.
  • Compliance: Designed and manufactured to international standards such as IEC, UL, NEMA, ensuring reliability and global applicability.

Benefits of Our MCC Panels
