Power Control Centre (PCC) Panels: Robust & Reliable Main Power Distribution

Overview

The Power Control Centre (PCC) Panel is the nerve center of any industrial or large commercial electrical distribution system. Designed for critical applications, our PCC panels provide centralized control, protection, and distribution of incoming power from transformers or generators to various industrial loads and substations. Engineered for maximum safety, reliability, and operational efficiency, these panels are crucial for maintaining uninterrupted power supply and protecting valuable equipment.

Key Features

Our PCC Panels are meticulously designed and manufactured to meet the highest industry standards, incorporating advanced technology and robust construction:

• Robust Enclosure:
  • Fabricated from high-grade CRCA steel or Stainless Steel (SS) for superior durability.
  • Modular, bolted, or welded construction for optimal flexibility and strength.
  • Available in various Ingress Protection (IP) ratings (e.g., IP4X, IP54, IP55) suitable for diverse environmental conditions.
  • Powder-coated finish (standard RAL colors or custom) for corrosion resistance and aesthetic appeal.
• High-Performance Busbar System:
  • High conductivity Electrolytic Grade Copper or Aluminum busbars.
  • Generously sized to minimize losses and ensure efficient power transmission.
  • Short-circuit tested for fault withstand capabilities up to 100kA for 1 second.
  • Fully shrouded or compartmentalized for enhanced safety and fault containment.
• Advanced Switchgear:
  • Equipped with leading brands of Air Circuit Breakers (ACBs) or Moulded Case Circuit Breakers (MCCBs) as main incomers.
  • Outgoing feeders protected by MCCBs, Miniature Circuit Breakers (MCBs), or Motor Protection Circuit Breakers (MPCBs) as per load requirements.
  • Optional Automatic Transfer Switches (ATS) for seamless switching between main and alternate power sources.
• Comprehensive Protection:
  • Integrated relays for overcurrent, short circuit, earth fault, under/over voltage, and phase sequence protection.
  • Surge Protection Devices (SPDs) to safeguard against voltage transients.
• Intuitive Metering & Monitoring:
  • Digital Multi-Function Meters (MFMs) displaying Voltage (V), Current (A), Frequency (Hz), Power Factor (PF), Active Power (kW), Reactive Power (kVAr), and Apparent Power (kVA).
  • Energy meters for precise consumption tracking and analysis.
  • Optional integration with SCADA or Building Management Systems (BMS) for remote monitoring and control.
• Safety & Accessibility:
  • High internal segregation forms (Form 2, Form 3b, Form 4a/b) as per IEC 61439-1 & 2 for enhanced safety, fault localization, and maintenance.
  • Adequate clearance for cabling and termination, facilitating easy installation and maintenance.
  • Safe access for maintenance with interlocks and safety features.
  • Dedicated earthing and neutral busbars for complete system protection.
• Operational Control:
  • Clearly labeled control components, selector switches, push buttons, and indicating lamps.
  • Provision for local and remote operation.
  • Emergency Stop (E-Stop) functionality for immediate shutdown.

Benefits

• Unparalleled Reliability: Ensures stable and continuous power distribution, minimizing downtime and production losses.
• Enhanced Safety: Protects personnel and equipment from electrical hazards through robust design, comprehensive protection, and internal segregation.
