Advanced Power Control Centers (PCC): The Backbone of Industrial Power Distribution
Overview
In today's complex industrial and commercial environments, reliable, safe, and efficient power distribution is paramount. Our Power Control Centers (PCCs) are engineered to be the centralized brain and muscle of your electrical system, offering robust control, distribution, and protection for various loads and equipment. Designed for high power applications, our PCCs ensure uninterrupted operation, enhanced safety, and optimal performance across your facility.
What is a Power Control Center (PCC)?
A PCC is a comprehensive low-voltage switchgear assembly used to control, protect, and distribute power from the main incoming supply to various outgoing feeder circuits. It consolidates multiple electrical components, including circuit breakers, contactors, protective relays, metering devices, and control systems, into a single, modular enclosure. This centralized approach simplifies operation, maintenance, and fault diagnosis, making it an indispensable asset for any large-scale electrical infrastructure.
Key Features & Components
Our PCCs are meticulously designed and manufactured with high-quality components to meet stringent industry standards:
1. Robust Enclosure & Construction
Material: Fabricated from high-grade Cold Rolled Close Annealed (CRCA) steel, ensuring durability and corrosion resistance.
Modularity: Fully modular and extendable design allowing for future expansion and easy customization.
Ingress Protection (IP Rating): Available from IP4X to IP55, providing superior protection against dust, dirt, and water ingress.
Compartmentalization: Option for separate compartments for busbars, feeders, and control wiring, enhancing safety and maintenance.
Ventilation: Optimized natural or forced ventilation systems for efficient heat dissipation.
Cable Management: Ample space for cable termination with options for top, bottom, front, or rear entry/exit.
2. High-Performance Busbar System
Material: High-conductivity electrolytic copper or aluminum busbars, designed for minimal power loss.
Rating: Precisely rated for high current capacities and short-circuit withstand levels, ensuring safety and reliability during fault conditions.
Support: Supported by high-strength, non-hygroscopic insulators for excellent dielectric strength.
3. Advanced Switchgear & Control Components
Incoming & Outgoing Devices: Utilizes leading brands of Air Circuit Breakers (ACBs) and Moulded Case Circuit Breakers (MCCBs) for main incomers and outgoing feeders.
Protection Relays: Integrated comprehensive protection relays for overload, short-circuit, earth fault, under/over voltage, and phase sequence protection.
Motor Control: Provisions for motor starters (DOL, Star-Delta, Soft Starters, VFDs) with necessary protection and control elements.
Control Wiring: Neatly routed and clearly labeled control wiring for easy troubleshooting and maintenance.
Power Factor Correction (PFC): Optional integrated APFC (Automatic Power Factor Correction) panels for improved energy efficiency.
4. Comprehensive Metering & Monitoring
Digital Meters: Multifunction digital meters for accurate measurement of voltage, current, frequency, power (active, reactive, apparent), power factor, and energy consumption.
SCADA/BMS Integration: Capable of seamless integration with Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems or Building Management Systems (BMS) for remote monitoring and control.
Alarm & Event Logging: Real-time event logging and alarm annunciators for immediate fault identification.
5. Safety & Compliance
Interlocks: Mechanical and electrical interlocks for enhanced operational safety and prevention of maloperation.
Standards: Designed and manufactured in strict adherence to international and national standards such as IEC 61439-1 & 2, IS 8623, UL, and relevant local electrical codes.
Earthing System: Robust and reliable earthing system for maximum personnel and equipment protection.
