High-Performance Power Control Centres (PCCs): The Heart of Your Electrical Distribution
Overview
In demanding industrial and commercial environments, efficient, reliable, and safe power distribution is not just a preference, but a critical imperative. Our Power Control Centres (PCCs) are engineered to be the robust backbone of your electrical infrastructure, providing centralized control, protection, and distribution for heavy current applications. Designed for peak performance, maximum safety, and long-term durability, our PCCs ensure uninterrupted power flow to your critical loads.
What is a Power Control Centre (PCC)?
A Power Control Centre (PCC) is a vital assembly of electrical components that controls and distributes power to various sections of a plant or facility from a main incoming source (such as a transformer or generator). It typically houses high-capacity circuit breakers (Air Circuit Breakers - ACBs, Moulded Case Circuit Breakers - MCCBs), protective relays, metering, and control devices within a robust, modular enclosure, ensuring optimal functionality and protection for both equipment and personnel.
