Unleash Efficiency & Reliability: Advanced Motor Control Centers (MCCs)

Centralized Power, Intelligent Control, Unmatched Performance

In the demanding world of industrial and commercial operations, efficient and reliable motor control is paramount. Our advanced Motor Control Centers (MCCs) provide a centralized, modular, and intelligent solution for managing and protecting a multitude of electric motors and associated control circuits. Designed for optimal performance, enhanced safety, and seamless integration, our MCCs are the backbone of modern industrial automation.

What is an MCC?

A Motor Control Center (MCC) is a factory-assembled enclosure that houses a combination of motor starters, variable frequency drives (VFDs), soft starters, circuit breakers, protective relays, and control devices for multiple motors. It consolidates all motor control equipment into a single, compact unit, providing superior organization, safety, and ease of maintenance compared to distributed control panels.

Key Features & Capabilities:

• Modular Design:
  • Vertical Sections: Configurable bays allowing for various unit sizes and combinations.
  • Draw-Out & Fixed Units: Choose between easily removable (draw-out) units for quick maintenance and troubleshooting, or fixed units for economical stability.
  • Expandability: Designed for future expansion with dedicated empty cells or easily modifiable sections.
• Robust Construction:
  • Heavy-Duty Steel Enclosure: Fabricated from high-grade steel for durability and protection in harsh industrial environments.
  • Powder-Coated Finish: Provides corrosion resistance, scratch protection, and an aesthetic industrial finish.
  • Internal Compartmentalization: Separates power, control, and busbar sections to enhance safety and prevent arc-flash propagation.
• Superior Busbar System:
  • Horizontal & Vertical Bus: High-conductivity, tin-plated copper busbars ensure efficient power distribution.
  • High Short-Circuit Withstand Rating (SCCR): Designed to safely withstand high fault currents, protecting personnel and equipment.
  • Segregated Bus Compartments: Ensures maximum safety and isolation.
• Comprehensive Motor Control & Protection:
  • Variety of Starter Types: Direct-On-Line (DOL), Reversing, Reduced Voltage Soft Starters (RVSS), and Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) for precise motor control and energy efficiency.
  • Advanced Protection: Overload relays, short-circuit protection, phase loss protection, and ground fault detection.
  • Integrated Control: PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers), HMIs (Human Machine Interfaces), and control relays for automated sequences and operational visibility.
• Enhanced Safety Features:
  • Arc-Resistant Designs (Optional): Engineered to contain and redirect arc-flash energy, significantly improving personnel safety.
  • Safety Interlocks: Prevents unauthorized access or operation of equipment under hazardous conditions.
  • Dead-Front Construction: Prevents accidental contact with live parts.
  • Grounding Bus: Ensures proper grounding for all components and sections.
• Connectivity & Communication:
  • Industrial Communication Protocols: Supports Modbus, Ethernet/IP, Profibus, DeviceNet, and others for seamless integration with SCADA systems, DCS, and plant-wide networks.
  • Remote Monitoring & Control: Enables operators to monitor motor status, fault conditions, and control operations from a central control room.

Benefits for Your Operations:

• Increased Safety: Minimizes personnel exposure to live electrical parts and reduces arc-flash hazards through robust design and safety features.
• Optimized Performance: Precise motor control, energy-efficient VFDs, and intelligent automation lead to enhanced process control and reduced energy consumption.
• Reduced Downtime: Modular, draw-out units allow for quick component replacement and troubleshooting, minimizing maintenance time and maximizing uptime.
• Space Savings: Centralizes all motor control functions into a compact footprint, freeing up valuable floor space in your facility.
• Scalability & Flexibility: Easily add, remove, or reconfigure motor control units to adapt to evolving operational needs without major overhauls.
• Simplified Installation & Maintenance: Pre-wired and factory-tested units reduce on-site installation time and simplify future maintenance procedures.
• Enhanced Diagnostics: Integrated metering and communication capabilities provide valuable operational data for predictive maintenance and performance analysis.
• Compliance: Designed and built to meet or exceed industry standards such as NEMA, IEC, UL, and local electrical codes.

Technical Specifications (Typical):

• Voltage Ratings: 480V, 600V, 415V, 3.3kV (other voltages available)
• Main Bus Current Ratings: Up to 4000A (higher available upon request)
• Short-Circuit Withstand Rating: Up to 100kA (RMS Symmetrical)
• Enclosure Types: NEMA 1, 12, 3R / IP20, IP42, IP54 (Indoor & Outdoor options)
• Motor Control Units: NEMA Sizes 1-9 (or IEC equivalent)
• Busbar Material: Tin-plated copper
• Standards Compliance: UL 845, NEMA ICS, IEC 61439-2 (depending on regional requirements)
