Motor Control Centers/Panels

Motor control center (MCC) is also referred to as a motor control panel. These panels are effectively designed to be used with motor or submersible pumps offering sufficient protection from short circuits and overloads.

MCC is a flexible cabinet system meant for controlling and powering motors in factories or industries.

Salient Features
The common features of motor control panels include:

• MCC includes good quality panel accessories for greater longevity.
• Provided with powder coated sheet enclosures.

Product Description
Majority of MCCs gets its power supply from a main switchgear. The switchgear on the other hand, obtains its power supply from a transformer, which is connected to the incoming line from the power grid.

Commonly, an MCC cabinet is an enclosure provided with a number of small doors arranged in rows and columns along the front and flat edges. In most cases, these doors have featureless back and sides. On the back side of each door, there is a unit called a bucket. The bucket connects the electrical devices inside to the electrical bus bars situated behind it. An MCC having only one column of buckets is called a single-section MCC.
