Motor Control Center
Motor Control Center
A Motor Control Center (MCC) is a type of electrical switchgear used to control and distribute electrical power to electric motors in industrial and commercial settings. The MCC is a modular system consisting of a single or multiple vertical sections, which houses the motor starters and associated control equipment.
The motor starters are typically comprised of contactors, overload relays, and other protective devices such as fuses and circuit breakers. The MCC may also include other devices such as programmable controllers, metering devices, and communication interfaces.
MCCs are designed to provide a centralized and organized location for motor control equipment, reducing the complexity of electrical wiring and allowing for easier maintenance and repair. The use of MCCs also helps to improve safety by providing protection from electrical hazards, such as electric shock and arc flash.
MCCs are commonly used in manufacturing facilities, power plants, and other industrial settings where large motors and heavy equipment are used. They are also used in commercial buildings such as hospitals, shopping malls, and airports to control the motors used for HVAC systems, elevators, and escalators.
Overall, MCCs are an important component of modern industrial and commercial electrical systems, providing a centralized and organized method for controlling and distributing electrical power to electric motors.
