Motor Control Center Panel (MCC Panel)

Understanding Motor Control Center (MCC Panels)

Motor control center (MCC panel) is a central location for controlling electric motors. It includes motor starter, fuse or circuit breaker, overload relay and power contactor. Many commercial and industrial applications require multiple electric motors and it is often desirable to control several motors. Most industries use a special panel called a motor control panel to control one or more motors.

What is the basic of MCC panel?

MCC stands for Motor Control Center, and these panels serve as centralized hubs for controlling and managing the operation of electric motors within industrial settings. Their primary function revolves around providing a safe, efficient, and organized means to control motors and associated equipment.

Types of MCC Panels:
Motor Control Center (MCC) panels come in various types, each tailored to meet specific industrial requirements. Here are some common types of MCC panels:

  1. Standard MCC Panels
  2. Intelligent MCC Panels
  3. Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) MCC Panels
  4. Soft Starter MCC Panels
  5. Customized MCC Panels
  6. PMCC Panels
  7. Draw-Out MCC Panels

To guarantee the safety and reliability of Motor Control Center (MCC) panels, several critical standards shape their design and construction:

  1. IEC 61439:

    1. Sets basic requirements for low-voltage switchgear and control gear assemblies.
    2. Focuses on verifying designs, construction, and testing for MCC panels.
  2. IEC 60947:

    1. Covers specific components like circuit breakers and contactors in MCC panels.
    2. Ensures safety and performance of these individual parts.
  3. UL 845:

    1. Relevant in North America.
    2. Defines construction and performance guidelines for MCC assemblies.
    3. Includes safety, testing procedures, and labeling requirements.
  4. NEMA Standards:

    1. Published by the National Electrical Manufacturers Association.
    2. Specifies types, ratings, and performance criteria for MCC panels.
    3. Promotes consistency and reliability in design.
  5. ISO 9001:2015:

    1. Demonstrates adherence to quality management systems.
    2. Ensures consistent manufacturing quality, though not MCC-specific.
  6. Local Electrical Codes and Regulations:

    1. Requires MCC panels to align with regional electrical codes and regulations.
    2. Ensures safety and compatibility within local electrical infrastructure.
