Motor Control Center
A Motor Control Centre (MCC) is a centralized system designed to manage and control the electrical power supply for motors within industrial, commercial, or manufacturing environments. The primary purpose of an MCC is to distribute electrical power to motor-driven equipment, ensure efficient operation, and provide safety by protecting the motors from faults such as overloads or short circuits.
Typically, an MCC consists of a single incoming power line (incomer) that supplies power to the entire panel, which is then distributed to various motor feeders. These motor feeders are connected to motors through different types of control schemes such as Direct On Line (DOL), Reversed DOL (RDOL), or Star-Delta (SD) starters, depending on the motor’s size and application requirements.
