Motor control centres for plants with many motors

When a plant has dozens of motors, controlling them from scattered starters becomes messy. A motor control centre, or MCC, brings the starters together in one organised set of cubicles with a common busbar. It is easier to operate, easier to maintain and safer to work around.

Each cubicle holds the starter for one motor, whether that is direct on line, star delta or drive-based. Feeders are separated by compartment walls, and busbars are sized for the total load. We check short circuit ratings so the panel handles fault levels at your site.

Draw-out construction is worth considering for critical loads. A faulty starter unit can be pulled out and replaced in minutes, while the rest of the plant keeps running. Fixed type suits smaller installations where such downtime is acceptable.

Key Highlights

Compartmentalised design

Each starter is separated for safer working and easier fault finding.

Sized busbars

Ratings come from your load list and fault level.

Fixed or draw-out

Choose what suits your downtime tolerance.

Spare cubicles

Capacity for adding motors later without major rework.

Space for growth is something we raise early. Adding a new pump next year is simple if there is a spare cubicle, and expensive if there is not. A little extra capacity now is usually a sensible choice.

Our MCC panels are fabricated, wired and tested in our own workshop. We provide single line diagrams and wiring drawings, and we can be present at site during installation and first energisation if you would like.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between MCC and a normal starter panel?

An MCC groups many starters into organised compartments with a common busbar, while a normal panel usually serves one or a few motors. MCCs suit larger plants.

Is draw-out type worth the extra cost?

For critical motors, yes. A faulty unit can be swapped in minutes while the rest of the plant continues running.
