MCC and PCC panels are crucial in effectively managing the flow of electricity in the power distribution systems in industrial and commercial settings. These settings contain a considerable amount of small to high-voltage appliances like HVAC systems, machinery, lighting units, and numerous small-voltage appliances. The MCC panel and PCC panel are large, complex devices with a singular function- to manage motor and power control respectively. These are installed for efficient and safe management of electrical power distribution. There are many aspects associated with both of these panels, and we will learn briefly about them in this comprehensive blog.
All About MCC Panel
Industrial and commercial settings have large quantities of motors. Managing each of them is not feasible. Hence, MCC (motor control center) panel is used to control and effectively manage all the motors in a designated setting from a single location. These locations may be mechanical or electrical control rooms.
Function
MCC panel functions by centrally controlling the safety management of motors in an industrial or a large commercial unit. It provides easy access to specific motors across the building, improves operational efficiency, and minimizes downtime. It starts the motors, monitors current flow, trips the circuit if there is overcurrent, and isolates the power supply in specific motors for maintenance and repair works.
Components
The key components of MCC panels are motor starters, fuses, circuit breakers, overload relays, power contractors, busbars, and terminal blocks, all confined and protected within an enclosure.
All About PCC Panel
Power distribution, especially in large commercial and industrial settings is a highly complex phenomenon. Managing each and every piece of equipment, from small bulbs to large machines is impossible. So Power Control Center (PCC) panels are used to control and manage power distribution in these settings.
Function
These are centralized units containing control and protection features. It acts as a central hub, managing the electrical distribution with efficiency and safety. Its function is to keep current and voltage flow in check, prevent short circuits, overheating and detect faults and isolate them.
Components
The key components of a PCC panel are circuit breakers, busbars, metering devices, protection units, and control switches. All of these are confined in a robust enclosure.
Applications of MCC Panel and PCC Panel
The main applications of the MCC panel and PCC panel are:
- Manufacturing Plants
- Power Plants
- Renewable Energy Plants
- Hotels
- Resort
- Malls
- Supermarkets
- Office Towers
- Chemical Plants
- Refineries
- Solar Industries
