Product Introduction Technical Parameter Size

1.Low Voltage Motor Control Cente Product Overview
      Low Voltage Motor Control Centers (MCCs) are centralized distribution assemblies for managing the starting, stopping, protection, and monitoring of multiple motors. Designed and manufactured in accordance with IEC 61439-1/-2 (formerly IEC 60439), they integrate components such as circuit-breakers/fuses, contactors, overload relays, motor protection devices, control transformers, PLC/DCS interfaces, indicating instruments, and pushbuttons/indicator lamps into standardized enclosures or withdrawable units. MCCs provide safe, reliable, flexible, and easily maintainable motor control solutions, widely used in industrial sectors including petrochemical, power generation, metallurgy, water treatment, and manufacturing.

2. Low Voltage Motor Control Cente Main Functions
      Starting Control: Provides multiple starting methods: Direct-On-Line (DOL), Star-Delta (Y-Δ), Auto-transformer, Soft Starter, and Variable Frequency Drive (VFD).
      Stopping Control: Provides normal stopping and emergency stopping functions.
      Overload Protection: Detects motor overload current and initiates tripping via thermal-magnetic relays or electronic motor protection devices.
      Short-Circuit Protection: Rapidly interrupts short-circuit fault currents using circuit-breakers or fuse + contactor combinations.
      Undervoltage/No-Voltage Protection: Prevents unintended motor starting or operation during abnormal supply voltage conditions.
      Phase Failure/Unbalance Protection: Detects loss of phase or severe phase imbalance to protect the motor.
      Stall Protection: Detects locked rotor current during motor starting or operation.
      Earth Fault Protection (Optional): Detects earth fault currents in the motor or cable.
      Status Monitoring and Indication: Provides indication for Run, Stop, Fault (overload, short-circuit, etc.), and Ready/Power status.
      Remote/Local Control: Supports local pushbutton operation and communication with higher-level PLC/DCS/SCADA systems (hardwired or bus communication).
      Measurement & Metering (Optional): Measures parameters such as current, voltage, power, and energy.
      Isolation and Maintenance Safety: Provides visible isolation points via disconnectors or withdrawable units to ensure safety during maintenance.

3.Low Voltage Motor Control CenteProduct Features
