Compliance and Protection Measures for MCCs and LV Switchboards

It is crucial for all MCCs and LV Switchboards to comply with the specific industry standards and electrical codes to ensure the safety and reliability of electrical distribution.

This is something our team will always make a priority alongside the use of protective devices such as circuit breakers, fuses, and overload relays to safeguard motors and equipment from electrical faults, short circuits, and overloads.

Common Motor Control Centres and LV Switchboards

We build and install SIL-rated Motor Control Centres and LV Switchboards of many different types, each designed and built to meet industrial requirements and preferences, offering varying styles of construction and functionality.

From floor standing and fixed MCCs and LV Switchboards to withdrawable units for ease of access, our team will always consider the specific needs of the industrial processes to be controlled and protected, with requirements such as flexibility, maintenance and integration with other control systems considered throughout design and build.

Common Motor Control Centers and LV Switchboards we provide include;

Fixed / Pattern Motor Control Centres and LV Switchboards

A fixed structure and arrangement of compartments, commonly used where the system configuration is expected to remain relatively unchanged.

Withdrawable Motor Control Centres and LV Switchboards

Allows the removal of individual motor control units for maintenance or replacement without interrupting the power supply to other components.

Variable Frequency / Speed Drives Motor Control Centres

Variable Frequency Drives & Variable Speed Drives (VFD and VSD) offer precise control of motor speed, bringing energy savings and improved process control.
