Overview

What is an MCC Panel?

An MCC, Motor Control Centre, is a floor-standing assembly that houses individual motor starter units for multiple motors in a single enclosure.

MCC panels come in two fundamental construction types. In a fixed-type MCC, each starter unit is permanently wired into the enclosure. In a drawer-type (withdrawable) MCC, each starter unit slides into a cassette that can be pulled out under live conditions.

Form segregation determines how well the internal compartments are separated from each other. Form 4b, the highest level under IEC 61439-1, gives each motor unit its own compartment.

Subtech manufactures MCC panels from 63A to 4000A incomer rating, in drawer-type and fixed-type construction, with Form 2b through Form 4b segregation.

Key Benefits

Why this matters for your facility

Drawer-Type Modularity. One Motor Down, Others Running.

Withdrawable drawer units allow a faulted starter to be removed and replaced without shutting down adjacent motors.

Form 4b: Fault in One Unit Stays in One Unit.

Physical barriers between every drawer, the busbar, and cable terminations prevent arc flash from one module propagating to the bus or adjacent feeders.

CPRI Type-Tested at 65 kA.

Our MCC designs are short-circuit tested at CPRI at 50 kA and 65 kA fault levels.

Branded Switchgear. Full BOM Traceability.

Contactors from Schneider, Siemens, ABB, or L&T. Overload relays from the same OEMs.

VFD and Soft-Starter Integration.

VFD outgoing units with input filters, output chokes, and bypass contactor sets are a standard offering.

Profibus / Modbus Integration for Intelligent MCC.

Intelligent MCC variants with motor management relays provide per-motor energy metering and remote start/stop.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between an MCC panel and an LT panel?
An LT panel is a generic term for any low-tension distribution panel. An MCC is a specific type of LT panel where every outgoing unit is a motor starter.
What is a drawer-type MCC and when do I need it?
In a drawer-type (withdrawable) MCC, each motor starter sits in an individual cassette that can be slid out while the rest of the MCC stays live.
What is Form 4b and do I need it for my MCC?
Form 4b is the highest internal separation level per IEC 61439-1. It physically compartmentalises the busbar, every functional unit, and every cable termination from each other.
What is the lead time for an MCC panel?
Fixed-type MCC panels up to 630A incomer: 15-21 working days. Drawer-type MCC or above 630A: 21-35 working days.
