Medium-voltage motor control centres group starters, contactors, and protection for large motors operating at 3.3 kV, 6.6 kV, or 11 kV. They centralise the start, stop, protection, and condition monitoring of pumps, compressors, blowers, and crushers in heavy industry.

Schneider Electric's Motorpact and SM AirSeT MV MCC platforms support fixed, withdrawable, and disconnectable starter buckets with vacuum contactors, fused short-circuit protection, and Sepam motor protection.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is an MV Motor Control Centre used for?

MV MCCs group starters, contactors, and protection for large motors operating at 3.3 kV, 6.6 kV, or 11 kV, centralising start, stop, protection, and condition monitoring of pumps, compressors, blowers, and crushers in heavy industry.

What contactors and motor protection are used?

They use vacuum or SF6 contactors with current-limiting fuses, and Sepam M series motor protection relays.

How is maintenance safety handled?

The Motorpact and SM AirSeT platforms support fixed, withdrawable, and disconnectable starter buckets, with withdrawable buckets enabling safe maintenance.

What communication and integration options are supported?

MV MCCs support Modbus, IEC 61850, and SCADA integration.

Where are MV MCCs typically used?

Typical applications include petrochemical and oil & gas plants, water treatment, desalination and pumping stations, cement, steel and mining operations, and large HVAC chillers and district cooling.

What voltage levels do NLC's MV MCCs cover?

The Motorpact and SM AirSeT platforms cover voltage levels of 3.3 kV, 6.6 kV, and up to 11 kV, sized to the motor ratings on each project.

Can the starter buckets be customised to the motor list?

Yes. Buckets can be configured as fixed, withdrawable, or disconnectable, with vacuum or SF6 contactors and current-limiting fuses matched to each motor's full-load and starting current.

Are MV MCCs factory tested before delivery?

As authorised Schneider Electric assemblies, MV MCCs are built and tested to international IEC standards, with type-test and routine-test documentation available on request.
