What is MPCC (Main Power Control Centre)? Features, Applications and GVD Solutions
In industrial facilities, power reliability and efficiency depend on robust electrical distribution systems. At the core of these systems lies the MPCC (Main Power Control Centre) the brain of electrical power control and distribution.
GVD’s MPCC solutions combine engineering precision, safety, and sustainability in one comprehensive design.
Definition
A Main Power Control Centre (MPCC) is an advanced type of electrical distribution panel that receives power from the grid and distributes it to various load centers, MCCs, RPCCs, and secondary panels.
Unlike standard PCCs, MPCCs are designed for higher current capacities, multi-source configurations, and automation-based control and monitoring.
They form the main distribution backbone of an industrial power network and ensure uninterrupted power flow and safety.
