Main Power Control Centers – MPCC
Main Power Control Centers (MPCCs) can be described as the heart of energy distribution systems. MPCCs are large, complex electrical panels that provide safe, efficient, and uninterrupted distribution of electrical power. MPCCs manage main electrical supply lines, provide load distribution, and optimize electrical system control.
MPCC panels are designed to account for the dynamic forces generated by the on-off operations of high-breaking capacity circuit breakers, up to 6300A applications. In electrical installation, electrolytic copper busbars suitable for total power and short-circuit currents are selected and supported at appropriate spacings in accordance with IEC 61439-2 and TS 3367 standards.
In accordance with IEC 61439-2 standards, auxiliary separators and switches can be formed from Form 2a to Form 4b Type 7 with the help of accessories for operational safety.
MPCCs perform a number of vital functions in electrical distribution systems:
- Power Distribution: MPCCs distribute energy from the main electrical supply to different areas, ensuring that each part of the system receives the correct amount of energy.
- Protection: Protects electrical systems against overloads, short circuits, and ground faults. This increases the safety of both equipment and personnel.
- Control and Monitoring: MPCCs are equipped with modern control systems to control and monitor energy flow. This optimizes energy consumption and ensures that any faults in the system are quickly detected and addressed.
- Energy Efficiency: Minimizes energy losses by directing electrical current more efficiently.
They are used to manage and control the system in the most convenient way in shopping malls, industrial facilities, smart buildings, water treatment plants and all areas where low-voltage power control is required.
