Low Voltage Motor Control Center

ABB has released the MNS-MCC Low Voltage Motor Control Center, the first motor control center designed to address the causes of arc flash incidents while providing superior equipment and personnel protection. In developing the MNS-MCC ABB took the primary features of a globally proven IEC product and incorporated them into a unique, comprehensive low voltage motor control center that meets UL 845, CSA C22.2 and IBC-2006 standards. To achieve the greatest possible flexibility and minimize factory downtime, the MNS-MCC offers plug-in type, withdrawable type, and full height unit technology, with up to 4000A horizontal bus and 1600A vertical bus. Its innovative design is available in a variety of unit types, including starters, softstarters, variable frequency drives, and mains and feeder breakers.

The MNS-MCC offers many advantages, and an alternate solution to conventional-type installations that include:
− Higher levels of safety
− Arc flash features
− Reduced maintenance
− Highly advanced withdrawable unit technology allowing ease of assembly, removal, and replacement with few or no tools
− High operational reliability and availability
− Main bus up to 4000A and vertical bus up to 1600A
− Compact, space-saving design
− Bus splice windows
− Economical energy distribution in the sections
− Easy project and detail engineering through standardized components
− Comprehensive range of standardized types
− Various design levels depending on operating and environmental conditions
− Seismic compliance to IBC-2006

Circuit Protection Products and Solutions

Power-related problems cost U.S. companies more than $80 billion a year, driving up maintenance and production costs, causing production delays, lost sales, late deliveries, as well as increased spoilage and scrap. Mersen’s Surge-Trap® surge protective device with TPMOV® technology inside helps minimize power-related problems by protecting sensitive electrical equipment from harmful transients. It offers fail-safe overvoltage protection that meets the latest UL 1449 Third Edition standard. Best of all, it will save you money because it does not require coordinated fusing or the expense of additional fuses, fuse holders or wiring in meeting the UL standard. The Surge-Trap SPD offers the fail-safe protection you need in one compact, self sufficient design. For more information visit click here: More information here…
