Category overview
Motor control centers organize the power distribution, starting, switching and protection of multiple motors within a centralized electrical assembly. Typical configurations include motor starters, soft starters, drive units and protective devices. Related solutions such as medium-voltage protection, fire protection control, hazardous-area control and power factor correction can be engineered separately according to project requirements.

Motor Control Center (MCC)
A motor starter cabinet contains the switching, starting and protection equipment required for electric motors. Direct-on-line, star-delta or soft-start arrangements are chosen to suit the motor duty.

Motor Control Center (MCC)
An HV protection and control panel houses protective relays, control circuits and status interfaces for electrical networks. Protection functions and settings are determined by the system voltage and protection study.
View productThe essentials
A motor control center is an enclosed electrical assembly with a common power bus and individual motor control units. Each unit contains the switching, starting and protective devices required for its connected load. MCCs are used to organize motor operation across industrial facilities, where multiple machines need coordinated power distribution and control.
How it works
The incoming electrical supply enters the MCC through the specified main switching and protective arrangement. The internal busbars distribute power to individual motor control units according to the electrical ratings and circuit configuration.
Each motor control unit uses the selected starter, contactor, soft starter or drive to operate its connected motor. Control commands determine the starting, stopping and, where applicable, speed regulation of individual motors.
Protective devices respond to faults such as overloads and short circuits according to their settings and ratings. Proper coordination between protective devices helps limit fault effects and supports the operation of unaffected circuits where the system design permits.

Why this category
Review the selected model against the electrical and installation requirements of the project.
Before you specify
An MCC usually combines multiple motor control units within a shared power distribution assembly. A standalone motor control cabinet is typically designed for one motor or a smaller equipment group. The selection depends on the number of loads, required ratings, control functions and installation arrangement.
Yes. An MCC can include direct-on-line starters, soft starters and variable frequency drives when the electrical design supports them. These devices perform different functions: soft starters control motor starting characteristics, while VFDs can regulate motor speed during operation.
These functions require separate technical review. Medium-voltage motor control uses appropriately rated equipment, while fire protection controls and hazardous-area equipment must meet their specific application and safety requirements. They should not be assumed to be standard features of a low-voltage MCC.
Power factor correction equipment may be provided as part of a coordinated electrical distribution solution. The capacitor arrangement, switching method, harmonic conditions and system design must be reviewed to determine whether a dedicated compensation cabinet or a compatible integrated arrangement is appropriate.
