A Power Control Center (PCC) Panel , also known as the Main Switchboard, is the heart of an electrical distribution system in industrial and commercial facilities. It serves as a centralized hub for receiving, controlling, monitoring, and distributing electrical power to various loads, such as motors, transformers, and other equipment. Designed to handle high current at low voltage, PCC panels ensure efficient power management, enhanced safety, and reliable operation.
PCC panels are typically installed near the power source, such as a transformer or generator, and are engineered to withstand high fault levels (up to 65KA or 80KA for 1 second). They are widely used in industries like manufacturing, power plants, refineries, chemical plants, pharmaceuticals, and high-rise buildings to supervise and regulate power supply with minimal energy wastage.
- Modular and Compartmentalized Design : Ensures easy maintenance, future expansions, and safety by isolating components like busbars, feeders, and control units.
- High Fault Tolerance : Built to handle fault levels up to 65KA or 80KA, ensuring robust performance under short-circuit conditions.
- Customizable Configurations : Available with single or multiple incomers, bus couplers, and outgoing feeders tailored to specific requirements.
- Advanced Protection Systems : Equipped with circuit breakers, relays, and surge protectors to safeguard against overloads, short circuits, and earth faults.
- Real-Time Monitoring : Includes digital/analog meters for voltage, current, power factor, and energy consumption, enabling precise power management.
- IP-Rated Enclosures : Offers IP54 (indoor) or IP65 (outdoor) protection against dust and water, ensuring durability in harsh environments.
- High-Quality Materials : Constructed with 14/16 SWG CRCA sheets, powder-coated with a 7/9-tank process for corrosion resistance.
PCC panels are equipped with a range of electrical components that work together to ensure efficient power distribution and system reliability. Key components include:
- Circuit Breakers (ACB/MCCB) : Air Circuit Breakers (ACB) or Molded Case Circuit Breakers (MCCB) protect the system from overloads, short circuits, and faults by automatically disconnecting power.
- Busbars : High-conductivity copper or aluminum busbars distribute power from the main incomer to outgoing feeders, designed for high current capacity (up to 6300A).
- Relays : Overload relays, earth fault relays, and restricted earth fault relays provide protection against electrical anomalies.
- Contactors : Manage large electrical loads by switching high-power circuits on/off safely.
- Metering Devices : Voltmeters, ammeters, multifunction meters, and energy meters monitor electrical parameters in real time.
- Control Switches and Indicating Lights : Enable manual operation and provide visual feedback on power status, breaker conditions (ON/OFF/Trip), and faults.
- Bus Couplers : Allow seamless switching between multiple power sources (e.g., main supply and backup generator) for uninterrupted operation.
- Insulators and Wiring : Premium-quality insulators and FRLS/HR FR insulated wires ensure safety and durability.
- Space Heaters and Thermostats (Optional): Prevent moisture build-up in humid environments.
