System Overview
CENTERLINE 2500 Motor Control Centers (MCCs) are designed for applications
that must comply with international standards and practices for low voltage motor
control centers. The CENTERLINE 2500 MCC is ideal for tough, demanding
industrial applications where uptime and ease of maintenance is required.
The time-proven CENTERLINE power bus structure distributes line power
throughout the MCC via an isolated bus work structure. Standard, center-fed,
300 A rated vertical bus supplies power to the individual units above and below the
horizontal bus for an effective 600 A capacity and virtually unrestricted unit
arrangement. An optional 600 A vertical bus provides an effective rating of 1200 A.
ArcShield Rating
The CENTERLINE MCC is also available with an ArcShield™ rating. The
ArcShield rating includes arc-resistant features for enhanced protection in the
event of internal arcing faults.
In addition to standard safety features of the CENTERLINE 2500 MCC, the
ArcShield option provides the following:
•
Spring latches
•
Reinforced structure
•
Pressure relief vent system through the top of the enclosure
•
Protection up 300 ms at 480V/65 kA
