Open-Type MCC – IEC / UL 508A / CSA 22.2

IMEL designs and manufactures Open-Type Motor Control Centers (MCC) compliant with IEC, UL508A and CSA C22.2 standards, offering flexible and highly customizable solutions for the control and distribution of power to motors and industrial utilities.
This type of MCC represents a particularly versatile solution for applications requiring direct access to equipment, ease of maintenance, and maximum freedom in the configuration of functional units.

Open-Type MCCs are built with an open structure and compartmentalization adaptable to project requirements, allowing the integration of a wide range of control, protection, and automation devices.

Configurations can include:

• Direct-on-line and star-delta starters;
• Soft starters;
• Variable frequency drives (VFDs);
• Motor Management Relays;
• Intelligent protection relays;
• Process controllers;
• Energy measurement and monitoring systems;
• PLCs and integrated automation systems.

Each MCC is custom-developed to ensure the best compromise between performance, accessibility, and management costs.

Our solutions are designed to meet the regulatory requirements of major global markets:

• IEC for international applications;
• UL508A for the US market;
• CSA C22.2 for the Canadian market.

Compliance with these standards ensures safety, reliability, and full acceptance of the equipment in projects destined for North America and global markets. Open-Type MCCs can also be supplied in the Intelligent MCC (iMCC) configuration, integrating intelligent devices for advanced monitoring and digital management of the plant.

Available functionalities include:

• Real-time monitoring of motors and loads;
• Advanced diagnostics and predictive maintenance;
• Energy data collection;
• Alarm and event management;
• Motor Management Systems;
• Communication via Ethernet/IP, Modbus TCP, Profinet, and other industrial protocols;
• Integration with PLCs, DCS, SCADA, and Industry 4.0 platforms.

Thanks to the availability of real-time operational information, iMCCs allow improving plant efficiency and reducing maintenance costs.

IMEL provides a complete solution that includes:

• Electrical engineering and detailed design;
• Coordination and selectivity studies;
• Design according to IEC, UL508A, and CSA C22.2 standards;
• Assembly and wiring;
• Functional tests and Factory Acceptance Test (FAT);
• Certification and technical documentation;
• Support for installation and commissioning.

From design to final certification, IMEL offers reliable, scalable, and fully customized Open-Type MCCs, designed to ensure operational continuity, safety, and compliance with the highest international standards.
