In any modern industrial operation that relies on electric motors—from pumps and fans to conveyors and compressors—a reliable control system is the central nervous system. The Motor Control Center (MCC) is the backbone of this system, providing a centralized, efficient, and safe way to manage and protect a facility’s motors. While MCCs are a critical piece of technology, their performance and reliability are a direct result of their integration. Dorce Prefabricated Construction, with a 40-year legacy of modular engineering from our headquarters in Ankara, Türkiye, excels at providing fully integrated, high-performance MCC solutions that are optimized for a lifetime of reliability.

The Central Hub of Motor Control: What is an MCC?

An MCC is a comprehensive assembly of electrical components designed to control and protect multiple electric motors from a single, centralized location. Instead of having individual starters and circuit breakers scattered throughout a facility, an MCC consolidates these components into a standardized, modular structure.

Each Dorce MCC is a sophisticated integration of:

  • Feeder Breakers and Motor Starters: To control the power supply to each motor.
  • Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs): To precisely control motor speed and energy consumption.
  • Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs): For advanced automation and remote control.
  • Integrated Safety Systems: Such as arc-resistant designs and protective relays to ensure operational safety.

By consolidating these components, an MCC simplifies wiring, streamlines troubleshooting, and provides a safer, more organized approach to motor control.

Dorce’s Integration Advantage: Optimizing MCC Performance

Dorce’s prefabricated approach to power infrastructure is a strategic choice that directly enhances the performance and lifecycle of MCCs. By integrating the MCC into a factory-built solution, we deliver a superior product that offers:

  1. Optimal Operating Environment: Unlike on-site installations exposed to environmental variables, our prefabricated E-Houses and Power Distribution Centers provide a controlled, climate-managed enclosure. This protects sensitive MCC components from dust, moisture, and extreme temperatures, significantly extending the equipment’s lifespan and reducing the risk of premature failure.
  2. Enhanced Safety and Compliance: Safety is paramount in motor control. Dorce’s integrated solutions ensure that MCCs are installed with the highest level of precision and in strict compliance with international safety standards. Our designs often incorporate arc-resistant features and segregated compartments for an added layer of safety. By completing all wiring and performing a factory acceptance test (FAT) in a controlled environment, we dramatically reduce on-site risks for personnel.
  3. Accelerated Deployment and Reduced Risk: Moving the entire MCC installation process off-site streamlines project execution. While the site foundation is being prepared, the MCC is being meticulously installed and pre-commissioned in our facility. This parallel workflow significantly cuts on-site installation and commissioning time, reducing the overall project timeline and mitigating the risks associated with on-site labor and material handling.
  4. Tailored, Flexible, and Scalable Solutions: Dorce’s expertise allows us to seamlessly integrate various MCC configurations to meet the specific demands of any project. Our modular design provides inherent scalability, allowing you to easily add new units or components as your operational needs evolve, ensuring a future-proof solution.
