Optimized design and maintenance for Low Voltage MCCs.

In this paper the authors share their views on which best practices in design, operation and maintenance provide the optimum solution to maintaining the performance of low voltage (LV) Motor Control Centres (MCCs). Aspects to be covered during design, operation and maintenance window are: A. Causes of MCC failures B. Prevention of MCC failures C. Maintenance strategies D. Life expectation and Life extension E. LV MCC specifications F. Safety.
