Motor Controls and Starts, Low Voltage
The low-voltage motor control center is a key element in electrical control systems because of the vital operating role they play in controlling motors and production processes. Because failure of electrical systems — specifically MCC-housed equipment — can present a serious hazard to personnel and property, a thorough understanding of MCC maintenance and testing is essential.
