Power Control Centre (PCC) panels are industrial-grade, metal-enclosed switchboards designed for 415V/690V 3-phase, 50Hz, 3/4 wire systems with current ratings up to 6300A. A PCC Panel (Power Control Center) is used for controlling and distributing electrical power in industrial and commercial systems.
It receives power from transformers or generators and distributes it to various loads.
PCC panels include components like circuit breakers, busbars, meters, and protection devices.
They provide protection against faults such as overloads and short circuits.
PCC panels ensure efficient, reliable, and centralized power management.
Standards: Conforms to IEC/IS standards (e.g., IS:4237, IS:2147, IS:3072).
Capacity & Rating: Up to 6300A current rating; 415/660 Volts operating voltage.
