MCC Replacement Project

Kanwar Engineering successfully executed the replacement of a 600V Motor Control Center (MCC) for Lube and Grease facility to upgrade their aging electrical infrastructure and improve system reliability, safety, and operational efficiency.

​

Scope of Work:

​

• Assessment and Design:

  • Conducted a detailed site assessment to evaluate the condition of the existing MCC and identify key operational requirements.

  • Designed a modern 600V MCC system tailored to the client's current and future needs, incorporating advanced technology for improved performance.

  • Ensured compliance with applicable codes and standards, including CEC, ANSI, and CSA Z462.

• Equipment Selection and Procurement:

  • Specified and sourced the new MCC, including features such as:

    • Intelligent motor control modules.

    • Enhanced protection relays and monitoring systems.

    • Arc flash mitigation technologies.

  • Procured auxiliary components, such as busbars, cable trays, and termination kits, to support the installation.

• Replacement and Installation:

  • Planned and executed the phased replacement of the MCC to minimize plant downtime and ensure continuity of operations.

  • Supported removing the existing MCC and associated wiring, ensuring safe disposal of old equipment.

  • Supported Installation and commissioning of the new MCC, including terminations, cable management, and connections to field devices.

• Power System Studies:

  • Conducted short-circuit, load flow, and coordination studies to optimize the protection system.

  • Updated arc flash studies to ensure personnel safety and compliance with safety regulations.
