Motor Control Centres (MCC)
Motor Control Centres Designed for Reliable Industrial Operations
Motor Control Centres (MCCs) provide a centralised solution for controlling, protecting and monitoring electric motors across industrial facilities. Designed to improve operational efficiency, simplify maintenance and enhance electrical safety, MCCs play a critical role in manufacturing, processing and infrastructure applications.
Whether you are installing a new production line, expanding an existing facility or modernising ageing equipment, a well-designed Motor Control Centre provides the flexibility, reliability and scalability needed to support your operations.
At Stratos, we design and manufacture Motor Control Centres that are tailored to your operational requirements, helping businesses improve reliability, minimise downtime and support long-term performance.
What Is a Motor Control Centre?
A Motor Control Centre is a factory-built assembly that houses motor starters, protective devices, power distribution equipment and control components within a single enclosure or group of interconnected enclosures.
By centralising motor control equipment, an MCC simplifies installation, maintenance and fault diagnosis while providing a safer and more organised electrical system.
Motor Control Centres can support everything from a small number of motors to complex industrial processes involving hundreds of motor-driven assets.
Benefits of a Motor Control Centre
A professionally designed Motor Control Centre offers numerous operational advantages, including:
• Centralised motor control.
• Improved electrical safety.
• Simplified maintenance.
• Reduced installation time.
• Easier fault finding.
• Increased system reliability.
• Better equipment protection.
• Future expansion capability.
A well-planned MCC also supports standardisation across multiple production lines or facilities.
Our Motor Control Centre Solutions
Every industrial application is different. We design Motor Control Centres to suit your specific operational, electrical and environmental requirements.
Our MCC solutions may include:
• Direct-On-Line (DOL) starters.
• Star-delta starters.
• Variable Speed Drives (VSDs).
• Soft starters.
• Intelligent motor protection.
• PLC integration.
• HMI interfaces.
• Remote monitoring and diagnostics.
Each solution is engineered to provide reliable motor control while supporting future maintenance and system expansion.
Designed Around Your Process
No two manufacturing environments are the same.
Our engineers work closely with customers to understand:
• Process requirements.
• Motor loads.
• Operating sequences.
• Production priorities.
• Environmental conditions.
• Maintenance requirements.
• Future expansion plans.
• Integration with existing systems.
This ensures every Motor Control Centre is designed to support efficient and reliable operation throughout its lifecycle.
Quality Manufacturing
Every Motor Control Centre is manufactured using proven engineering practices and high-quality components.
Our manufacturing process includes:
• Professional panel assembly.
• Accurate wiring and termination.
• Component identification.
• Comprehensive inspection.
• Electrical testing.
• Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT).
• Quality documentation.
• Final verification before delivery.
Attention to detail throughout manufacturing helps ensure reliable performance from installation onwards.
Integration with Automation Systems
Modern Motor Control Centres rarely operate in isolation.
Our MCCs can be integrated with:
• PLC control systems.
• SCADA systems.
• HMI operator interfaces.
• Building Management Systems (BMS).
• Industrial communication networks.
• Energy monitoring systems.
• Remote access solutions.
This enables operators to monitor equipment, respond to alarms and optimise production from a central control system.
