Chapter 1
System Overview
CENTERLINE® 2500 motor control centers (MCCs) are designed for
applications
that must comply with international standards and practices for
low-voltage motor
control centers. The CENTERLINE 2500 MCC is ideal
for tough
industrial applications where uptime and ease of maintenance is
required.
The CENTERLINE power bus structure distributes line power throughout
the MCC via an isolated bus work structure. A standard, center-fed,
300 A vertical bus supplies power to units above and below the horizontal bus,
which results in an effective 600 A capacity and unrestricted unit arrangement.
An optional 600 A vertical bus provides an effective rating of 1200 A.
ArcShield Rating The CENTERLINE MCC is also available with an ArcShield™ rating. This
rating includes arc-resistant features for enhanced protection if internal
arcing faults happen.
With the standard safety features of the CENTERLINE 2500 MCC, the
ArcShield option provides the following:
•Springlatches
• Reinforced structure
• Pressure relief vent system through the top of the enclosure
• Protection up 300 ms at 480V/65 kA
Table 1 - Conformity Ratings for CENTERLINE 2500 MCC with ArcShield
An ArcShield label is provided on the MCC with information about the
accessibility level and arc fault ratings. See Figure 8 on page 18 for an example
of this rating label and its location.
See Figure 4 on page 14 for the location of ArcShield structure protection
and page 54 for ArcShield door latches.
