Power Play: Why ABB’s ReliaGear™ LV MCC is the MVP of Motor Control
A Smarter, Safer, and More Sustainable Motor Control Solution
When it comes to motor control, you need a system that’s flexible, safe, and built to last. ABB’s ReliaGear™ LV MCC (Low Voltage Motor Control Center) is designed to make motor protection and control easier, safer, and more efficient, all while reducing downtime and increasing system reliability.
What sets it apart? More density, more intelligence, and more control—all in one compact, modular package.
Key Features
Plug-and-Play Flexibility
ReliaGear LV MCC makes installation and future modifications simple. With plug-in starters up to Size 5 and feeder circuit breakers up to 600A, you can quickly swap components without shutting everything down. Need to rearrange buckets? No problem. This MCC was built to adapt.
Arc Flash Mitigation That Goes Beyond the Basics
Electrical hazards aren’t just a possibility; they’re a reality. That’s why ABB includes an Arc Flash Mitigation (AFM) unit with:
- Retractable stabs for safer unit racking
- Isolation shutters to prevent accidental contact
- Remote racking options that keep workers out of harm’s way
These aren’t just theoretical safety features—they’re real solutions to minimize risk and maximize uptime.
Smarter Protection with Integrated Motor Controls
This MCC isn’t just a housing for components—it’s a centralized intelligence hub.
- SACE® Tmax® XT Circuit Breakers deliver precise motor protection
- ACS580 Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) provide energy efficiency and process control
- UMC 100.3 Motor Protection Relays offer built-in diagnostics and remote monitoring
And with support for EtherNet/IP™, Modbus, and PROFINET, integration into modern automation networks is seamless.
Built to Last, Engineered for the Future
ABB didn’t just pack more technology into a smaller footprint—they designed ReliaGear LV MCC to last.
- Seismic-rated construction means it holds up in demanding environments
- Reinforced door latches are 21x stronger than standard designs
- Ample wireway space makes installation and maintenance easier
This MCC is more than just a collection of parts—it’s a well-thought-out system that reduces hassle, extends lifespan, and makes day-to-day operation simpler.
Why It Matters
Whether you’re replacing an aging system or expanding your facility, ReliaGear LV MCC delivers real-world benefits: more safety, more intelligence, and less downtime. With plug-in units, arc flash mitigation, and integrated motor protection, it’s an MCC that actually works for you—not the other way around.
