MCC Information

MCC Applications
& Specifications

Our motor control centres (MCCs) are used across a wide range of industrial and infrastructure applications where reliable motor starting, control, protection, and system integration are critical to plant operation.

We supply MCC solutions for both new installations and upgrade projects, tailored to suit operational requirements, site conditions, and future expansion.

Typical MCC Applications

Water and wastewater treatment — pump control, treatment processes, and critical infrastructure
Dairy and food processing — production lines, utilities, and process equipment
Mining and heavy industry — high-demand plant and continuous operation environments
Utilities and infrastructure — essential services, distribution, and remote sites
Manufacturing facilities — motor control, automation, and plant upgrades

Typical MCC Specifications

Rated currents up to 3200A+
Form 2–4 internal separation
Withdrawable and fixed functional units
AS/NZS 61439 compliant construction
Custom layouts to suit plant requirements

Frequently Asked Questions

What standards do your MCCs comply with in New Zealand?

All Clive Wilson MCCs are designed and manufactured to AS/NZS 61439, the mandatory New Zealand standard for low voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies. Every assembly is factory acceptance tested (FAT) before leaving our Invercargill workshop.

What segregation forms do you build MCCs to?

We build to Form 3b and Form 4a as standard, with Form 2 options available depending on application. Form 4b Type 2b is available for dairy and food processing environments where the highest level of internal segregation is required.

What MCC platforms do you build on?

We build on SIMOTROL and Logstrup MCC systems, both proven heavy industrial platforms configured specifically for New Zealand industrial requirements. Platform selection is based on your fault level, motor sizes, and operational environment.

Can you upgrade or expand an existing MCC rather than replace it?

Yes. We assess existing MCCs for fault level ratings, spare capacity, and compliance status. Where practical, we upgrade or expand existing assemblies, adding modules, upgrading protection, or retrofitting smart communications, rather than recommending full replacement.

What motor sizes and starter types do you cater for?

We supply DOL and DOLR starters up to 15kW (Tesys U), motor circuit breaker feeders up to 22kW, and full VSD-compatible configurations. Group starters up to and including 38A are available as safely demountable modules.

Can your MCCs integrate with SCADA and automation systems?

Yes. Our MCCs can be configured for smart communications, SCADA connectivity, remote monitoring, and automation integration, supporting modern industrial control and future-ready plant operation.

How long does it take to manufacture a custom MCC?

Lead times depend on complexity, platform availability, and current workshop loading. Contact us with your specification and we will give you an accurate programme. We manufacture entirely in-house in Invercargill, which gives us direct control over quality and scheduling.

Do You Want Us
To Specify Your MCC?

Our team works with engineers, consultants, and contractors to specify and design motor control centres (MCCs) tailored to your project requirements. From fault level calculations and compliance with AS/NZS 61439 through to layout and buildability, we provide practical, specification-ready MCC solutions.

Send us your drawings, load schedules, or project details and we’ll help define the right MCC system for your application.
