Staro Process Control (SPC), in accordance with SANS-IEC 60439, developed a Type Tested MCC, offering our clients a Type 1 MCC. The MCC has a pressure release mechanism which also helps with heat dissipation.

The following main criteria were tested with amongst others Allen-Bradley components:

• Impulse voltage withstand test;
• Verification of degree of protection (IP3X and IP4X);
• Verify forms of separation and internal degree of separation;
• Temperature-rise test at IP3X;
• Temperature-rise at IP4X;
• Short-circuit withstand strength test on main and distribution busbars (50kA @ 525VAC for 1 second);
• Short-circuit withstand strength test on neutral and earth busbars;
• Short-circuit withstand strength test on protective equipment (50kA @ 525VAC);
