The MCC's are usually seen in the electrical service entrance for a building. Motor control centers commonly are utilized for low voltage, 3-phase alternating current motors which range from 230 V to 600V. Medium voltage motor control centers are made for large motors that range from 2300 volts to 15000 volts.
