The Advantage Motor Control Center offers microprocessor based technology for motor control along with Eaton's highest quality in manufacturing and service.

Application Description
Advantage Motor Control Centers are custom-made assemblies of conveniently grouped control equipment primarily used for control of motors and power distribution. Motor Control Centers are designed for 3-phase, 230 volt applications up to 200 horsepower or 3-phase, 480 volt applications up to 400 horsepower.

Features, Benefits and Functions
Structure Design

Advantage Motor Control Centers are 20 inches (508 mm) wide and 90 inches (2286 mm) high with vertical compartments having 72 inches (1829 mm) of unit mounting space in 6-inch (152 mm) increments.

Structure depth is 16 inches (406 mm) or 21-inch (533 mm) deep front mounted only and 21-inch (533 mm) deep for back-to back mounted units.

The unique framed design permits the highest flexibility in component and structure configuration.

Accessibility
All parts and wiring are front accessible. Terminal blocks are side mounted in each unit. Vertical wireways separate from control units provide safe and convenient access to wiring and conduits without de-energizing any equipment.

Flexibility
Modular, framed design permits structure arrangements to be tailored to exactly meet any control requirements with a minimum of unusable space. Vertical compartments are incremented for maximum space utilization and unit interchangeability. A 12-inch (304 mm) size 3-4 starter unit provides users with the ability to solve demanding space requirements and still meet all NEMA and UL standards.

Safety
Design tested at the Cutler-Hammer power laboratory to assure maximum protection for control equipment. Engineered to minimize hazards to operating personnel.

Control Design
Advantage Motor Control Centers are available in two basic control configurations:

• Hard wired for connection to traditional local/remote devices, PLCs DCS systems.
• DeviceNet Motor Control Centers which provide the optimal integrated package for control, communication, diagnostics and simplified wiring. The Cutler-Hammer DeviceNet MCC Solution provides users with significantly reduced installation time and increased uptime through the integration of intelligent devices and advanced software tools. Control products include: ODVA Compliant Motor Starters, Variable Speed Drives, Operator Interface and Block I/O.

UL Listing
Standard structures and units are provided with UL label.

Options and Accessories
Power Monitoring
One of the truly unique features of the Advantage MCC is the ability to provide low cost, easily installed communications. The Advantage Starter allows the user to utilize this feature at the time of order to easily add at a later date. Not only can the PowerNet system provide distribution monitoring, motor control and protection in a MCC, but it can be tied to an entire system of assemblies. These assemblies include low and medium voltage switchgear, medium voltage MCCs, adjustable frequency drives, switchboards and enclosed control. This system allows the user to gather information for:

• Data collection
• Troubleshooting
• Monitoring
• Remote control

With the use of an Advantage PONI and 2-wire cable, the starter can communicate over the PowerNet network to a Central Monitoring Unit (CMU) on the MCC for a local network or with a PC for a remote network and provide data in the form of:

• A, B, C phase current
• Phase unbalance
• Control voltage
• Status
• Overload alert
• Trip cause, trip data
• DIP switch settings
  Auto/Manual reset
  Trip rating
  Overload relay class

Product Selection
MCC Operation
The Cutler-Hammer U.S. MCC product line is headquartered in Fayetteville, NC. At Fayetteville, the most progressive engineering in the industry can custom design motor control for the most demanding applications. Most MCCs can be shipped 6 ? 8 weeks after receipt of a released order.

Service Centers
One of the most unique aspects of the Cutler-Hammer MCC operation is the ability to provide customized product to meet delivery requirements through a MCC service center. There are eight regional service centers located throughout the U. S. serving key geographic markets. Each service center has the ability to provide standard NEMA 1 B wired product in as little as 1 to 3 days. Please contact the service center in your area to discuss opportunities and MCC support for your specific marketplace.

Seismic Qualification
Both the Advantage MCC and the Freedom 2100 have been qualified to meet the seismic requirements of both the Uniform Building Code and the California Building Code for equipment operation after seismic activity. This equipment, along with the Cutler-Hammer low and medium voltage switchgear assemblies, medium voltage starter assemblies and low voltage switchboards which meet seismic requirements, provide the user with a complete seismic qualified assemblies package. Please contact your Cutler-Hammer sales engineer for more details.

BID Manager
One of the most exciting new tools developed for the MCC product line is the Bid Manager program. Bid Manager is a PC-based pricing program that is capable of providing complete bills of material, front views and prices for both Advantage and Freedom 2100 MCCs. This program can configure a Motor Control Center to meet a multitude of specific applications and provide accurate bills of material and front view drawings in a matter of moments. The program operates on a user friendly, Windows- based format that offers the most extensive product selection found in the industry. A complete line of adjustable frequency drives and reduced voltage solid-state control, along with insulated case breakers, high ampacity molded case breakers and automatic transfer switches are featured in the program. Control and distribution product can be packaged in a multitude of variations. Please contact your Cutler-Hammer sales engineer for more details.
