Model 6 Motor Control Centers
Introduction
Product Description
SECTION 1—PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Introduction
Motor control centers (MCCs) provide the most suitable method for grouping electrical motor control,
automation, and power distribution in a compact and economical package. Motor control centers consist
of totally enclosed, dead front, free-standing structures bolted together. These sections support and
house control units, a common bus bar for distributing power to the control units, and a network of wire
trough and conductor entrance areas for accommodating incoming and outgoing load and control wires.
The control units consist of components such as combination motor starters, branch feeder devices, AC
drives, soft starts, or lighting panelboards. Each unit is mounted in an individual, isolated compartment
having its own door. Standard MCC dimensions are 20 in. wide (including a 4 in. vertical wireway trough)
by 90 in. high (add 1.5 in. base channel and a 3 in. removable top lifting channel) by 15 or 20 in. deep.
Larger sections are often required for mounting larger equipment, or for providing room for customermounted devices.
Two package styles are available: Standard and Industrial. These Model 6 feature packages allow you
to custom design the MCC to fit your specific requirements. The Standard package lets you tailor the
MCC by selecting only those options that you need for an individual project, guaranteeing the optimal
cost/value balance. The Industrial package includes options most often requested and specified by
industrial customers. Offering the options as part of a package reduces the possibility of leaving out
common industrial features. See the following table for a comparison of the two packages.

Model 6 Motor Control Centers
Product Description
Features
Features
Product Description
• Section dimensions are 20 in. W x 90 in. H x 15 in. or 20 in. D.
• Horizontal power bus is located at the top of the structure for easy installation, inspection, and
maintenance without having to remove units.
Quarter-Turn Fasteners
• Constructed with 12-gauge steel frame and welded corner channels for exceptional structural rigidity.
• A durable, ANSI 49 acrylic/alkyd baked enamel exterior finish is standard on all Model 6 MCCs.
• Captive, four-bolt, horizontal splice bars with self-contained nuts and hardware make installation
easy and reduce the possibility of splice bar loss.
Captive Horizontal
Splice Bars
• Vertical bus barriers and wireway openings, when supplied, are built in 3 in. increments. This feature
allows more flexibility when mounting units and reduces wasted space in the enclosure.
• Vertical ground bus is located in each section. This bus mates with ground stabs on the rear of each
plug-on unit to create a positive ground connection, with first make/last break operation.
• Iridescent chromate-plated exterior hardware increases corrosion resistance.
• Quarter-turn fasteners on unit and wireway doors expedite closing and opening.
• A full-depth vertical wireway maximizes the wire pulling area. The Model 6 MCC has the largest vertical
wireway in the industry.
• L-shaped unit door hinge pins are easily removed with a screwdriver for general maintenance.
Horizontal Bus Located
Behind the Wireway
• Each Industrial package unit is fully compartmentalized, with solid side, back, and bottom plates. This
feature allows more mounting space for components and confines any potential faults within the
individual unit.
• A hinged, or fold-down, unit bottom plate on the Industrial package MCC allows additional space for
wiring and maintenance.
• Leveling notches in the base channel provide a means of aligning the section during installation.
Iridescent Chromate Plated Exterior Hardware
• Non-conductive, two-piece, sliding, horizontal bus barrier provides convenient access for splicing
and maintenance without the need to remove the panels.

Model 6 Motor Control Centers
Codes and Standards
Product Description
Codes and Standards
®
®
Model 6 Motor Control Centers are manufactured to NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturers’
Association) Standard ICS 18-2001 and EEMAC (Electrical, Electronic Manufacturers’ Association of
Canada) standards. Model 6 MCCs are also manufactured to Underwriters Laboratories Standard 845
and bear the “UL Listed” label, where applicable. The “UL Listed” mark is applied to vertical sections
and units that are installed within those sections. It should be noted that sections and installed units are
independently listed devices. Thus, it is possible to have non-UL Listed units installed in UL Listed
vertical sections.
All sections and units listed in this catalog are UL Listed, unless otherwise noted. The Model 6 MCC
meets CSA (Canadian Standards Association) specification standards and can carry the CSA label.
NEMA/EEMAC Wiring Classes and Types
Class 1- Independent Units
Class 1 motor control centers consist of mechanical groupings of combination motor control units,
branch feeders, other units, and electrical devices arranged in a convenient assembly. The
manufacturer completes wiring between components within each unit. Wiring between units is not

Class 2 - Interconnected Units
Class 2 MCCs are the same as Class 1 MCCs with the addition of manufacturer-furnished electrical
interlocking and wiring between units as specifically described in the overall control system diagrams
supplied by the purchaser.
Type A
User (field) wiring connects directly to device terminals internal to the unit. Type A wiring is provided
only on Class 1 MCCs.
Type B
User (field) control wiring connects to unit terminal block(s) in or adjacent to each motor control unit.
User load (power) wiring for Size 3 or smaller combination motor control units connects as follows:
Type B-D
User load (power) wiring connects directly to the device terminals, which are located immediately
adjacent to, and are readily accessible from, the vertical wireway.
Type B-T
User load (power) wiring connects to factory-wired power terminal blocks located in or adjacent to
each unit.
User load (power) wiring for Size 4 or larger combination motor control units and branch feeder units
connects directly to the unit device terminals.
Type C
User (field) control wiring and load wiring on Size 3 or smaller motor control units connects to master
terminal blocks mounted at the top or bottom of those vertical sections containing control units. Unit
control wiring and load wiring on Size 3 or smaller units are factory-wired from unit-located terminal
blocks to the master terminal blocks. User load (power) wiring for Size 4 or larger units connects directly
to the device terminals. As an option, user load (power) wiring for all sizes of motor control units may
connect directly to the device terminals within the MCC units. See page 60 for load wiring options.

Codes and Standards
Enclosure Types
Product Description
NEMA 1
Intended for indoor use only. NEMA 1 enclosures are designed primarily to provide protection against
contact with energized equipment inside. They are to be used in locations where normal service
conditions exist.
NEMA 1 Gasketed (NEMA 1A)
Intended to restrict the entrance of dust and falling dirt into NEMA 1 enclosures. NEMA 1 Gasketed
enclosures are not dust-tight. Neoprene gasketing is the standard material used.
NEMA 3R
Intended for outdoor use only. NEMA 3R enclosures are designed primarily to provide protection against
falling rain and sleet and remain undamaged by the formation of ice on the enclosure. They are not intended
to provide protection against conditions such as dust, internal condensation, internal icing, or extreme heat
or cold. The Model 6 NEMA 3R enclosure is built with galvannealed steel, which provides a high level of
resistance to corrosion when compared to standard hot or cold rolled steel with the same paint finish.
NEMA 12
Intended for indoor use only. NEMA 12 enclosures are designed primarily to protect against dust, falling
dirt, light splashing, and dripping of non-corrosive liquid. They are not intended to provide protection
against conditions such as internal condensation.
Shipping Weights
One, two, or three vertical sections can be shipped together on a pallet. Larger MCCs are split into
shipping blocks of three sections maximum. The following table lists typical approximate shipping
weights for a normal mix of MCC equipment. Some sections, based on installed devices and width of
the section, may vary from values shown in the table.

Product Description
Motor Control Center Heat Dissipation
The following table lists the approximate heat dissipation of various MCC units. This information is often
requested by engineers who are sizing HVAC equipment to cool and ventilate equipment rooms. Values
include an estimate of heat dissipated by the MCC Power Bus. To use, add the values for each of the
units in the MCC. Values are given in BTUs per minute or watts. To provide BTUs per hour, multiply the
BTUs per minute by 60.
The values given are for “typical” applications, and include an adjustment for power bus contribution.
Make the following adjustments for special situations:
Add 10–20 percent to the total heat dissipation for MCCs that make extensive use of relays, timers,
and other control devices.
Add 10 percent to the total heat dissipation for MCCs with 1200–1600 A main bus.
Add 20 percent to the total heat dissipation for MCCs with 2000 A main bus.

Model 4 to Model 6 Transition Section
(Not Available In NEMA/EEMAC 3R Construction)
Provides transition from an existing Model 4 to a new Model 6 MCC. The transition requires a 12 in.
extension on the first section of the Model 6 lineup. A transition section does not affect the space
calculation when estimating the number of sections during pricing. The transition section must be
ordered with at least one Model 6 section and cannot ship separately. The ampacity of the Model 6
horizontal bus must be equal to or exceed the ampacity of the Model 4 horizontal bus.
NOTE: Splice bars are included with the transition section.
The transition section will match the depth of the Model 6 MCC, and can be used to splice to an existing
back-to-back Model 4 MCC (20 in. deep). The transition section will be rear aligned with both the Model
4 and the Model 6 sections. On 3-phase 4-wire systems, the 3-phase bus bars will splice together, but
the Model 4 neutral bus bar will not be carried through in the Model 6.
NOTE: When ordering a Model 4 to Model 6 transition section, you must provide the original Model 4
factory order number.

Model 6 Motor Control Centers
Incoming Devices
Application and General Information
Incoming Devices
Incoming or main devices are used to connect power to the motor control center. In the majority of MCC
applications, the system is rated as 480 V, 3PH3W. If a neutral wire connection is required, a neutral kit
can be supplied (see “Three Phase/Four-Wire Wye Systems with Grounded Neutral” on page 23).
Typically, one of three devices is used to connect power to the MCC: main lugs, main circuit breaker, or
main fusible switch. One of these devices is connected to the horizontal or main bus with cable or hard
bus. Cabled or bussed branch devices or cabled starter units (those with an L, M, or P frame circuit
breaker disconnect, or 600 A or larger fusible switch disconnect) cannot be installed in the same section
as a main device. As with all electrical equipment rated 600 V or less, incoming cables must be rated
using the 75° C (167° F) chart in the National Electrical Code (NEC). The incoming lugs are 90° C
(194° F) lugs and 90° C (194° F) cable can be used, however the cable must be applied to the 75° C
(167° F) ratings.
All main devices must be top or bottom located.
Main Lug Compartments
• Main lug compartments must be specified in the absence of other incoming line provisions.
• 3PH4W main lugs include neutral assembly for cable connection to other units with solid neutrals.
• Main lug units short circuit current ratings to 100,000 A are available.

Three Phase/Four-Wire Wye Systems with Grounded Neutral
If the motor control center contains only motor or three phase loads, and no future four-wire loads are
anticipated, it is not necessary to bring the neutral conductor into the MCC. As an option, a neutral lug
termination (see Figure 1 on page 24) can be provided in the incoming main section to terminate a
neutral conductor. Additional lugs can be added for connections to the neutral. Contact your local
Schneider Electric field sales office for sizes and quantities available.
When four-wire loads are present in the MCC, solid neutral bussing (see Figure 2 on page 24) can be
provided in individual sections and connected to provide a continuous neutral bar. Incoming and
outgoing neutral conductors can be terminated at the neutral lug assembly located in each vertical
wireway (neutral drop) for easy access. Neutral drops can be supplied in one of three methods:
• only mains and units including neutral lug terminations (minimum),
• one drop per shipping split (optimum), or
• in each section (maximum).
Lugs are not provided when selecting solid neutral bussing, but holes are pre-drilled to accommodate
user-mounted lugs. A neutral lug assembly will be furnished automatically on all 3PH4W systems for
the incoming main section when selecting solid neutral bus.

Transient Voltage Surge Suppressor (TVSS) Units for MCC Incoming Mains
General Information
• Important Application Note: TVSS units must be installed on grounded power systems. Do not
recommend or specify installation on an ungrounded power system. Select a unit based on
the system wiring and transformer secondary feeding the MCC as shown below:
• Must be located as close as possible to the incoming main provision.
• TVSS units for 4 Wire systems must include a solid neutral bus and/or neutral lug termination
assembly in the MCC.
All motor control center TVSS Units include as standard:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

•
Flange mounted disconnect
Door mounted diagnostic lights for each phase
Audible alarm with Test/Disable/Enable switch
Direct copper bus bar connection
TVSS with EMI/RFI Filter
UL 1449 & 1283 Second Edition Recognized & CSA certified component
Individually fused suppression modules
High energy parallel MOV design for Categories A, B and C3 applications per IEEE C62.41 criteria.
Can be applied to MCCs with 100 kAIC short circuit withstand rating

Application and General Information
Selection
Select the TVSS Model based on:
1. System voltage, i.e., 480Vac, 240Vac, 208Vac, or 600Vac.
2. Desired surge current capacity, i.e., 120kA, 160kA, or 240kA. If a surge current capacity higher than
240kA is required, more than one TVSS unit can be priced and added to the MCC to bring it to the
desired surge current capacity. When adding more than one TVSS unit to an MCC, all units should
be mounted in the same section and in adjacent mounting spaces.
3. Type of loads to be protected, i.e., branch loads, service entrance applications, or large individual loads.
4. If backup redundancy is a requirement, two TVSS units should be priced and added in the same
MCC section and in adjacent mounting spaces.
5. TVSS units will eventually reach an end-of-life condition and must be repaired or replaced. To
assure continuous protection, a spare TVSS unit should be purchased and put into service when the
original TVSS unit reaches its end-of-life condition.

Model 6 Motor Control Centers
Unit Options
Application and General Information
Overload Relays
Model 6 motor control center units with Type S starters are available in NEMA/EEMAC Sizes 1
through 6. Type S starters are provided with melting alloy overload relay blocks as standard. Their
trip-free construction allows the overload relay to trip even if the reset lever is blocked or held in the reset
position. Features such as the trip-to-test and the visible trip indicator minimizes troubleshooting time.
With these features and state-of-the-art design, the Model 6 starter unit has earned a solid reputation
that no other NEMA/EEMAC starter can equal.
Schneider Electric has added the solid state motor overload protection to its existing family of overload
relay protection equipment, including melting alloy and bimetallic devices. Technological migration
allows Schneider Electric customers the ability to make the same space “smarter,” while preserving
backward compatibility. The Motor Logic® Solid State Overload Relay is available as a separately
mounted device, or as a replacement overload relay for existing NEMA/EEMAC Type S starters in any
of the open or enclosed configurations.

Motor Logic® Solid State Overload Relays (SSOLR)
The Motor Logic solid state overload relay is available in separate Class 10 or 20 trip ratings or as a
combined switch selectable trip Class 10 or 20. The solid state design of Motor Logic provides phase
loss and phase unbalance and repeat trip accuracy of ±2%. These relays are direct replacements on
existing melting alloy and bimetallic devices. Below is a typical control diagram using a solid state
overload relay.

Typical Control Diagram
Some of the functionalities of the solid state overload relay are noted below:
Overload Trip Function
A trip will be initiated if the phase currents exceed 125% of the trip current adjustment dial setting on the
front of the device. The time to trip will depend on:
• Level of monitored currents
• Trip Class of the device (Class 10 or Class 20)
• Length of time since last trip
The trip function is an inverse time function - the device trips quicker at higher current levels than at
lower current levels.
The overload relay is designed to meet the NEMA/EEMAC standards for a 1.15 service factor motor.
This means the overload relay must not trip for currents that are 100% of its current adjustment dial
setting, and that it must trip for currents that are 125% of its current adjustment dial setting.
Phase Loss / Phase Unbalance Relays
The phase loss / phase unbalance circuitry initiates a trip within three seconds if:
• A phase unbalance occurs when current in any one phase of a three phase motor drops significantly
below the current being carried by the other two phases. The threshold is 25% between the phases
before a trip is initiated.
• A phase loss occurs when current in any one phase of a three phase motor is completely lost during
running of the motor.

Unit Options
Application and General Information
The phase loss / phase unbalance circuitry can detect a phase loss in either the primary or secondary
of a wye-delta or delta-wye transformer.
The phase loss / phase unbalance trip function is fully operational at currents as low as 75% of the
minimum marked dial setting on the device and provides protection for lightly loaded motors.

Power Factor Correction Capacitors
Power Factor Correction Capacitors listed are environmentally safe and include fuses for protection at
the capacitor. These capacitors include discharge resistors as required by the NEC. When possible,
capacitors are mounted directly below the corresponding starter and are connected between the
starter contactor and overload relay. Installation of capacitors does not affect normal selection of
overload thermal units, starters, or disconnects.
Use the table below to size capacitors (in kvar) to the particular motor loads to be corrected. If motor
characteristics are not available, the values in the last column provide approximate sizing.
Do not use capacitors on controllers subject to plugging or jogging. It is recommended that only FullVoltage Non-Reversing (FVNR) starters be provided with power factor correction capacitors. Capacitors
can be applied to other types of starters, but auxiliary contactors are often required. Some types of
starters are not compatible with individual motor correction. Contact your local Schneider Electric field
sales office for details or application assistance.

Application and General Information
AC Drive Units
Altivar® AC Drive Units in MCCs
General Information
AC Drives have become common devices to vary the speed of AC motors. Motor control center
packaging of AC Drives has become common as more and more applications require accurate control
in an integrated solution. Schneider Electric provides a flexible AC Drive in the industry’s most flexible
MCC drive units. Typical applications include pumps, fans, conveyors, mixers and other industrial
process machinery. Varying the speed of these applications can provide benefits in energy savings,
material flow rates, output quality, and process flexibility. The Schneider Electric MCC AC Drive units
integrate a single family of Altivar 58 AC Drives into a combination drive package for MCCs.
MCC enclosed Altivar 58 AC Drive units are designed for use with standard three-phase asynchronous
motors with a power range of 1/2 to 500 hp (variable torque) or 1/2 to 400 hp (constant torque). MCC
AC Drive units can be applied to 480 V, three (3) phase, 3-wire or 4-wire systems. The MCC AC Drive
units have been designed to provide optimal protection in NEMA/EEMAC 1, 1 Gasketed (1A), and 12
motor control center enclosures, and in specific NEMA/EEMAC 3R applications.
Application
One of the flexible features of the Altivar 58 AC Drive is its ability to be adapted to multiple load types
or control strategies. An important factor to consider when choosing an AC Drive is the torque profile of
the load the AC motor will be connected to. Machine loads can be divided into the following profiles
based on torque requirements: variable torque, constant torque, constant horsepower, and impact
loads. The majority of MCC AC Drives are used in variable torque loads. The load explanations below
should help in choosing and sizing the correct AC Drives. Square D MCC Altivar 58 AC Drive units are
offered in 3 load torque types: Variable Torque, Constant Torque and Low Noise Variable Torque. One
of these three load torque types is set at the factory to allow faster commissioning and presets menu
options for the typical application needs. The low noise variable torque type AC Drive minimizes motor
noise for variable torque applications such as fans.
Variable Torque Loads
Many types of loads require reduced torque when driven at speeds less than the base speed of the load.
Conversely, such loads may require increased torque when driven at speeds greater than the base
speed of the load (see below). In both cases, these loads are classified as variable torque loads. Many
variable torque loads decrease with the square of the speed. This relationship is characteristic of
centrifugal pumps and of certain types of fans and blowers. Typically, as the speed decreases, the torque
decreases with the square of the speed and the horsepower decreases with the cube of the speed.
100% Load at
100% Speed
At 50% Speed:
• Torque = 25% of
full load torque
• HP = 12.5% of

Model 6 Motor Control Centers
AC Drive Units
Application and General Information
Constant Torque Loads
With constant torque loads, the torque loading is not a function of speed. Typical applications are:
•
•
•
•
Traction drives
Conveyors
Positive displacement pumps
Hoists
As the speed changes, the load torque remains constant and the horsepower changes linearly with
speed (see below).
Constant 100% Torque
At 50% Speed:
• Torque = 100% of
full load torque
• HP = 50% of
full speed BHP
Constant Horsepower Loads
With a constant horsepower load, the motor torque required above the motor base speed decreases
inversely, while the horsepower remains fairly constant (see below). Grinders and winders are constant
horsepower loads.
Above Motor Base Speed:
• Torque decreases inversely
• HP remains fairly constant

Model 6 Motor Control Centers
Application and General Information
AC Drive Units
Impact Loads
With an impact load, the torque loading is intermittent and is not a function of speed (below). Impact
loads are exhibited by a punch press, which uses a large flywheel to deliver the energy needed for the
load. It is also characteristic of loads that are driven through a clutch, which is cycled during the process
operation. Press applications require that the motor and AFC combination produce sufficient
accelerating torque to return the flywheel to the required speed before the beginning of the next work
stroke. For clutch and other impacting applications, the peak torque requirements must be considered.
Consult a Square D field sales office when impact loads are being controlled.
Selection
1. Select all drives based on motor full load amperes. Horsepower is provided for convenience only.
2. Select the drive based on application (torque) type, i.e., variable torque, constant torque or variable
torque, low noise. The drive will be factory programmed for the selected application type. If you need
assistance in qualifying a special drive application or reviewing specifications and drawings, contact
your local Square D field sales office.
3. The Altivar® MCC AC Drive includes a basic power circuit consisting of an input disconnect, current
limiting fuses and drive controller. Select any optional contactors required for the application by
referring to “Power Contactor Options.”
4. Select any control circuit devices by referring to “Pilot Devices.”
5. Select any miscellaneous features such as line reactors or extra control VA by referring to
“Miscellaneous Options.”

MCC Package Features
As standard, basic MCC Altivar 58 TRX AC Drive units include:
• Altivar 58 TRX AC drive.
• Operator keypad display mounted on the front of the unit.
• Disconnect (circuit breaker or fusible switch).
• Class J power fuses (for drives less than 125 hp).
• Cooling fans.
• UL 845 Listed for 100,000 amperes short circuit current rating (SCCR) at 480 Vac.
• Control station plate with space for five 22 mm operators.
• Three-phase line reactor for drives above 25 hp variable torque (VT) @ 480 V, or above 20 hp
constant torque (CT) or variable torque low noise (VTLN) @ 480 V, or above 10 hp @ 208/240 V.
Most MCC Altivar 58 TRX AC Drive units are plug-on style saddles which can be factory/field-installed
in Model 6 MCCs or field-installed in Model 5 MCCs. There are no placement limitations for
mounting any Altivar 58 TRX AC Drive in Square D MCC sections. Drive units are designed with
standard features of Model 6 MCC units, such as:
• White interiors for greater visibility during maintenance.
• Cast metal disconnect handle for ruggedness.
• Twin-handle cam racking mechanism in plug-on units to expedite installation/removal.
• Vertical and horizontal wireways are left undisturbed by the drive unit.
Integral to each MCC AC Drive unit is a thermal management system designed to maintain the drive
and other electrical devices at recommended temperatures. The thermal management system included
in NEMA/EEMAC 1 or 1A (Gasketed) MCC Altivar 58 TRX AC Drive units consists of fans and louvered
doors which force outside air across the Altivar 58 TRX AC Drive component for cooling purposes (see
the figure on the next page).
The thermal management system included in NEMA/EEMAC 12 MCC Altivar 58 TRX AC Drive units
consists of a closed duct system to separate outside air from electrical components. Inlet and outlet
ducts allow airflow across the metal heatsink fins of the Altivar 58 TRX AC Drive component as shown
in the figure on the next page.
This totally enclosed duct cooled (TEDC) concept achieves the oiltight/dusttight rating required for
NEMA/EEMAC 12 and removes heat without contaminating the drive electronics or other MCC units
with outside air. The thermal management systems are self-powered and include protection to shut
down the drive in case of fan or duct blockage.

Model 6 Motor Control Centers
Soft Start Units
Application and General Information
Altistart® 48 Soft Start Units
General Information
Motor Control Center Soft Start units provide a pre-engineered, integrated motor control center package
consisting of a combination disconnect and soft start controller for reduced voltage starting and soft
stopping of standard three-phase asynchronous induction (squirrel cage) motors. The Model 6 MCC
Soft Start units integrate the latest technology Altistart 48 Soft Start into a combination starter package
for MCCs.
The Altistart 48 (ATS 48) is a digital controller that provides the benefits of reduced current inrush (and
resulting voltage drop) and reduced mechanical shocks that can result from starting a motor across the
line. A six thyristor (SCR) solid state power configuration is used to provide smooth acceleration and
deceleration control of a three-phase squirrel cage motor. The Altistart 48 uses a patented technology
to control the motor performance based on the motor torque rather than simple voltage- or
current-based control (see figures below). Advanced control algorithms are incorporated to ensure
smooth rotation throughout the starting ramp without mechanical instability at the end of starting. The
torque control provides accurate and repeatable acceleration and deceleration. This feature allows for
linear speed ramp without tachometer feedback and reduces the temperature rise of the motor.

Benefits of Altistart 48 Soft Starts
• Reduced torque during start, which:
— Prevents damage to material in process
— Can increase the life of machines and reduce down time
• Reduced current peaks on the supply during starting, which:
— Reduces plant capacity requirements
— Reduces voltage sag on installations with limited capacity
— Eliminates side effects on other equipment driven from a weak supply
• Smooth acceleration and deceleration independent of fluctuations in motor load:
— Ideally suited for most fans, centrifugal pumps or other variable torque loads
— Can eliminate water hammer even on difficult pumping applications
• Advanced protection for the motor and the installation, including:
— Selectable overload protection class
— Overload pre-alarm
— Phase loss and reversal protection
— Stall protection during start
— Protection from material jams while running
— Underload detection

Model 6 Motor Control Centers
Application and General Information
Soft Start Units
MCC Packaging
Altistart® 48 Motor Control Center Soft Start units are available from 11 to 604 Amps in NEMA 1, 1A
(Gasketed), 12, and 3R MCC enclosures. Units are available for three (3) phase, 60Hz, 208V, 240V ,
480V, or 600V, 3 wire or 4 wire power systems. The Altistart 48 Soft Start in MCCs can provide soft
starting (reduced voltage) and deceleration along with machine and motor protection of standard NEMA
B-Design three-phase squirrel cage asynchronous motors in the following power ranges:
3–200hp, 208V; 5–250hp, 230V; 10–500HP, 460V; and 15–600HP, 575V.
The MCC Soft Start units integrate the latest technology Altistart 48 Soft Start from Schneider Electric
into a combination starter package for MCCs. All packages and options are UL 845 listed for a minimum
65,000 Amp short circuit rating up to 480V (ratings of 100,000 Amps @ 600V are available with fuses).
All MCC Soft Start units include a door-mounted keypad for setup and monitoring of the Altistart
controller. Control devices, if chosen, are mounted on the unit control station plate.
The circuit breaker disconnects used on MCC Soft Start units are Square D brand thermal-magnetic
type. The fusible switch disconnects used on MCC Soft Start units are automatic molded case switches
with visible blades. Provisions for Class J or L fuses are provided. Fuses are not installed at the factory.
Each unit is a Motor Control Center style package able to be installed and connected to standard MCC
sections. Units are saddle type, plug-on construction up to 125HP @ 480V (156 amperes) and full height
relay sections above 156 amperes. A 20-inch-deep MCC is required for units rated above 156 amperes.
The NEMA 1, 1A, and 12 units are all totally enclosed, dead front, non-ventilated. NEMA 3R units are
enclosed in a force ventilated, climate controlled outdoor rated cabinet for 14–104ºF.

Model 6 Motor Control Centers
Soft Start Units
Application and General Information
• Bypass Contactor:
A bypass contactor is supplied on all units. This allows the motor current to bypass the Soft Start
thyristors once the Soft Start has ramped up to full voltage/full speed. The use of a shorting contactor
reduces temperature rise within the enclosure during steady state operation and requires less current
carrying duty on the thyristors.
• Torque Control System (TCS™):
The Altistart® 48 uses TCS ramping to accelerate the motor to full voltage. Basing the acceleration
ramp on the motor torque rather than current or voltage, as used in traditional soft starts, provides a
linear speed ramp independent of the motor loading without tachometer feedback. The TCS ramp is
also used for improved control of deceleration and eliminates the need for a special controller to
handle water hammer problems.
• Integrated motor and controller thermal protection:
The motor and controller temperature are continuously calculated based on the controller nominal
current and the current that is actually drawn. The cooling curve of the motor is simulated through an
electronic circuit that stores the thermal state of the motor even if supply power is disconnected. A
rise in motor temperature can be caused by a slight or severe overload of long or short duration. As
shown in the figure below, the Altistart 48 controller creates a digital model of the motor temperature
based on two thermal images. The first (T1) represents the level of temperature rise corresponding
to “iron” (motor frame). The second (T2) represents the temperature rise of “copper” (stator
windings). For each thermal image, two levels of alarm are detected. An overload pre-alarm is
signaled via logic output when the thermal state exceed 105% for T1 and/or 130% for T2. A thermal
fault is signaled via output relay and keypad when the temperature rise exceeds 110% for T1 and
140% for T2.

Application
The ATS48 controller must be selected on the basis of three main criteria:
• Main voltage supply:
— Three-phase AC voltage: 208, 240, 480, or 600 V
• The power and the nominal current (motor FLA) indicated on the motor nameplate
• The type of application and the operating cycle. To simplify selection, two types of applications are
defined:
— Standard duty
— Severe duty
Standard or severe duty applications define the limiting values of the current and the duty cycle ratings.
Standard Duty Application
In standard duty applications, the ATS48 controller is designed to provide:
• Starting at 400% nominal motor current (In) for 23 seconds or at 300% nominal motor current (In) for
46 seconds from a cold state
• Starting at 300% nominal motor current (In) for 23 seconds or at 400% nominal motor current (In) for
12 seconds with a load factor of 50% and 10 starts per hour or an equivalent thermal cycling
The motor thermal protection conforms to Class 10 overload protection
Example: Centrifugal pump. See other examples in the Application Areas table on the next page.
Severe Duty Application
In severe duty applications, the ATS48 controller is designed to provide:
• Starting at 400% nominal motor current (In) for 48 seconds or at 300% nominal motor current (In) for
90 seconds from a cold state
• Starting at 400% nominal motor current (In) for 25 seconds with a load factor of 50% and 5 starts per
hour or an equivalent thermal cycling
The motor thermal protection conforms to Class 20 overload protection.
Example: Grinder. See other examples in the Application Areas table on the next page.
Selecting the Starter
Once the appropriate application has been selected from the Application Areas table, select the starter
from the tables starting on page 85 according to the supply voltage and the motor horsepower. If severe
application is required, choose the next higher horsepower unit. For convenience, the Altistart®
selection tables are based on nominal horsepower ratings. Be aware that nameplate Full Load Amps
and starting characteristics vary depending on motor manufacturer, base speed, and design. Altistart
units must be quoted based on maximum unit amps, not horsepower.

Contact your Schneider Electric field sales office for additional application information requiring:
• Two-speed or wye-delta motors
The ATS48 can operate with a 2-speed motor. A motor demagnetizing period must elapse before
changing from low speed to high speed in order to avoid antiphase between the line supply and the
motor, which would generate very high currents.
• Motors other than NEMA Design B
• High-efficiency motors
• Low-slip motors
• Low RPM motors

Model 6 Motor Control Centers
Soft Start Units
Application and General Information
• Power factor correction capacitors
Do not connect power factor correction capacitors to the terminals of a motor controlled by an ATS48
soft start. The power factor capacitors must be controlled and connected to a line side contactor
sequenced by the ATS48 at the end of starting.
• Controller oversizing of more than 50%
• Multi-motor applications
Motors may be connected in parallel provided that the power limit of the starter is not exceeded (the
sum of the motor currents must not exceed the nominal current of the starter selected, depending on
the type of application). Individual thermal protection and local disconnect is required for each motor.
• Non-standard trip characteristics
• Modifications not listed in this pricing guide
• Horsepower greater than those listed in this catalog
• Long mother cable lengths
Very long motor cables cause voltage drops due to the resistance of the cable. If the voltage drop is
significant, it could affect the current consumption and the torque available. This factor must be taken
into account when selecting the motor and the starter.
• Miscellaneous application precautions
Do not use the ATS48 controller upstream of loads other than motors (for example, transformers and
resistance type loads).

Input Isolation Contactor
(Replaces the standard shunt trip disconnect.
Standard feature if Reversing or Full Voltage
Bypass is chosen.)
As an option, MCC Soft Start units can include an
input contactor to isolate the Soft Start in case of a
fault condition instead of a shunt trip disconnect.
The input contactor also opens when the motor is
not in use. This provides protection from voltage
transients when the electronics are most
susceptible to damage. Control power is
maintained after the input contactor is opened so
fault diagnostics are available.

Model 6 Motor Control Centers
Application and General Information
OMNI Centers
Model 6 OMNI Center
The Model 6 OMNI (Open Multi-Network Integration) Center family of "intelligent" Motor Control Centers
offers enhancements to the Model 6 MCC, while providing reduced acquisition, installation, and
commissioning costs. The Model 6 OMNI Center offers the ability to be customized to meet any
application.
OMNI Basic
The OMNI Basic solution offers a hard-wired I/O system that provides basic information and control
capabilities. Choose various distributed I/O configurations with unit mounting or full section mounting
to meet specific application needs. The complete system I/O are connected to the appropriate
combination unit, drive, or soft starter and tested prior to shipment.
Control Power Distribution
Control power distribution in the MCC significantly affects PLC configuration and the electrical isolation
between connections at the PLC inputs and outputs. Two configurations are available for distributing
control power throughout the MCC: individual control power transformer and common control power.
Individual control power distribution uses transformers mounted in each unit or full section of the MCC
to provide power. Common control power distribution uses a single control power transformer to provide
power common to all units and sections in the MCC.
These two distribution schemes are sometimes combined, where individual control transformers
provide power for outputs and common control provides power for the inputs. This combination allows
mixing of isolated outputs with non-isolated inputs on a control device. Common control power
distribution may also include separate source control power, where a power source completely isolated
from the MCC, such as an uninterrupted power supply (UPS), is used to provide control power instead
of a transformer in the MCC.
PLC inputs and outputs may be either isolated or non-isolated. If non-isolated inputs are used, common
control power should also be used. Isolated outputs are typically used in applications with individual
control power transformers.
Separate-source control power applications require the use of a disconnect means (NEC Article 430-74).
Interposing relays must be specified when controlling Size 3 or larger starters, or when deemed
necessary by the application.
Two methods are used for locating the control power supply components in MCCs. The components
may be included in the space equipped with a PLC, or they can be located in a separate unit in the MCC.
Functionally, locating the control power in a separate unit provides more isolation from high voltage for
the PLC and increases the space available for PLC components in the unit or full-section configurations.
Control power supply units should be placed directly above the PLC.
The unit configuration of a control power supply uses a 6 in. unit consisting of a circuit breaker
functioning as a molded case switch disconnect, a control power transformer, a 24 Vdc supply
(optional), and appropriate fusing and terminal blocks. Two standard power supply units are available.
They include:
• 6 in. unit with 150 VA CPT, 24 Vdc at 2.4 A, disconnect, and fusing
• 6 in. unit with 500 VA CPT, 120 Vac, disconnect, and fusing
NOTE: Larger capacity power supplies are available.
PLC Connections in the MCC
To effectively control a typical combination motor starter, a minimum of one input and one output is
required. The input monitors the contactor status and the output energizes the contactor coil, either
directly in Size 1 and 2 starters or indirectly through interposing relays in Size 3 or larger starters. In
more complex applications, additional inputs may be monitored, such as overload relay status, control
power availability, or local control mechanism position.

Application and General Information
Model 6 OMNI Center-Flex
The OMNI Center-Flex control bus solution is designed for maximum flexibility to meet the widest variety
of applications and industry needs. The Flex option provides a simple and cost-effective way to network
all of your motor control and distribution units together. Additions and changes to the MCC are
simplified. Units can be easily relocated within the MCC without impact on the control wiring. Empty
spaces or sections can be "Control Bus Ready" to accept add-on Flex units. All control wiring to MCC
devices is made with one connection.
Benefits
•

•
•
•
•
•
Multiple network interfaces available
Reduced installation cost
Faster start-ups
Easy to install and maintain
Each I/O point is factory wired and tested prior to shipment
Reduced hardware and software requirements
Eliminates traditional automation hardware and wiring requirements
Connectivity
By using Seriplex® technology, a 5-conductor communication cable eliminates the bundled wiring
requirements of typical hardwired I/O automation solutions. Seriplex I/O Control Modules are mounted
in each Flex MCC unit and hard wired to the starter or other device. The Control Modules are then
connected to a UL 600V cabling system, which interconnects units within the MCC. The connection
utilizes a pre-molded 5-pole keyed micro-style connector. The Flex Control Bus MCC can communicate
to one of multiple network protocols such as Modbus® Plus, DeviceNet, Ethernet and Profibus via a
Momentum/Seriplex Interface. Simple configuration of the interface will map the entire MCC as a single
network drop. Only minimal network management is required. Control Modules within Flex units come
pre-addressed from the factory. Each Seriplex network in an MCC has a maximum I/O count of 240
inputs and 240 outputs. If additional capacity is required, an additional Seriplex network can be added.

Model 6 Motor Control Centers
Short Circuit Current Ratings
Technical Overview
SECTION 3—TECHNICAL OVERVIEW
Short Circuit Current Ratings
Motor control centers are being applied to electrical systems with increasingly high available fault
currents. Because of ever increasing short circuit requirements, Schneider Electric continually pursues
higher ratings through new design and testing.
Many “buzz” words and terms are used to describe short circuit ratings and how they relate to motor
control centers. Here are a few with a description of what they actually mean:
Interrupt Rating
This term describes the maximum fault current level that a particular device can interrupt. This type of
rating applies only to devices that operate to interrupt a short circuit when it occurs. This term does not
apply to power bus or components of the electrical system that do not interrupt current. Different units
within the same motor control center may have different interrupt ratings. Further, the interrupt rating
does not take into consideration the effect of a main device or the bus withstand rating.
Bus Bracing or Withstand Rating
This term describes the capacity of the bus network to withstand the mechanical forces generated
during a short circuit (fault).
Integrated Equipment Rating
This term is not clearly defined, especially when applied to motor control centers. While it is often
assumed that this term means series connected short circuit ratings or short circuit current ratings, this
term can also have other interpretations. Integrated equipment ratings are generally not provided for
motor control centers.
Series Connected Short Circuit Current Ratings
This term describes short circuit ratings that take into consideration the effect of a main overcurrent
protective device located in the motor control center or in upstream equipment. It does not necessarily
mean that the main has to open whenever a fault occurs. Many engineers feel that series connected short
circuit ratings mean that a system cannot be “coordinated” (coordination refers to a system’s capability of
interrupting a fault at the lowest level thereby limiting the amount of equipment shut down as a result of
that fault). System coordination should be considered when designing any electrical distribution system
and the level of coordination will often dictate the type of equipment used. It is possible to maintain
acceptable levels of system coordination while utilizing series short circuit ratings and alternately,
avoidance of series connected short circuit ratings will not automatically mean that the system will be fully
coordinated. Fault coordination should not be confused with series connected short circuit current ratings.
Short Circuit Current Rating
This term is Schneider Electric’s “bottom line” in describing the overall short circuit rating of a motor
control center. It means that the motor control center will withstand and/or interrupt a fault on an
electrical system capable of supplying the specified fault current.
To be properly applied, a motor control center must have a short circuit current rating equal to or greater
than the specified available fault current. In order to obtain this rating, a motor control center must
contain:

Model 6 Motor Control Centers
Technical Overview
Short Circuit Current Ratings
1. A main device capable of interrupting the specified fault current, located in the motor control center
or in upstream equipment. A short circuit current rating of a motor control center cannot be greater
than the interrupt rating of the main device feeding it.
or:
2. A bus bracing or withstand rating equal to or greater than the specified fault current.
and:
3. Units with short circuit current ratings equal to or greater than the specified fault current. All units
must either have an interrupt rating greater than or equal to the specified fault current or carry a
series connected short circuit rating greater than or equal to this level.
UL Listed Short Circuit Current Ratings
Underwriters’ Laboratories (UL) has defined test criteria for motor control center short circuit ratings. In
general, UL witnesses the testing of “worst case” configurations of motor control center units, structures,
and bussing at the short circuit current levels for which the equipment is being rated. In many cases,
such as units with circuit breaker disconnects, the same unit must be subjected to those fault levels
more than once. To pass, equipment must withstand and/or interrupt the fault in accordance with UL
criteria. UL Listed short circuit ratings ensure that different manufacturers are “comparing apples to
apples” when describing short circuit current ratings.
“Self-Certified” Short Circuit Current Ratings
Short circuit current ratings that are obtained through first-party testing and/or engineering evaluation,
are certified by the manufacturer, and are not UL Listed are known as “Self-Certified” ratings.
Self-certified short circuit ratings should not necessarily be considered unacceptable. However, caution
should be used because the basis for the short circuit ratings may differ from one manufacturer to
another.

Introduction
Wiring Diagrams
SECTION 5—WIRING DIAGRAMS
Introduction
This section contains typical, elementary wiring diagrams for Model 6 motor control center starter units.
These diagrams have been divided into three categories to allow selection of specific control. The three
sections are:
Power Circuit: The power circuit is typically 480 Vac, but is available in 208 Vac, 240 Vac, and 600 Vac.
The circuit provides power to the motor load.
Control Power Options: The power provided to the various means of control is listed with a fused
control power transformer or listed as a separate source, i.e. the control power is provided by the
customer. The standard control power system is 120 Vac, but others can be supplied.
Control Options: Control options such as remote control, hand-off-auto, on-off pilot lights, start-stop
push buttons, auxiliary interlocks, and others, are included. Customer connection points are designated
by “FTB” (field terminal block).

SECTION 6—DIMENSIONS
General
Standard sections contain both a vertical bus system and a vertical wireway. A relay section contains
neither, but does have horizontal power and ground bus for splicing to other sections. A relay section
can be equipped with a relay pan for customer-mounted equipment and devices. Starter units and main
or branch devices that require 72 inches of space are mounted in a relay section.
A transition section is used to splice two different models of Square D MCCs together (see page 17),
turn a corner, or create a back-to-back arrangement (see page 16). Conduit entry is not
recommended in transition sections.
NOTE: All cross-hatched areas in this section represent conduit entry. Numbers in circles indicate
vertical clearance in inches to nearest obstruction.
