Medium Voltage Controllers

MEDIUM VOLTAGE CONTROLLERS
CENTERLINE
MEDIUM VOLTAGE MOTOR CONTROL
Manufacturers share the challenge of efficiently controlling

motors to improve performance, reduce power consumption
and protect motor investment. Of all the motors in your
manufacturing process, medium voltage motors can have a
large impact on your continued success. Developing
medium voltage motor control and protection has been a
core discipline for Rockwell Automation for more than
100 years. Medium Voltage products, from across-the-line
starters to soft starters and variable frequency AC drives,
deliver enhanced protection in applications ranging up to
several thousand horsepower. Bringing motors up to speed
in a controlled manner, limiting wear on the motor and
other mechanical components, and protecting your
investment are key benefits of Rockwell Automation medium
voltage systems.
O.E.M. frames and components provide OEMs and electrical

equipment companies with custom-engineered solutions and high
quality components. Both the medium voltage controller and SMC
product lines offer smaller, more flexible individual components to
reduce building and expansion costs. Open-frame style structures are
also available with most medium voltage components already
mounted within the frame. All OEM components are manufactured to
meet UL, CSA, CE and IEC standards.
Allen-Bradley medium voltage motor controllers are available
in a wide range of control formats allowing the flexibility to select
the best match for the application. Medium voltage full-voltage
controllers, reduced voltage controllers, solid-state reduced-voltage
controllers, two-speed controllers, synchronous controllers and load
break switches provide integrated intelligence and the lowest cost
solution for starting motors.
A COMPLETE LINE OF INDUCTION

AND SYNCHRONOUS CONTROLLERS
Solid-state reduced-voltage controllers apply reduced voltage to a medium voltage

AC motor to allow soft starting and stopping, limitation of the inrush current, and
reduction of the effects of water hammer in pumping systems. Allen-Bradley MV SMC Flex
controllers include motor protection, communication and diagnostic capabilities and high
flexibility, making it ideal for virtually any application.
IntelliCENTER provides MCC users with an integrated hardware, software and
communication solution. The IntelliCENTER features pre-configured software which shows
real-time data, trending, component history, wiring diagrams, user manuals and spare
parts. The IntelliCENTER reduces installation time with its plug-and-play set-up and
minimizes facility downtime by quickly providing intelligent diagnostic and predictive
failure information.
Arc resistant controllers Rockwell Automation has enhanced the safety of its world
recognized medium voltage control products to include an optional arc resistant class of
medium voltage control equipment. ArcShield controllers provide the additional arc
resistant safety features required by some industries. Most medium voltage control
products can be provided with the ArcShield enclosure design which meets the arc
resistant testing requirements of IEEE C37.20.7. ArcShield controllers use the same
standard reliable internal components that continue to serve industries world wide.
Variable frequency AC drives Allen-Bradley medium voltage drives provide a single

solution for all medium voltage speed control requirements. The PowerFlex 7000 family
of drives exceeds customer expectations by delivering superior reliability, ease of use and
lower total cost of ownership. The advanced power semiconductor technology reduces
component count to the lowest of any medium voltage drive available, translating to
increased savings and reliability, less downtime and fewer spare parts.

ArcShield
The ArcShield products have a robust enclosure design which contain

the arc flash energy and exhaust materials until vents on top of the
enclosure open. Once opened, the vents provide a path for materials
to exit the enclosure. An overhead plenum is used to direct the
materials to a safe location, away from personnel near the equipment.
The low voltage panel is reinforced and sealed, to prevent arc flash
exhaust materials from entering this compartment.
As standard, a plenum exhaust section is provided with each new
ArcShield order. The plenum exhaust section can be mounted on
either the left or right end of the line-up, and it extends 40 inches (or
1016 mm) past the end of the line-up.
As the ArcShield may have an impact on horsepower ratings, please
contact your Rockwell Automation office to confirm.
Engineered Features
Reinforced cabinet and power cell door closure mechanism
Multi-point latching mechanism, reinforced cross bracing and
gasket sealing
The Allen-Bradley Centerline ArcShield arc resistant controller provides
rugged process control for applications requiring a higher level of
personnel protection. ArcShield products are compliant to the IEEE
C37.20.7 standard, and provide Type 2B protection during an arc flash.
The ArcShield controller safely redirects the arc flash energy out the
top of the unit and away from personnel. This level of protection is
also maintained when the low voltage door is open for maintenance
purposes.
Reinforced back plates added support plates secured with multiple bolts provide increased rigidity and security
Reinforced low voltage panel to withstand arc flash energy and
shield maintenance personnel while working in the isolated low
voltage compartment
Arc Pressure Relief vent to safely vent arc gases and material
away from personnel during an arc flash
