A decade-long partnership has helped Siemens technology partner, Saftronics build its 100th Motor Control Centre (MCC) for use in the mobile power plant market sector.
The MCCs operate within mobile trailers generating up to 30MW of power which provide essential temporary supplies to applications across the world, for example assisting in the aftermath of the Japanese earthquake, and at high profile events where additional flexible temporary power is required.
Saftronics works in close collaboration with Siemens Industry to produce a variety of Sivacon power distribution boards and motor control centres. Sivacon’s robust reliability ensures it can operate in many challenging environments. Its small footprint and high stacking density make it ideal for use in mobile power plant and other industry applications. The design skills of the engineers and attention to detail of the assembly team from Saftronics make sure end users are supplied with an MCC to meet their specific needs.
William McMeeking from Saftronics, comments on the milestone: “To have built our 100th Sivacon MCC for the same customer is testament to the quality of the product and skills of the Saftronics team in meeting the bespoke needs of each application. Through close working relationships with Siemens we are able to provide MCCs to ensure mobile power plants supply essential power when it’s really needed and when reliability needs to be trusted.”
Jim Harris, Sales Director at Siemens Industry, adds: “The 100th MCC for the same customer shows how close collaboration and a high quality product has proven a successful approach. The MCCs are now being used across the world – with Japan being just one example – which is testimony to the contribution they can make. We look forward to continuing to work with Saftronics on future projects.”
Sivacon power distribution boards provide simple and consistent power distribution ensuring the highest levels of personnel and plant safety. This is due to the optimal control cabinet design, which offers a diverse range of possible uses.
