Medium-Voltage (MV) motor control centers designed around the requirements of UL 347 [1] have been successfully utilized in petrochemical industries for many decades. Since they continue to provide consistent control of large MV assets, they have also become key components within the intelligent control requirements of today’s complex petrochemical facilities. Through the incorporation of proven technologies employed in other safety-based products used globally, these control products can be moved beyond their traditional safety requirements specified by the current product design and testing standards. This article covers the implementation and utilization of these proven technologies that can provide additional levels of personnel safety within these traditional designs.
