Evolution Series E9000 Motor Control Center

Brand: General Electric

The Evolution Series E9000 Motor Control Center provides a safe, flexible and centralized means to protect and control motors.

Since 1948, GE has driven the development of motor control centers, from the first plug-in combination starter to the first fully segregated units to contain fault damage.

The Evolution Series E9000 introduced the first 600A plug-in units and the first snap-in low voltage vertical barriers.

Evolution's 850A Vertical Bus, Snap-In Shelves, Plug-In Feeders to 600A, and Plug-In Starters to Size 5 provide customers with more flexibility to move buckets around and add them in the future.

These evolutionary advances extend to versatility in application - from the most complex auxiliary drive systems to the most basic control of fan or pump motors.

They also embrace the scope and caliber of components and systems required to satisfy those applications, from the latest in solid-state starters and drives to world-class programmable logic control to a wide variety of proven control and distribution devices.

Enhanced simplicity and safety along with reduced size all make the Evolution Series E9000 your natural choice in motor control centers.
Features
  • Evolution's Minimum 65KAIC Bus Bracing Standard:  Provides customers with the ability to expand as their system requirements grow.
  • Seismic Rating: Certified to IBC-2006 3D shake table testing and qualified to the seismic requirements of IEEE-693-2005.
  • Plug-In Starters to Size 5: Customers can now plug GE Starters up to Size 5, allowing easy installation and removal. In addition, Size 5 starters have been reduced to 36" high, so two can now fit in a single MCC section
  • Plug-In Feeder Circuit Breakers Now up to 600A:  GE's largest selection of plug-in feeders in the Industry provides customers increased flexibility to quickly move buckets.
  • Drives Rated to 100 KAIC:  GE's drives are rated to 100KAIC without fuses, saving customers footprint and additional expense.
  • Multilin MM200, MM300, LM10 Motor Management Relays: The newest options for the Evolution Series E9000 MCC are the Multilin MM200 and MM300 protection relays. They provide the latest technology in motor protection and control found in high-end protection relays. The features are suitable for process applications requiring varying levels of diagnostics and control; for critical applications requiring remote monitoring; and for high-speed control on a network separate from data acquisition. The two new relays are offered in addition to the existing LM10.
  • Integrated Transient Voltage Surge Suppressor:  GE TVSS components ensure the smoothing of spikes and inherent noise in utility/generator power flowing through your motor control center.
  • Snap-In Shelving:  No bracket screws required for shelving; snap-in shelves allow buckets to be easily moved
  • Special Paint Options: GE can provide a variety of paint options to meet your industrial needs.
  • Arc Flash Mitigation The E9000 AFM unit incorporates a retractable stab mechanism which allows for closed-door racking of the unit. This feature, described in IEEE 1683, helps provide added protection to electrical personnel from the dangers of an arc flash occurrence. Visual indicators offer personnel quick and easy indication of stab and shutter status.
  • Arc Resistant Construction E9000 AR offers a heavy-duty enclosure which is tested per applicable sections of IEEE/ANSI C37.20.7 with Type 2 accessibility. Reinforced doors, latches, and pilot device brackets provide strength and an optional plenum allows flexibility for installation. Evolution’s minimum 65kAIC bus bracing provides customers with the ability to expand as their system requirements grow.
  • IBC-2015 Seismic Standard Evolution’s robust design, fewer parts, and stronger assembly allows for a Seismic Zone 4 standard rating for customer peace of mind.
  • Plug-in Starters to Size 5 Customers can plug starters up to Size 5, allowing easy installation and removal. In addition, Size 5 starters have been reduced to 36” high, so two units can fit in a single MCC section.
  • Plug-in Feeder Circuit Breakers up to 600A A large selection of plug-in feeders, provides customers with increased flexibility to quickly rearrange buckets.
  • Variable Frequency Drives rated to 100 kAIC Variable frequency drives are rated to 100 kAIC without fuses, saving customers footprint and additional expense, while offering a compact drive unit, specifically at higher horsepower.
  • Multilin MM200 and MM300 Motor Management Relays Multilin MM200 and MM300 protection relays provide the latest technology in motor protection and control. The features are suitable for industrial and process applications requiring varying levels of diagnostics and control and for critical applications requiring remote monitoring. MM300 functionality such as auto restart, wave form capture, and flex logic provides high-end capability to meet customers demand. Both MM200 and MM300 relays offer multiple choices for control panel, graphical display, or hand held programmer.
  • Integrated Surge Protection Device (SPD) SPD components ensure the smoothing of spikes and inherent noise in utility/generator power flowing through the motor control center.
