Heat Dissipation from a MCC
Heat Dissipation from a MCC
(OP)
I have a 500A 480V 3ph MCC. I need to know what a typical heat loss for this size MCC might be expected. Currently there are 16 buckets installed, which range from 1HP to 100HP.
Thanks for your help.

RE: Heat Dissipation from a MCC
I looked this up but didn't really have any luck. I find that areas where there are electrical efficiency losses (with transformers and motors) there will be calculable heat gain but data for MCCs are not defined.
At the same time I've seen MCC rooms that get hot... I did find via search a study on this, but it was a study proposal. No results were given. If there's a known thumbrule for cooling load versus total MCC horsepower, I'm interested too.
Good post; I'll be checking in. -CB
