Local/Remote Switches in MCC
Local/Remote Switches in MCC
(OP)
Is it normal to have Local / Remote switches in both MCC and in LCS near the Motor? I think it is possible to have misoperation with Local / Remote switches in both location.
Is it necessary/code requirement to have Local/remote switches, start/stop push buttons in the MCC? as I would like to have them in the LCS near motor.

That said, Local / Remote selectors in two places can create a particularly frustrating troubleshooting experience if you ask me. I would never do that.

You'd typically put it at the motor when there are local controls at the motor and the operators would manually start and stop the motor while standing near the motor so they could watch the motor and load operate.

You can't really make a blanket statement like this. I've seen hundreds and hundreds of motor starters with no stop PB at the starter.

This is a downside of people asking questions about "codes" without first identifying where in the world they are located. Codes vary quite a bit across the world.
