Question 1

What is industrial electrical engineering?

Accepted Answer

Industrial electrical engineering encompasses the design, construction and commissioning of electrical systems for industrial plants, including substations, electrical panels (MCCs, LV switchboards), cogeneration systems and thermoelectric power plants. Authomathika has executed projects in 43 greenfield and 82 brownfield plants, with over 225 MCCs and 256 LV switchboards installed.

Question 2

What is the difference between an MCC and an LV switchboard?

Accepted Answer

An MCC (Motor Control Center) is an electrical panel designed to power, protect and control industrial electric motors. An LV switchboard (Low-Voltage Switchboard) is the main low-voltage electrical distribution panel of a facility. Authomathika designs and installs both types of panels, as well as switchgear and capacitor banks.

Question 3

What is a cogeneration system?

Accepted Answer

Cogeneration is the process of simultaneously generating electrical and thermal energy from a single fuel source, such as sugarcane bagasse in sugar-energy plants. Authomathika has deployed 23 thermoelectric power plants with cogeneration systems, optimizing energy efficiency and enabling the sale of surplus power to the grid.

Question 4

Does Authomathika supply electrical panels?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Authomathika designs, manufactures and installs industrial electrical panels, including MCCs, LV switchboards, switchgear and capacitor banks. We work with leading component manufacturers such as WEG, Rockwell, Siemens, ABB, Schneider, GE and EATON, ensuring full compliance with technical standards.
