Modularization of Low Voltage Motor Control Centers for Hazardous Location Applications
Modular construction of process and mechanical skids is becoming commonplace in onshore installations located in harsh or remote environments where construction and labor costs have a major impact on determining the method of construction and selection of equipment. By locating and wiring more equipment on a module, significant cost and schedule savings can be achieved when the module is brought to the site for final installation.

Topic:
Modularization of Low Voltage Motor Control Centers for Hazardous Location Applications
Abstract: Modular construction of process and mechanical skids is becoming commonplace in onshore installations located in harsh or remote environments where construction and labor costs have a major impact on determining the method of construction and selection of equipment. By locating and wiring more equipment on a module, significant cost and schedule savings can be achieved when the module is brought to the site for final installation.
This paper will consider different design scenarios of modularized electrical systems in hazardous areas, and compare the cost savings as well as ease of installation, safety, construction and operations with modular installation methods of motor control centers in the hazardous area. Data from plants under design will be presented and compared for traditional plant design versus modular low voltage motor controls. The paper will also address the negative impacts that arise from this design and present input from a maintenance, control, safety and operations perspective.

Biography:
Nitish Saraf graduated from the University of Delhi, India in 2006 with a BSEE degree, and from the University of Texas at Austin in 2008 with a MSEE that included thesis work performed at ERCOT’s Operations Center in Taylor, TX from 2007 - 2008. He worked as an Electrical Engineer at Bechtel Oil, Gas & Chemicals in Houston, TX from 2008 to 2012 during which he was responsible for various electrical scopes of work on new LNG plant design. In 2012, he began working at R. Stahl Inc., a global manufacturing and technology leader in the hazardous location business as a Business Development Specialist and is currently Regional Sales Manager for global capital projects and EPC’s. He is a member of the IEEE, and an author of previous IEEE conference and transaction papers. He is a registered Professional Engineer in the state of Texas.
