Klockner Moeller MCC buckets are commonly found in older motor control centers used in industrial plants, commercial buildings, process equipment, and manufacturing facilities. When one of these buckets fails or needs to be replaced, finding the correct match can be difficult because many older Klockner Moeller and Moeller-style MCC units are no longer easy to source.

Ampstate supplies replacement MCC buckets, starter buckets, feeder buckets, breaker buckets, fusible buckets, and custom-built MCC solutions for industrial and commercial customers across Canada and the USA.

What Is a Klockner Moeller MCC Bucket?

A Klockner Moeller MCC bucket is a removable motor control center unit that may include a disconnect, breaker or fuses, contactor, overload relay, control transformer, pilot devices, terminal blocks, and internal wiring.

These buckets are typically used to control motors, pumps, fans, conveyors, compressors, and other industrial loads.

Why Replacement Can Be Difficult

Older MCC buckets are not universal. Even if the voltage and amperage match, the bucket may still not fit correctly in the MCC structure. The rear stab design, bucket height, mounting rails, door handle, disconnect mechanism, and internal layout must all be checked before replacement.

For older Klockner Moeller MCCs, the original parts may be obsolete, discontinued, or available only as used, rebuilt, or custom replacement units.

Can a Klockner Moeller MCC Bucket Be Rebuilt?

In many cases, yes. If the bucket shell, stabs, and mechanical parts are usable, the unit may be rebuilt with new or replacement electrical components. This may include replacing the contactor, overload relay, breaker, fuses, control transformer, pushbuttons, pilot lights, terminal blocks, and wiring.

A rebuilt bucket can be a practical option when a direct replacement is not available quickly.
