Complete pricing guide for surplus Siemens tiastar Motor Control Centers. Current market values by bucket size, configuration, and condition. Sell your MCC today.
The Siemens tiastar Motor Control Center is one of the most widely deployed MCC platforms in data centers, manufacturing plants, and industrial facilities worldwide. Its modular plug-in bucket design, robust construction, and Siemens' reputation for quality make the tiastar one of the most valuable MCC systems on the secondary market. Individual buckets can sell for $500 to $8,000+ each, while complete lineups command $20,000 to $200,000+ depending on configuration.
DataCenterDecommissioning.ai is the nation's leading buyer of surplus Siemens tiastar MCC equipment. We purchase complete lineups, individual sections, and even single buckets. Our team understands the specific configurations, vintage variations, and market dynamics that determine tiastar pricing, allowing us to provide the highest possible offers.
The secondary market for tiastar MCCs is driven by several factors: the long lead times for new MCC equipment (often 20-40 weeks), the high cost of new installations, and the proven reliability of the tiastar platform. Buyers range from expanding manufacturing facilities to data centers adding motor loads to contractors seeking cost-effective solutions for their projects.
Size 1 FVNR starters (up to 10 HP at 480V) are the most common tiastar buckets and sell for $500 to $1,500 each depending on condition and vintage. While individually modest, a complete lineup with 30-50 Size 1 buckets represents $15,000 to $75,000 in surplus value.
Size 2 FVNR starters (up to 25 HP at 480V) sell for $800 to $2,500 each. These mid-range buckets are in consistent demand for HVAC, pump, and fan motor applications common in data center cooling systems.
Size 3 and Size 4 starters (up to 50 HP and 100 HP respectively) command $1,500 to $5,000 each. These larger buckets are less common and more valuable due to their higher amperage ratings and the cost of new equivalents.
Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) buckets are the most valuable tiastar components, selling for $2,000 to $8,000+ depending on horsepower rating and drive manufacturer. Data centers frequently use VFD-equipped tiastar buckets for cooling system optimization.
Main breaker sections and feeder buckets with large frame breakers (400A-2500A) sell for $3,000 to $15,000 depending on breaker size and type. These sections are essential for complete MCC installations and command premium prices.
Completeness is king. A complete tiastar lineup with all buckets installed, wiring intact, and bus connections in good condition is worth significantly more than individual buckets or partially stripped sections. If possible, sell the entire lineup as a unit rather than parting it out.
Documentation adds value. Original one-line diagrams, bucket schedules, and wiring diagrams help buyers understand the configuration and plan their installation. If you have the original Siemens submittal drawings, include them with your sale.
Condition of the bus bars and connections is critical. Buyers inspect the vertical and horizontal bus for signs of overheating, pitting, or corrosion. Clean, undamaged bus connections indicate a well-maintained system and support higher valuations.
Vintage matters for compatibility. Buyers often need tiastar equipment that matches their existing installation's vintage for seamless integration. Both newer and older tiastar equipment has value, but for different buyer segments.
To get an accurate valuation of your Siemens tiastar MCC, provide us with: the number of sections, a bucket schedule (listing each bucket's size, type, and HP rating), photos of the front and interior of each section, and the approximate age of the equipment.
