Industrial electrical work carries higher stakes than residential or even commercial – heavier loads, more machinery, and stricter compliance requirements all apply.
What’s different about industrial electrical work
Industrial sites typically run three-phase power, heavy machinery with significant start-up loads, and often specialised equipment wiring – all requiring careful load planning and, frequently, dedicated sub-boards for specific machinery or production areas.
Compliance for industrial sites
Beyond a standard Certificate of Compliance, industrial installations often need equipment-specific testing and certification, particularly for machinery wiring and any high-voltage or high-current installations on site.
Common industrial electrical issues
Overloaded sub-boards from expanding operations without corresponding electrical upgrades, ageing wiring in older industrial buildings, and inadequate power distribution planning as equipment is added over time are the issues we see most often on industrial sites.
Planned maintenance vs reactive repairs
For a production environment, unplanned electrical downtime is expensive – a scheduled maintenance contract catches developing faults before they cause a shutdown, which is usually far cheaper than emergency repairs and lost production time combined.
Frequently asked questions
Do you handle three-phase industrial installations?
Yes, three-phase installation, upgrades and fault-finding are part of our industrial and warehouse electrical service.
How often should industrial electrical systems be inspected?
Annual inspection is a reasonable baseline for most sites, though higher-risk or heavier-use facilities benefit from more frequent checks.
