Industrial & Utilities

Industrial operations demand switchgear that copes with motor starting currents, dust and continuous duty. We design, assemble and test motor control centres, starter and VFD panels.

Power quality is engineered rather than guessed: detuned reactor capacitor banks and active harmonic filters correct power factor and protect equipment.

Industrial & Utilities Priorities

  • Motor-heavy feeder coordination
  • MCC, soft starter and VFD panel integration
  • Power factor correction with detuned reactor banks
  • Shutdown-aware maintenance access and labelling

Typical Applications

Factory main MDB switchboard upgradeMCC replacement on a process linePower quality correction for VFD-heavy loadsCompressor and pump house control panels

Coordinate incoming power with the processes it supplies.

Information to send

  • Production schedule and motor starting duties
  • Demand, power-factor and harmonic measurements
  • Process interlocks and shutdown windows

Scope to agree

  • Motor and distribution interfaces
  • Measured power-quality options
  • Shutdown and expansion priorities

What changes the selection?

Equipment duty, installation conditions, available fault current, control interfaces and expansion plans all affect the specification. Agree the required drawings, tests and handover records before placing an order.
