In commercial and industrial buildings, electrical installations should be tested every five years. This includes a thorough inspection of wiring, distribution boards, switches, sockets, and other electrical components.
For warehouse operations, electrical systems should be tested every three years to minimize disruptions and ensure compliance.
Industrial power distribution systems are critical for maintaining operational efficiency and safety in manufacturing facilities. They’re designed to ensure electricity is reliably delivered to the equipment and machinery essential to manufacturing and production.
Typically, industrial facilities receive high-voltage power from public or private utilities that range from 11KV to 132KV. The high voltage is stepped down to a lower voltage of 440 volts or below using transformers.
Switchgear and circuit breakers protect electrical circuits from overloads and faults. Switchgear includes switches and fuses, while circuit breakers automatically interrupt electricity flow when abnormalities are detected.
By ensuring each piece of equipment receives the proper voltage and current, you support consistent production output and help reduce operating costs. Working with a licensed industrial electrician to regularly service and maintain these systems is critical.
Various factors stand in the way of maintaining a stable power supply in an industrial environment including:
First, it’s important to understand your electrical needs including voltage, current, and power consumption. Choose high-quality components from reputable suppliers known for adhering to rigorous quality standards.
Next, consider your facility’s environmental conditions and choose equipment designed to withstand these conditions, with appropriate IP ratings for protection against dust and moisture. Prioritize equipment that complies with industry standards and regulations like UL or IEC certifications.
You’ll also want to evaluate cost-effectiveness. Determine the total cost of ownership including maintenance, potential downtime costs, and availability of replacement parts. Opt for products that are durable and easy to install, operate, and maintain.
