Machine repair and service to help minimize production downtime when equipment fails
Control systems and automation including motor controls and programmable logic integration
Factory relocations with full electrical disconnect, transport coordination, and reconnection
Backup power systems including generators and uninterruptible power supplies
Preventative maintenance programs and infrared inspections to identify failing connections before they cause shutdowns
Battery energy storage systems and EV charging infrastructure for facilities transitioning to electric fleets
LED lighting upgrades, energy audits, and renewable energy integration for long-term efficiency gains
New construction electrical for industrial build-outs and expansions

We have extensive experience with distribution center electrical systems, including conveyor systems and automated controls. Orange County industries we serve include aerospace manufacturing, cold storage facilities, machine shops, media studios, package delivery operations, and refineries.

What Industrial Electrical Work Involves

Industrial electrical systems operate at voltages and amperages far beyond standard commercial wiring. Qualified industrial electricians work with three-phase power, motor control centers, variable frequency drives (VFDs, which regulate motor speed and torque), switchgear, and high-capacity transformers. These systems require load calculations, engineering review, and technicians who understand how production equipment interacts with facility power infrastructure.

In California, industrial electrical installations are governed by the California Electrical Code, codified under Title 24 and based on NFPA 70 (the National Electrical Code), with enforcement by local inspection authorities across Orange County jurisdictions. Southwest Industrial Electric holds a California C10 Electrical Contractor License, and our electricians maintain OSHA certification with ongoing education to stay current on evolving code requirements and industrial equipment standards.

Industrial vs. Commercial Electrical Work

Commercial electricians handle lighting, panel upgrades, and standard building systems. Industrial electrical work goes further: heavy machinery hookups, automated production line controls, motor control centers, and high-demand power distribution systems that require precise load balancing and engineering oversight. A general electrician working in an industrial facility is outside their core training. Our team works in these environments every day.

Preventative Maintenance for Industrial Facilities

Unplanned shutdowns are among the most expensive events an industrial operation faces. Preventative maintenance programs reduce that risk through scheduled infrared thermographic scanning, which identifies overheating connections before they fail, along with load testing and systematic inspection of switchgear and panel components. For Orange County facilities running continuous operations, a structured maintenance program is a cost-effective electrical investment.
