Why Choose Our Industrial Electrical Services
Kochs Electric brings qualified master electricians and journeymen to every industrial job. Our skilled crew holds current licenses, carries full insurance, and works to NEC, NFPA 70E, and OSHA standards on every project. With extensive experience across Indiana’s industrial sector, our expert team brings the expertise and hands-on experience to handle any electrical system – from complex switchgear to high-performance motor controls.
We don’t subcontract your work to unfamiliar crews. The electricians who quote your job are the same ones who wire, connect, and commission your systems. That consistency matters when you’re dealing with high-voltage switchgear, three-phase motor circuits, or fault-protected distribution boards. Businesses rely on us because we understand what’s at stake in industrial environments – reliable operations and zero tolerance for code violations.
Our industrial electrical services cover new construction, facility upgrades, and emergency repair. We run load calculations before we pull wire, size breakers and fuses correctly, and torque every termination to manufacturer spec. That process prevents overloads, nuisance trips, and premature equipment failure. We also provide maintenance services – including routine maintenance programs – to help facilities maintain optimal performance and minimize downtime.
Kochs Electric also provides SCADA integration, PLC panel wiring, and HMI installation for automated industrial systems. We configure, program, and test control panels before energizing, so your production line comes up clean the first time.
We back our work with a written guarantee on labor and materials. If a connection fails, a breaker trips incorrectly, or a conduit run doesn’t pass inspection, we fix it. No arguments, no delays. As a trusted service provider, we’re available 24/7 for emergencies, ensuring your facility stays operational and secure at all times.
Signs You Need Industrial Electrical Services
Frequent breaker trips or blown fuses: If your circuit breakers trip repeatedly or fuses blow without a clear overload cause, your distribution system may be undersized, improperly phased, or carrying a fault current. A qualified electrician needs to run a short circuit study and inspect your panelboard and feeder conductors before the next failure damages equipment or injures someone.
Voltage fluctuations affecting production equipment: Motors, drives, and CNC machines are sensitive to voltage sags and swells. If your VFDs fault out, motors run hot, or PLCs reset unexpectedly, your facility likely has a power quality problem tied to unbalanced loads, a failing transformer, or an undersized service entrance. Kochs Electric can meter, trace, and diagnose the source.
Outdated or non-compliant switchgear: Switchgear manufactured before current NEC and NFPA 70E arc flash standards may lack proper arc-resistant ratings, interlocks, or labeling. Operating outdated switchgear without an arc flash study puts your workers at serious risk. We inspect, certify, and upgrade switchgear to bring your facility into compliance.
New machinery requiring dedicated circuits: Installing a press, compressor, welder, or conveyor system without a properly sized feeder, disconnect, and grounding path creates code violations and fire risk. Kochs Electric sizes and installs dedicated branch circuits and motor control centers to match your equipment’s KVA and ampere ratings.
Visible wiring damage or burning smells: Scorched insulation, discolored conductors, or the smell of burning near a junction box or panel are signs of a serious fault. De-energize the affected circuit immediately and call Kochs Electric. We troubleshoot, isolate, and repair damaged wiring before it causes an arc flash or fire.
Our Industrial Electrical Services Process
Step 1 — Site survey and load calculation We walk your facility, document existing circuits, and run load calculations based on your equipment’s ampere and KVA ratings. That data drives every decision we make about feeder sizing, panel capacity, and transformer selection.
Step 2 — Engineering and code review Our electrical engineers review the scope against NEC, NFPA 70, and local code requirements. We identify arc flash zones, confirm grounding and bonding paths, and flag any existing violations before we start work.
Step 3 — Material procurement and conduit layout We source rated conductors, conduit, breakers, and switchgear from trusted manufacturers. Our foreman lays out raceway routes, pull boxes, and junction box locations to minimize bends and maximize wire pull efficiency.
Step 4 — Installation and termination Journeymen pull wire, bend conduit, mount panels, and terminate conductors. Every connection gets torqued to spec. Every ground and bond gets verified with a megger before we move forward.
Step 5 — Testing, commissioning, and certification We test each circuit with a voltage tester, clamp meter, and multimeter. We energize systems in sequence, verify phase rotation, and confirm breaker coordination. We label every panel, tag every circuit, and deliver documentation for your records.

FAQs About Industrial Electrical Services
What are industrial electrical services?
Industrial electrical services cover the installation, repair, maintenance, and upgrade of electrical systems in manufacturing plants, warehouses, processing facilities, and heavy commercial buildings. That includes three-phase power distribution, motor wiring, switchgear, transformers, PLCs, VFDs, and arc flash compliance work.
When do I need a licensed industrial electrician?
Any time you’re adding new machinery, upgrading a service entrance, replacing switchgear, or troubleshooting a fault on a three-phase system, you need a licensed master electrician or journeyman. DIY work on industrial systems violates NEC, voids equipment warranties, and creates serious arc flash and electrocution risk.
Why does industrial electrical work cost more than residential?
Industrial systems operate at higher voltages, carry heavier loads, and require code-compliant materials rated for harsh environments. Conductors, conduit, switchgear, and motor control centers are more expensive than residential components. The labor also requires more training, specialized tools, and safety protocols like lockout/tagout and arc flash PPE.
How does Kochs Electric handle emergency industrial electrical repairs?
We respond to emergency calls for faults, tripped breakers, damaged conductors, and failed equipment. Our crew arrives with voltage testers, clamp meters, and replacement materials to diagnose and repair the problem fast. We de-energize safely, isolate the fault, and restore power with minimal production downtime. We provide expert emergency electrical repair services and efficient solutions to get your facility back online quickly – because unplanned outages are crucial to address before they halt your entire operation.
Can Kochs Electric wire a new industrial facility from the ground up?
Yes. We handle full electrical construction for new industrial builds, including service entrance installation, transformer and switchgear commissioning, feeder and branch circuit wiring, motor control center setup, and control panel integration. We coordinate with your general contractor and utility provider from permit to final inspection.
Does Kochs Electric perform arc flash studies?
Yes. We conduct arc flash studies, calculate incident energy levels, establish arc flash boundaries, and label every panel and switchgear enclosure with the correct PPE category. That documentation keeps your workers safe and your facility compliant with NFPA 70E.
