We know that factories, warehouses, powerplants and distribution centres are all big business. At KO Electrical, we also understand that this means reliable and tailored electrical solutions are critical. We offer expertise in addressing the unique challenges of industrial facilities including powering heavy machinery and equipment, managing electrical loads and optimising lighting. Our commitment lies in ensuring uninterrupted operations, scalability, and maximum efficiency of your business through appropriate specification, design, and installation.

Services include:

Power distribution and control systems

  • Transformers, switchgear, distribution panels and circuit breakers to ensure appropriate power distribution
  • Motor starters, overload protection devices and motor control centres
  • Power factor correction equipment to improve efficiency and reduce energy costs.

Electrical panel upgrades and installations

  • Capacity management to ensure current and future load sufficiency
  • Circuit overload, short circuits and fault protecting including selection of correct current rating, trip characteristics and coordination with downstream equipment
  • Monitoring and metering to track energy consumption, quality, and demand

Emergency back-up power solutions and surge protection

  • Generators, UPS units, and backup batteries ensure uninterrupted operations during power outages
  • Automatic Transfer Switches (ATS) enable seamless transition between utility and backup power, minimising downtime
  • Surge Protective Devices (SPDs) protect equipment by managing voltage fluctuations
  • Proper grounding and bonding practices provide effective paths for surge currents
  • Regular maintenance schedules for backup power systems ensure readiness and proactive identification of issues

Electrical automation

  • Integration with control and automation systems for efficient operation and monitoring
  • Selecting appropriate control systems like PLCs, DCS or SCADA for enhanced productivity and accuracy
  • Sensors provide real-time data on process variables like temperature, pressure, flow rate, level, and quality.
  • Interconnecting systems with proper networking protocols like Ethernet/IP, Modbus, Profibus, or OPC.

Lighting Solutions

  • Adequate lighting is crucial for safety and productivity in industrial settings considering factors like activity, ambience, energy efficiency, and safety standards
  • Utilise LEDs, and specialised fixtures for large areas
  • Task lighting focuses on workstations and detailed tasks, while general lighting provides overall illumination
  • Smart building automation with occupancy sensors and timer controls to monitor and adjust energy requirements and consumption based on real- time occupancy and environmental conditions

Compliance with Australian Safety Regulations

  • Knowledge and compliance of Standards Australia, and the Building Codes of Australia (NCC)
  • Guidelines and requirements for the design, installation, and maintenance of electrical systems in Australia
  • Integration of safety switches, emergency stop buttons, ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) mitigate electrical hazards for worker safety
