Industrial Temporary Power - Western North Carolina

Industrial Temporary Power & Power Distribution in Western North Carolina

Temporary Electrical Infrastructure for Industrial Facilities

Industrial facilities cannot always stop operating simply because electrical work is underway.

Planned shutdowns, facility expansions, equipment installations, service upgrades and major maintenance projects may require temporary electrical infrastructure to keep critical operations supported while permanent systems are modified.

Kilowatt Electric provides industrial temporary power and temporary electrical distribution solutions throughout Asheville, Arden and Western North Carolina.

Our electricians work with facility managers, engineers, general contractors, equipment suppliers and generator providers to install temporary electrical systems based on the operational and electrical requirements of the facility.

Kilowatt Electric LLC has served Western North Carolina since 2009. We are licensed and insured, NCBELC #28530.

TEMPORARY POWER FOR INDUSTRIAL OPERATIONS

Industrial temporary power can serve several purposes.

It may help support equipment and critical systems while:

  • Electrical services are upgraded
  • Distribution equipment is replaced
  • New machinery is installed
  • Production areas are renovated
  • Facilities are expanded
  • Maintenance work is performed
  • Permanent feeders are replaced
  • Electrical systems are reconfigured
  • Planned shutdowns are underway
  • Generator systems are being integrated

Every industrial facility has different electrical requirements, which is why temporary power should be planned around the specific loads and equipment involved.

Temporary Power Distribution

Industrial temporary power frequently requires more extensive distribution than a typical construction site.

Kilowatt Electric can install temporary electrical infrastructure to route power where it is needed throughout the facility.

Depending on the application, this may include:

Temporary feeders can move electrical power from the available source to equipment, panels or work areas.

Panels can provide multiple temporary circuits and allow power to be distributed throughout the facility.

Disconnects may be required for temporary equipment or distribution systems.

Temporary branch circuits can provide dedicated power for specific equipment or operational requirements.

A generator may serve as the temporary electrical source when utility or facility power is unavailable.

Kilowatt Electric can provide the electrical wiring necessary to distribute generator power through temporary equipment.

Industrial generators are frequently supplied by:

  • Equipment rental companies
  • Generator suppliers
  • General contractors
  • Facility owners
  • Emergency power contractors
  • Other project partners

Kilowatt Electric provides the electrical wiring and connections required to integrate the generator with temporary power distribution or facility electrical infrastructure.

This may include:

  • Generator feeder wiring
  • Generator output connections
  • Temporary distribution connections
  • Transfer equipment connections
  • Disconnect installation
  • Grounding and bonding
  • Conduit
  • Temporary panels
  • Equipment circuits

Kilowatt Electric’s role is the electrical connection and power distribution associated with the generator.

 

Planned shutdowns are often necessary when industrial electrical infrastructure needs major maintenance or replacement.

Temporary power can sometimes support selected operations while permanent systems are offline.

Kilowatt Electric can assist with electrical planning for projects involving:

  • Switchgear replacement
  • Panel replacement
  • Service upgrades
  • Feeder replacement
  • Equipment relocation
  • Distribution upgrades
  • Transformer-related projects
  • Facility renovations
  • Large equipment installations

The goal is to coordinate the temporary electrical system around the facility’s operational needs and project schedule.

Industrial equipment projects may require temporary power before permanent feeders and distribution equipment are complete.

Temporary power can help support:

  • Equipment setup
  • Controls
  • Testing
  • Commissioning
  • Construction tools
  • Installation equipment
  • Auxiliary systems
  • Maintenance equipment

Once permanent electrical infrastructure is complete, Kilowatt Electric can transition the equipment to its permanent supply.

Facility expansions often combine active operations with ongoing construction.

Kilowatt Electric can provide temporary electrical infrastructure to support:

  • New production areas
  • Warehouse expansions
  • Manufacturing additions
  • Mechanical equipment
  • Temporary work areas
  • Construction crews
  • Temporary lighting
  • Equipment installation teams

Temporary distribution can be adjusted as the expansion progresses.

Many industrial loads require three-phase power.

Where available and appropriate for the project, Kilowatt Electric can install temporary electrical infrastructure for three-phase equipment.

This may include temporary connections for:

  • Motors
  • Machinery
  • Pumps
  • HVAC equipment
  • Process equipment
  • Testing equipment
  • Industrial tools
  • Temporary production equipment

Electrical requirements are evaluated individually based on voltage, amperage and equipment specifications.

Temporary Power Planning

Industrial temporary power should be planned around the actual electrical system.

Before work begins, our electricians may review:

  • Available voltage
  • Required voltage
  • Electrical load
  • Equipment amperage
  • Three-phase requirements
  • Generator specifications
  • Existing distribution equipment
  • Feeder distances
  • Panel locations
  • Disconnect requirements
  • Grounding
  • Conduit routing
  • Equipment locations
  • Operational schedules
  • Shutdown windows
  • Project duration

A well-planned temporary electrical system helps avoid improvised solutions that can interfere with operations or create unnecessary electrical risks.

Our Industrial Temporary Power Process

We review the facility’s electrical infrastructure and the project’s temporary power requirements.

2. Determine Available Power Sources

Temporary power may be supplied from:

  • Existing facility electrical systems
  • Utility service
  • Temporary generators
  • Dedicated temporary electrical equipment

3. Plan Temporary Distribution

Our electricians determine how power will be distributed to the required equipment and work areas.

4. Coordinate With the Project Team

  • Electrical service damage
  • Equipment failures
  • Storm-related electrical damage
  • Emergency generator connections
  • Temporary power during repairs

Emergency temporary power options depend on the facility and available electrical infrastructure.
