Heavy-duty power and control at scale

Industrial electrical installations operate in environments where the consequence of a fault is not an inconvenient outage — it is a production shutdown, a safety incident, or both simultaneously. Apex Current Solutions brings the technical depth, WHS rigour, and project management maturity that heavy industry demands. Our industrial division works across manufacturing plants, food processing facilities, warehouses, logistics hubs, mining services sites, and water treatment infrastructure, delivering high-voltage and low-voltage power systems, motor control, switchgear, and machine wiring that perform reliably under sustained industrial loading.

All industrial electrical work is executed under our licensed electrical contractor authorisation with industrial and high-voltage endorsements. Our electricians and project supervisors hold current high-voltage switching authority cards, confined space entry certificates, and site-specific WHS inductions as standard. We operate a documented Safe Work Method Statement and Permit to Work system aligned to AS/NZS 4801, the WHS Regulations, and client-specific safety management systems. No Apex Current Solutions supervisor begins a shutdown or energised-work task without a signed, independently reviewed SWMS in hand.

High-Voltage & Three-Phase Power Distribution

Industrial sites routinely operate at 11kV, 22kV, or 33kV primary distribution, stepping down to LV through purpose-built substations. Our teams design and install HV switchgear, ring-main units, package substations, and LV main switchboards to AS/NZS 61439, AS/NZS 60076, and the relevant network distributor specifications. Three-phase LV distribution — including busduct systems, cable trays, armoured cable, and Type 2 surge protection — is engineered for current-carrying capacity, voltage drop, and fault level compliance with AS/NZS 3000 Wiring Rules. Every HV installation concludes with independent commissioning testing, including insulation resistance, power factor, and protection relay testing using NATA-traceable test equipment.

Motor Control, Switchgear & PLC/Machine Wiring

• Motor Control Centre design, supply, and installation to AS/NZS 61439-2
• Soft-starter, VFD/VSD, and direct-on-line motor starter circuits for pumps, fans, conveyors, and compressors
• PLC and SCADA wiring to OEM specifications, including field instrument loops and analogue/digital I/O
• HV switchgear: ring-main units, circuit breakers, and protection relay testing and commissioning
• Planned shutdown packages and preventative maintenance programmes with zero-harm site controls

Motor control is the heartbeat of industrial production. Apex Current Solutions designs and builds Motor Control Centres — from compact wall-mounted starters to multi-section 2000A MCC lineups — and commissions every contactor, overload relay, VSD, and soft-starter to manufacturer specifications and your process requirements. We are experienced in Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Schneider Electric, and ABB PLC platforms, providing machine wiring, I/O loop checking, and functional acceptance testing as part of our commissioning scope. Where OEM machine wiring documentation is incomplete or non-compliant with AS/NZS 3000, we issue a formal compliance gap report and remediation proposal before sign-off.

Planned Shutdowns & Preventative Maintenance

In industrial settings, time is measured in production tonnage, units per hour, and contracted delivery schedules. An unplanned electrical failure during peak production carries a cost that dwarfs the price of a properly resourced maintenance programme. Apex Current Solutions delivers planned shutdown packages — scoped, sequenced, and resourced months in advance — and preventative maintenance contracts that combine thermographic infrared scanning to AS/NZS 62923, insulation resistance testing, switchboard internal inspection, and torque checks on all isolators and busbars. Findings are documented, risk-rated, and presented to site management with prioritised remediation recommendations.

If your facility requires a licensed, safety-accredited industrial electrical contractor capable of delivering at scale — from a single machine relocation to a full HV substation replacement — Apex Current Solutions has the technical capability, the personnel, and the proven systems to get it done safely.
