Industrial electrical work is in a category of its own. The voltages are higher, the equipment is heavier, the consequences of error are more serious, and the regulatory requirements are more demanding. At Aura Illumination, our industrial team brings genuine expertise in three-phase and high-voltage systems, motor control, switchgear and the rigorous documentation that industrial clients require. We work alongside your engineering and maintenance teams as a trusted extension of your capability.
High-voltage and three-phase installations
From large distribution transformers and high-voltage switchrooms to three-phase motor circuits and variable-speed drives, we design and install systems that meet the full demands of your operation. Every installation is preceded by a detailed load study so that cable sizing, protection devices and switchgear ratings are correctly matched to your equipment — not undersized to save cost, not oversized to pad a budget.
We coordinate closely with network operators for new supply connections and upgrades, managing the technical submissions, metering installations and energisation hold points that can otherwise stall a project. Where demand charges are a significant cost driver, we work with your energy manager to structure supply agreements and load profiles that reduce peak demand penalties.
Motor control centres and automation panels
Motor control centres are the workhorses of industrial automation. We build, install and commission MCC panels to your exact specifications, integrating soft starters, variable frequency drives, PLC interfaces and SCADA connections as required. Our panel builders work to detailed engineering drawings and issue full as-built documentation, ITP records and test reports on completion.
Core industrial electrical capabilities
- High-voltage switchroom construction, maintenance and testing
- Three-phase power reticulation and sub-distribution systems
- Motor control centre design, build and commissioning
- Hazardous area electrical installations (Ex-rated equipment)
- Thermographic scanning and power quality analysis
Thermographic scanning is standard practice in well-managed industrial facilities. Loose connections, failing contacts and overloaded conductors generate heat long before they generate faults. We carry calibrated infrared cameras and provide detailed thermal inspection reports that your maintenance team can act on before an unplanned shutdown occurs.
Compliance, documentation and safety
Industrial electrical work in Australia is subject to strict licensing and notification requirements. We hold the relevant electrical contractor licences for high-voltage work and operate under a documented safety management system aligned with AS/NZS 4836 and the relevant state electrical safety legislation. Every project generates a complete set of as-built drawings, test records and compliance declarations. We do not cut corners on documentation because we know your insurers, auditors and regulators will ask for it.
Planned shutdowns and turnaround maintenance
Planned shutdowns are one of the most valuable windows an industrial site has. We mobilise efficiently, work to your shutdown schedule, and complete electrical maintenance, upgrades and inspections within the allotted window so production can resume on time. Our team is experienced in working within permit-to-work systems and integrated multi-trade shutdown environments.
