Motor controls
Starters & control equipment
Review contactors, starters, overload protection, disconnects, and related wiring for the motor application.
Control the equipment that moves you.
Commercial motor controls
Pumps, fans, compressors, and production equipment depend on both power and controls. Build the electrical scope around how the motor starts, stops, and responds to the equipment around it.
Motor controls: the work we can help with.
Control the equipment that moves you.
Motor controls
Control circuits & interlocks
Coordinate start/stop controls, permissives, and connections to the equipment control system using the project drawings.
Motor controls
Troubleshooting & replacement
Investigate control faults and component failures. Define replacement work around the existing equipment and required operating sequence.
The details that shape the project.
Before defining the work, we review how your property operates and what the equipment needs.
Document the sequence
Explain what commands the motor and what conditions must be met before it runs. Existing schematics make this review more precise.
Match the application
Motor data, duty, starting needs, and the driven equipment affect the control approach.
Agree on test responsibilities
Identify who provides process control programming and who confirms the mechanical equipment is ready to operate.
A useful starting point.
Send what you have. These details help us prepare for your motor controls project.
- Motor nameplate and controller model
- Existing wiring diagrams
- Description of the operating sequence or fault
- Equipment service contact and shutdown window
Common questions.
Do I need a starter or a VFD?
A starter handles motor starting and stopping; a variable frequency drive also controls speed. The driven load and required operation determine the appropriate approach.
Can you work with existing controls?
Existing equipment needs an assessment of condition, documentation, and available parts. The scope can then identify what is retained and what changes.
Does this include PLC programming?
Programming, process integration, and machine safety validation must be defined separately with the controls provider. They should not be assumed from an electrical installation scope.
Equipment references
Help with the cost.
Match the project address and electricity provider to the program. We can discuss the electrical scope; the program administrator confirms eligibility, available funding, and the award.

Motor & drive efficiency incentives
Equipment and application specific
PG&E lists efficiency incentives for qualifying process fan, blower, and industrial pump VFD applications. Have the program review your equipment and operating conditions before ordering. A motor repair or three-phase service installation alone does not establish eligibility.
