Commercial and industrial electrician
Motor controls, drives, 480 volt distribution, transformers and equipment hookups for manufacturing, processing, warehouse and shop floors, planned around your production schedule. Licensed by TDLR and insured for commercial work.
What we install and maintain
The difference is the equipment. An industrial electrician works on motor controls and variable frequency drives, 480 volt distribution, transformers, equipment hookups and shutdown maintenance, planned around production. A commercial electrician serves restaurants, offices, medical suites and retail. Wattsmith does both, and installs arc flash labels from the engineer's study rather than performing the study.
Starters, motor control circuits and variable frequency drives for pumps, fans, conveyors and process equipment, installed to the equipment's drawings and NEC Article 430, with the disconnects where the code requires them.
Feeders, panelboards and switchboards at 480 volts, and the step-down transformers that serve 208Y/120 volt loads, installed under NEC Article 450 for transformers and coordinated with CPS Energy where the service is involved.
Power to new machines, compressors, ovens, chargers and process lines from the manufacturer's sheets: the voltage, the phase, the circuit size and the connection, ready before the equipment lands.
High bay LED lighting with controls the energy code calls for, laid out so the work surfaces and aisles are lit where people work.
NEC 110.16 calls for arc flash warning labels on equipment that is likely to be worked on while energized. The figures on a detailed label come from an arc flash study, which is engineering work done by a qualified engineer. We install the labels the study produces and keep the equipment as the study modeled it.
Grounding and bonding of the service, the equipment and the structure under NEC Article 250, checked and corrected where a plant has grown piece by piece.
Planned shutdowns are when connections get torqued, gear gets cleaned and inspected, and changes get made. We plan the work list with you ahead of time so the line comes back on schedule.

Straight answers. If you do not see yours, call us and ask.
No. An arc flash study is engineering work done by a qualified engineer. We install the labels the study produces, and we flag equipment changes that mean the study should be updated.
