Powering production. From factory refits and machinery installation to high-voltage distribution, we provide robust electrical engineering for Norfolk’s industrial sector.
In an industrial environment, electricity is the lifeblood of your operation. If a motor fails, a conveyor stops, or a distribution board overheats, production halts—and every minute of downtime costs you money. You need an electrical partner who understands the high-stakes nature of manufacturing, processing, and warehousing.
At Yare Electrical, we go beyond standard wiring. We are specialists in 400V Three-Phase Systems and heavy industrial infrastructure. Whether you are building a new food processing plant, relocating heavy machinery, or upgrading your LV switchgear, our fully qualified engineers deliver solutions that are safe, compliant, and built to withstand the harshest environments.
Minimise Your Downtime
Heavy-Duty Electrical Infrastructure
Industrial sites require robust power backbones. We design and install systems capable of handling high currents and mechanical stress.
LV Distribution & Switchgear
The distribution board is the heart of your factory. We install high-capacity Panel Boards and Busbar Trunking Systems that distribute power efficiently across large floors. We ensure your switchgear is correctly rated (KA rating) to handle fault currents, and we install Power Factor Correction (PFC) units to reduce your reactive power usage and lower your energy bills.
Cable Containment & Support
In a factory, cables cannot be hidden in walls. They must be accessible but protected. We are experts in installing industrial steel containment systems:
- Heavy Duty Cable Ladder: For carrying large armoured (SWA) sub-main cables.
- Cable Tray & Basket: For flexible distribution of data and small power.
- Metal Conduit & Trunking: Providing mechanical protection against impact from forklifts or machinery.
Machinery Installation & Relocation
You can’t just plug a CNC machine or a printing press into a wall socket. We provide a full “hook-up” service for fixed industrial plant equipment.
We work with your machine manufacturers (OEMs) to provide the exact supply required, whether that is a 63A three-phase supply, a dedicated neutral, or specific earthing arrangements to prevent noise interference. We install local Rotary Isolators and Emergency Stops to ensure operators can work safely.
Food Processing & Washdown Areas
Norfolk has a thriving food and agriculture sector. We understand the unique challenges of hygiene-critical environments.
We install IP66 and IP67 Rated fittings that can withstand high-pressure washdowns and caustic cleaning chemicals. We use stainless steel containment to prevent rust and contamination, ensuring your facility meets BRC (British Retail Consortium) and food hygiene standards.
Industrial Lighting: High Bay & Emergency
Lighting a warehouse with 10-metre ceilings requires specialist fittings. We upgrade dull, energy-hungry Sodium or Metal Halide lamps to instant-start LED High Bays.
- Energy Savings: Reduce lighting costs by up to 70%.
- Sensor Control: Microwave sensors automatically dim lights in warehouse aisles when no forklifts are present.
- Emergency Lighting: We design BS5266 compliant escape route lighting, ensuring staff can evacuate safely even in a total blackout.
Routine & Planned Maintenance
Reactive maintenance (waiting for things to break) is expensive. Planned maintenance is an investment.
We offer tailored maintenance contracts that include:
- Thermal Imaging Surveys: We scan your distribution boards to find “hot spots” (loose connections) before they burn out and cause a fire.
- EICR Testing: Rigorous periodic inspection to ensure your installation complies with the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989.
- Emergency Light Testing: Monthly flicker tests and annual duration drain tests.
Sectors We Serve
We have extensive experience working in live industrial environments across Norfolk:
Manufacturing & Engineering
From automotive workshops to fabrication plants, we provide power for welders, compressors, and lathes.
Warehousing & Logistics
We install power for roller shutter doors, dock levellers, and forklift battery charging stations.
Agriculture
We work on farms across Norfolk, installing power for grain dryers, potato stores, and irrigation pumps, using equipment designed to resist dust and moisture.
