Power Distribution That Keeps Production Moving

Factory and manufacturing electrical services for facilities in Johnston, Iowa.

Your production line depends on electrical systems that deliver consistent power to motors, conveyors, welding equipment, and control circuits throughout your facility in Johnston. When breakers trip unexpectedly, motors fail to start, or wiring overheats under load, your manufacturing schedule falls behind and repair costs increase.

Jenson Electric, LLC. provides factory and manufacturing electrical services throughout Central Iowa, including power distribution for production equipment, system upgrades, equipment wiring, and troubleshooting of aging electrical infrastructure. We work with manufacturing clients in Johnston who need reliable electrical systems that support high-demand equipment and adapt to changing production needs. Our services include load analysis, circuit design, and modernization of outdated panels and wiring that cannot handle current equipment demands.

If your manufacturing facility in Johnston needs electrical work that reduces downtime and improves efficiency, contact us to schedule an evaluation of your current system and discuss your equipment requirements.

Manufacturing equipment requires correctly sized electrical infrastructure

We begin by measuring your existing electrical load and identifying circuits that operate near capacity in your Johnston facility. We review equipment nameplates, calculate inrush current for motors, and determine where voltage drop affects equipment performance. This data guides our design for new distribution panels, feeder circuits, and disconnect switches.

After upgrades, your equipment starts without hesitation, circuit breakers stop nuisance tripping, and production machines operate at full capacity without voltage sag. Your electrical panels stay cool under load, and equipment lifespans extend when power quality improves. We label all circuits clearly and provide updated panel schedules for your maintenance team.

We handle installations during scheduled downtime or phase work to keep portions of your facility running. Services include wiring new equipment, replacing outdated panels, and adding circuits for expanded production lines. We do not provide equipment programming, mechanical installation, or process control system design beyond electrical connections.

Common concerns from facility managers before starting work

Manufacturing managers in Johnston often ask how long electrical upgrades take, whether we can work around production schedules, and what signs indicate their electrical system needs modernization.

What causes breakers to trip repeatedly on the same circuit?
Circuits may be undersized for the equipment load, breakers may be failing internally, or multiple high-draw devices may be cycling simultaneously. We test circuits under load to identify the cause and recommend solutions based on your equipment needs.
How do you determine if wiring needs replacement?
We inspect insulation condition, measure voltage drop under load, and check for signs of overheating such as discolored insulation or burnt connections. Wiring that cannot safely carry current demand gets replaced to prevent failures.
When should we upgrade our electrical panel?
If your panel is full with no room for expansion, if breakers trip frequently, or if the panel is over twenty-five years old, upgrading improves reliability and provides capacity for future equipment additions in Johnston.
Why do motors fail to start during peak production?
Voltage sag occurs when multiple motors start simultaneously on undersized circuits. Upgrading feeder wiring or installing dedicated circuits for large motors resolves this issue and protects equipment from damage caused by low voltage.
What documentation do we receive after electrical work?
You receive updated panel schedules, circuit labels, equipment specifications, and as-built drawings showing all new wiring and connections. This documentation helps your maintenance team troubleshoot issues and plan future modifications.
