VITOK’s Electrical and Power Engineering group brings over 100 years of combined experience in industrial power systems. We offer a full engineering service suite to design new power systems or evaluate, audit, and modify existing ones. Every VITOK power design begins with a rigorous evaluation of your existing site infrastructure and an analysis of what your power requirements will be in the future.
We utilize single-line documentation, utility usage data, on-site investigation, and arc flash analysis to assess existing power capacity and ensure all modifications are implemented safely and in compliance with applicable electrical codes. The result is a safe fully coordinated power system design that maximizes energy efficiency without compromising process requirements.
Capabilities
Core Electrical Engineering Services
Power Distribution Systems
Design of medium- and low-voltage distribution systems including feeders, panelboards, transformers, and bus duct — sized and configured for process demands and future growth.
Emergency power & backup systems
Standby generator systems, UPS design, automatic transfer switch (ATS) coordination, and load-shedding schemes to keep critical processes online during utility outages.
Motor control centers (MCC)
Specification and design of MCCs, variable frequency drives (VFDs), soft-starters, and combination starters — coordinated with process equipment lists and automation requirements.
Switchgear design
Medium-voltage and low-voltage switchgear lineup design, including protective relay coordination studies, short-circuit analysis, and breaker sizing.
Lighting design
Interior and exterior lighting layouts, emergency egress lighting, hazardous location lighting selection, and photometric analysis for industrial and commercial facilities.
Custom power panels
Design of custom panel schedules, specialty control panels, and power distribution units tailored to process-specific requirements that standard catalog equipment cannot address.
Building electrical systems
Complete building electrical design including service entrance, branch circuits, receptacle layouts, grounding and bonding, and coordination with mechanical systems.
Arc flash risk assessment
IEEE 1584-compliant arc flash studies, incident energy labeling, PPE category determination, and recommendations for engineering controls to reduce exposure.
Cross-Disciplinary Integration
Coordinated Design Across Every Discipline
Power design doesn’t exist in isolation. VITOK’s electrical engineers work shoulder-to-shoulder with our process, mechanical, and automation teams throughout every project phase. During MCC and distribution design, we share equipment lists and energy data directly with process engineers — eliminating the handoff errors that cause costly rework. Our automation team provides motor lists and I/O requirements that feed directly into our electrical design, so conduit routing, cabinet sizing, and load calculations are right the first time.
Specialized Services
Additional Electrical Engineering Expertise
Safety
Hazardous Area Classification
NEC 500/505 area classification drawings, equipment selection guidance, and documentation packages for facilities handling flammable or combustible materials.
Studies
Short-circuit & coordination studies
System-wide fault current calculations and protective device coordination to ensure selective tripping, equipment protection, and NEC compliance.
Efficiency
Load flow & energy analysis
Demand analysis, power factor correction, and harmonic evaluation to identify efficiency improvements and reduce utility costs across industrial facilities.
Documentation
Single-line diagram development
Creation and as-built updating of facility single-line diagrams–the foundational document of every power system evaluation, expansion, or modification.
Construction
Electrical construction support
RFI responses, submittal reviews, field issue resolution, and periodic site visits to keep electrical installations aligned with design intent through commissioning.
Upgrades
Existing facility assessments
Condition assessments of aging electrical infrastructure, capacity studies for plant expansions, and upgrade planning for facilities with undocumented or outdated systems.
Our Approach
How We Evaluate and Design Every Power System
01
Site Power Evaluation
Single-line documentation, utility usage review, and on-site investigation to establish a baseline of existing capacity.
02
Arc Flash Analysis
Detailed arc flash studies to quantify incident energy and define protection boundaries before any design work proceeds.
03
System
Design
Power distribution, MCC, switchgear, lighting, and emergency backup systems designed in coordination with process and mechanical teams.
04
Code Compliance & Delivery
Final designs reviewed against all applicable NEC and facility-specific codes, with full documentation for construction and commissioning.
