Power Electric is a leading Australian manufacturer of switchboards, motor control centres, control

panels, transformer kiosks and transportable switchrooms. Based in Brisbane, Australia, the companyhas established a reputation for quality and reliability, and has relationships with major Australian and

multinational companies.

Power Electric supplies varied switchboard types and styles to the mining, industrial and commercial

sectors. Our staff have practical “hands-on” backgrounds and understand what the client and installerrequire from electrical equipment installations.

The focus of our design and manufacturing team is to supply electricalequipment and systems that meet our clients’ expectations, on budget

and on time. We acknowledge that space constraints and costs must bebalanced with the provision of suitable spacing for switchgear, and safe

termination of cabling.

Power Electric’s customers include BHP Billiton, Xstrata, Wesfarmers, and Rio Tinto, and we are a

preferred supplier to dragline and mining shovel manufacturers, city councils and major electricalcontractors.

Power Electric has achieved accreditation for its Quality Management System inaccordance with the AS/NZS ISO 9001: 2008 standard.
