At B&D Industrial, our Electrical Applications Engineering team brings decades of real-world expertise to your toughest motor, drive, and power challenges. From industrial diagnostics to complex system optimization, we specialize in helping facilities operate smarter, safer, and more efficiently — especially where motors and drives are concerned.
Whether you’re experiencing unexpected drive failures, facing rising energy costs, or planning a system upgrade, our certified electrical engineers work hands-on with your team to solve problems and optimize performance.
We don’t just sell components — we engineer complete, customized solutions to keep your operations running strong.
Fast, accurate, and reliable fault detection is at the heart of what we do.
Our engineers specialize in identifying the root causes of electrical issues — from recurring drive failures to erratic motor behavior. Using advanced testing and diagnostics tools, we evaluate your entire electrical system to prevent costly downtime and improve equipment longevity.
Common Issues We Resolve:
Proper configuration of Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) is essential for safe and reliable performance.
We offer turnkey VFD commissioning — including programming, startup, load testing, and verification — tailored to your specific application. Whether it's a fan, pump, or a more complex load, we ensure your drive system is optimized for performance and longevity.
ABB Drives Expertise:
Choosing the wrong motor or drive can result in inefficiencies, equipment stress, or complete failure. Our engineers help you correctly spec and size both motors and drives based on real application data, load profiles, and duty cycles. We eliminate guesswork — and design with performance, energy usage, and lifespan in mind.
Did you know that up to 45% of industrial power consumption comes from pump and fan loads? Our team specializes in retrofitting and optimizing these systems using VFDs, updated motor technologies, and intelligent controls. We help customers uncover quick wins that save money and reduce energy waste — often with short payback periods.
For high-resistance load applications, we support the full integration and configuration of ABB’s DCT880 DC Drives, ideal for process heaters, extruders, and other demanding systems. This includes programming, panel design support, and protection solutions to maximize uptime and safety.
We support transformer sizing, specification, and integration for both control systems and larger power distribution needs.
From control transformers to isolation transformers, we ensure proper voltage management, safety, and clean power delivery to critical systems.
We Support:
Poor power factor and harmonic distortion are silent killers of motor and drive systems. If your drives are consistently failing — especially over weekends or during production spikes — chances are your power quality is to blame. Our team specializes in correcting these issues at the source.
