Industrial Power Distribution Contractor in Cheyenne, WY

Industrial Power Distribution in Cheyenne, WY

Switchgear lineups, motor control centers, and bus retrofits engineered for continuous-duty load. We design and install three-phase distribution systems for Wyoming and Northern Colorado plants and warehouses.

Power Distribution Expertise

Distribution Built for Continuous-Duty Plants

Moonlight Electric Solutions designs and installs industrial power distribution systems for manufacturing, warehouse, and process facilities throughout Cheyenne and southeastern Wyoming. Under the leadership of master electrician Isaac Garcia, our team delivers switchgear, motor control centers, and bus duct installations engineered for the load profile, expansion plans, and reliability requirements of continuous-duty operations.

Industrial distribution is fundamentally different from commercial work. Continuous load, high short-circuit currents, and the cost of an unplanned outage all force a more disciplined design and installation process. We size every conductor and protective device against documented load data, not rules of thumb, and we coordinate every cutover around your production calendar.

Most distribution failures trace back to undersized conductors or sloppy terminations. We treat every torque value and every lug as a future failure point — and engineer it out.

Cheyenne and the surrounding industrial corridor along Interstate 80 host a growing base of manufacturing, distribution, and energy-services facilities. We serve plants near the railyards, the Cheyenne Logistics Park, and outlying agricultural processing operations across Laramie County, plus facilities in Laramie, Pine Bluffs, and northern Colorado.

Our distribution work covers new construction switchgear, MCC additions and retrofits, bus duct extensions, sub-panel additions for plant expansions, and complete service-entrance rebuilds. Every installation includes coordinated protective device settings, full panel labeling, and an as-built documentation package for your maintenance records.

Distribution Capabilities

Power Distribution Services

01

Switchgear Lineups

New low-voltage and medium-voltage switchgear lineups specified, ordered, installed, and commissioned. We coordinate with manufacturers on lead times and stage equipment to fit your shutdown window.

02

Motor Control Centers

MCC bucket additions, complete MCC retrofits, and ground-up MCC installations for new production lines. We pre-wire buckets off-site to compress field installation time.

03

Bus Duct and Bus Plug

Bus duct extensions, bus plug installations, and bus duct retorque programs. Critical for plants with frequent equipment relocations or load expansions.

04

Three-Phase Service Entrances

New 480V three-phase service entrances, service rebuilds, and capacity upgrades coordinated with Rocky Mountain Power for transformer sizing and metering.

05

Sub-Panels and Distribution Panels

Sub-panel additions for plant expansions, dedicated distribution panels for new equipment, and panel relocations to support changing floor layouts.

06

Coordination Studies and Selective Tripping

We coordinate with engineering partners on short-circuit and protective device coordination studies to ensure selective tripping and code-compliant arc-flash labeling.

Installation Process

How Distribution Projects Work

01

Load Study and Existing-Conditions Walkdown

We document existing service capacity, panel loading, and available fault current. For new loads, we collect nameplate data and operating profiles to size conductors and protective devices accurately.

02

Engineering and Equipment Specification

We produce single-line diagrams, panel schedules, and a detailed bill of materials. You receive a fixed-price proposal with equipment lead times so you can plan procurement and shutdown windows.

03

Permitting and Utility Coordination

We pull City of Cheyenne and Laramie County permits, file utility coordination paperwork with Rocky Mountain Power, and schedule any transformer or service-entrance work around your production calendar.

04

Installation, Commissioning, and As-Builts

We pre-fabricate panel assemblies off-site, execute the cutover during the agreed window, commission every breaker and feeder, and deliver an as-built documentation package for your maintenance binder.

Frequently Asked Questions

Industrial Power Distribution FAQs

Can you upgrade an existing 240V service to 480V three-phase?

Yes. Service-entrance upgrades from single-phase or 240V three-phase to 480V three-phase are a common project for us. We coordinate with Rocky Mountain Power on the transformer change-out and metering, redesign the interior distribution to match the new voltage, and stage the cutover to minimize production downtime.

How do you size new switchgear for future expansion?

We size based on documented existing load plus your stated expansion plan, with a margin for diversity and growth. Typically 25 to 40 percent spare capacity in main bus and breaker frames, plus spare distribution sections in the lineup so future feeders can be added without a complete equipment swap.

Do you handle medium-voltage work?

We handle medium-voltage service-entrance and primary metering coordination, and partner with specialized medium-voltage contractors on switchgear above 600V where the work requires their specialized PPE and tooling. We are honest about scope boundaries and bring in the right partners when needed.

What are typical lead times for new switchgear?

Industrial switchgear lead times currently range from 20 to 40 weeks depending on manufacturer and configuration. We submit equipment for fabrication immediately upon order so the lead time runs in parallel with permitting and site preparation.

Can you stage a switchgear cutover during production?

Yes, with planning. We pre-fabricate the new lineup adjacent to the existing equipment, run temporary feeders if needed, and execute the cutover during a planned shutdown window — typically a single weekend for a complete main-switchgear replacement.

Do you provide arc-flash labels with new installations?

Yes. We coordinate the arc-flash study with an engineering partner during commissioning, capture the equipment data and protective device settings the engineer needs, and install the resulting NFPA 70E hazard labels on every panelboard, MCC, and switchgear section.
