What Is an Electrical Load Study?
An Electrical Load Study (or Load Analysis) is an engineering evaluation that measures how much power your facility currently consumes and how much capacity remains available.
Through a detailed review of your electrical infrastructure, we determine whether your system can safely accommodate new machinery, production lines, or equipment upgrades — all while ensuring compliance with the, NEC.
Understand Your Power Capacity Before You Expand
Adding new equipment or expanding operations without verifying your electrical system’s capacity can lead to costly downtime, overloads, and safety risks.
C&H Electric provides comprehensive Electrical Load Study Services that help facility managers, plant operators , and owners make informed decisions before connecting additional loads. Our studies combine precision metering, professional analysis, and code compliance — giving you the data you need to move forward confidently.
Why Your Facility Needs a Load Study
Electrical systems evolve over time. Equipment is added, moved, or replaced — but documentation often doesn’t keep up. Without an accurate load study, you’re essentially guessing how much equipment load your facility can handle – and where that load can be accommodated within the building or distribution system.
