Practical Solutions for Machinery & Production
In an industrial environment, you need an electrician who understands more than just power—you need someone who understands the logic behind the machine. At VDH Automation & Electrical, I provide specialized support for Christchurch manufacturers and processing plants, focusing on keeping your production lines running and your equipment safe.

Reliable Machine & Control Support

I bridge the gap between heavy industrial power and the sensitive control systems that run your gear. My approach is simple: find the fault, fix the problem, and ensure the system is documented for the future.

• Machine Fault Finding & Repairs: I specialize in troubleshooting complex electrical and control faults. If a machine is down, I’ll work through the circuitry and logic to find the “why” and get you back online.
• PLC Support & Modifications: Practical PLC programming and troubleshooting. Whether you need a sensor added, a sequence tweaked, or help diagnosing a controller error, I can help manage the “brain” of your machinery.
• Control Panel Wiring & Builds: From small component replacements to building custom control panels from scratch, I ensure all wiring is tidy, labeled, and built to last.
• Electrical Schematics & Documentation: I can provide clear, accurate drawings and as-built documentation. Having a proper schematic saves hours of guesswork during the next breakdown.
• Machine Upgrades & Retrofits: If your machine is mechanically sound but the controls are failing, I can retrofit modern components and safety circuits to extend the life of your investment.
• Motor Control & VSDs: Experience with Variable Speed Drives (VSDs) and motor starters—setup, tuning, and troubleshooting to keep your motors running efficiently.
• Industrial Power & Maintenance: General industrial wiring, 3-phase power distribution, and preventative maintenance to catch small issues before they become expensive breakdowns.
