When irrigation stops, paddocks wait. Elite Electrical Tasmania is a Sorell-based electrical contractor working with farmers and rural operators across Hobart & surrounds and southern Tasmania — centre pivots, pump stations, VSDs, and controller upgrades that keep water moving.

We focus on practical farm electrical: three-phase supply, switchboards at the shed or pump hut, pivot and pump controls, and honest upgrades to ageing gear. Owner/trade experience spanning 15+ years — local crew, clear quotes, and work scoped to your season.

Whether you run dairy, horticulture, or broadacre irrigation in the Coal River, Midlands, Huon, or Greater Hobart rural fringe, we assess what’s there and quote the electrical work that matters.

Centre pivots

Centre pivots are only as reliable as the electrical supply and control behind them. We assist with:

• Electrical supply, cabling, isolators, and protection suited to the machine and site
• Controller-related electrical works and changeovers, with make and model confirmed on site
• Fault-finding when a pivot won’t start, trips, or loses control power
• Seasonal coordination so you’re not waiting mid-irrigation

We work across common pivot setups found on southern Tasmanian farms.

Pump stations & VSDs

Pump stations are the heart of many rural systems — from a single pump to multi-pump setups.

• Pump supply and protection, in
• Pump hut or station switchboards, labelling, and tidy distribution

Harsh rural conditions mean durable terminations, weather-aware enclosures, and layouts a farm team can understand.

Controllers & telemetry

Modern irrigation benefits from clearer control — without overselling a control-room fantasy.

• Pivot and irrigation controllers — supply, install, retrofit, and electrical integration
• VSD support in the context of pump and irrigation duty, as appropriate
• Sensors and monitoring where fitted, such as flow, temperature, or vibration inputs specified for that project
• Cabling and power for telemetry or remote-visibility hardware

We do not claim national-scale SCADA delivery, enterprise PLC programming, or full plant automation by default. We’ll say plainly what is electrical scope and what sits with the irrigation OEM or tech provider.

Retrofits & upgrades

Ageing irrigation electrics are common — boards that have grown circuit-by-circuit, contactors past their best, or controllers that no longer suit the machine.

• Variable speed drive integration on existing pumps
• Pivot controller conversions and upgrades on the electrical side
• Switchboard tidy-ups, safer isolation, and labelling
• Preparing circuits for future mon

  Dairy, horticulture & broadacre

  Southern Tasmania’s farms aren’t one-size-fits-all. Electrical needs differ:

  • Dairy: shed and plant power, pumps, controllers, and three-phase distribution
  • Horticulture: pump stations, drip and spray system electrics, and polyhouse or pack-shed power as applicable
  • Broadacre: centre pivots, large pump duties, long cable runs, and seasonal start-up fault-finding

  Same contractor, same licence — scoped to how your water and power actually run.
