Frequently Asked Questions

Modular wiring is a prefabricated electrical wiring system made up of plug-together components. Instead of building circuits from scratch on-site, modular wiring uses UL-listed, pre-wired parts that quickly snap together. This method simplifies layout planning, speeds up installation, and reduces jobsite labor.

Traditional wiring requires electricians to measure, cut, strip, and connect wires on-site. Modular wiring systems, on the other hand, are manufactured off-site with preassembled connectors and cable runs. This “plug-and-play” setup reduces manual work and helps ensure consistent quality and faster installs. It also makes future layout changes much easier—components can be unplugged, rerouted, or expanded without major rework.

Modular wiring systems offer several benefits: Faster installation with fewer labor hours Cleaner layouts with less material waste Easier future modifications or expansions Pre-tested, UL-listed safety and code compliance Reduced risk of on-site wiring errors

Plug-N-Go is a modular electrical wiring system designed and manufactured by Power Built to simplify and accelerate installation. The process begins with pre-install planning, where we build the system around your facility’s actual needs. We create custom-length cable whips and plan out modular connections to match your layout—reducing wire runs, balancing circuits, and supporting more efficient power distribution. Each component is prefabricated off-site, color-coded, keyed for proper alignment, and labeled for clarity. On-site, connections are fast and secure. The system supports both switched and unswitched circuit splitting at any plug-in point, helping you adapt as your needs evolve.

At Power Built, we engineer our Plug-N-Go modular system for performance, safety, and real-world usability. Here’s what sets us apart: Fastest lead times in the industry Durable and built to last UL 183-compliant and hand-tested for reliability Supports up to 20 amps and 600 volts Keyed and color-coded for fast, error-free connections Dead-front construction for added safety Positive locking clips to prevent accidental disconnects Works with all common luminaires—recessed, pendant, surface, and downlights Adaptable and reconfigurable for layout changes and expansions Whether you’re working on a new build or a retrofit, our modular wiring solutions are built to perform in demanding industrial and commercial environments.

Modular wiring is ideal for spaces with accessible wiring infrastructure, such as open and drop ceilings. It's widely used for high bay lighting, recessed fixtures, office lighting, and nearly any type of luminaire. You’ll find modular systems in warehouses, factories, commercial offices, retail spaces, education facilities, and more.

Yes. Modular wiring is especially well-suited for industrial and commercial environments. It simplifies installation in complex layouts, supports scalable systems, and adapts easily to changes. Whether you're wiring a manufacturing plant or a commercial office, Power Built Modular Wiring provides flexibility and long-term reliability.

Yes, in many cases. While the material cost may be higher upfront, modular wiring significantly reduces labor costs by speeding up installation. It also minimizes rework and downtime, which can lead to major cost savings on the overall project—especially in labor-constrained markets. And if you need to reconfigure your space, you can easily reconfigure your existing wiring layout to match.

Power Built offers some of the fastest lead times in the modular wiring industry. Because we manufacture the Plug-N-Go system in-house, we can turn around most standard orders quickly—often in a matter of days. Lead times vary by project scope, so contact us early for scheduling.

Full construction drawings are helpful, but not always required. At minimum, we’ll need a reflected ceiling plan, fixture schedule, and information about panel location and circuit counts. If you're unsure what to send, just reach out—we’ll walk you through it.

Yes. All Plug-N-Go components are UL 183-compliant and hand-tested before shipment. This ensures every modular wiring system we provide meets national safety standards and performs reliably on the jobsite.

Our modular wiring systems support common commercial and industrial voltages, including 120V, 208V, 277V, and 480V. Let us know your system requirements, and we’ll provide components rated for your exact application.

Absolutely. Modular wiring systems like Plug-N-Go are engineered for safety, with standardized components that reduce the risk of wiring errors. All connectors are designed to prevent misalignment, and our systems meet UL 183 and NEC requirements for commercial electrical installations.

Very. Our cables and connectors are built to withstand tough industrial conditions. They’reconstructed with high-quality materials and undergo rigorous testing for performance, durability, and code compliance. Whether installed in a warehouse, factory, or commercial space, our wiring holds up to the demands of real-world use.
