Eaton is a leader in power distribution
Eaton integrates its vacuum technology, design achievements, and more than a century of rich experience of Westinghouse, Cutler-Hammer and Holec.
Eaton has been engaging in circuit breaker manufacturing for more than eight decades. Over the past eight decades, Eaton has been a leader in the global circuit breaker market in terms of technology and philosophy. Nowadays, the green world has strict requirements on medium voltage power switching. Lowered resistance system configuration has imposed stricter requirements on current continuity and breaking capacity. The requirements on compactness and cooling are getting higher and higher. The most ideal solution is a medium voltage circuit breaker that is environment friendly and capable to switch on/off large currents reliably, and does not need unreliable cooling or forced air cooling.
Eaton had been engaging in vacuum interrupter R&D in the 1920s and developing commercial vacuum circuit breakers in the 1960s. So far, it has accumulated more than 70 years of experience in the design and manufacture of circuit breakers and switch cabinets.
