Eaton’s Power Defense Breaker Series

Circuit breakers aren’t sexy, but they are a critical component in process infrastructure. When/if they fail, you have big headaches and potentially costly downtime. Environmental factors such as excessive temperature, moisture, dust, chemical vapor, and vibration can all have a major effect on the health of the breaker. Further, if the circuit breaker has been in service for a long period, or has not been properly maintained, and subjected to excessive environmental and overcurrent conditions, it is difficult to know with confidence that the device is capable of performing its intended functions. How do you know with confidence which MCCBs (or another type of circuit breaker) needs to be serviced? How do you avoid investing the time and resources to inspect all circuit breakers to identify the equipment that needs to be replaced or serviced? Eaton’s new Power Xpert® Release (PXR) trip units are a step change improvement over traditional breaker inspection procedures, as they provide powerful data analytics and predictive diagnostics of MCCBs and LVPCBs. This critical information can be used to make more informed decisions about actual equipment conditions. These intelligent circuit breakers can display an easy-to-understand data summary of the breaker’s full health that can be easily leveraged by a customer or maintenance person.
