With energy systems changing fast, there are new opportunities to manage how electricity is used and optimised. Count on our technologies and expertise to modernise and develop power infrastructure for a new era.
Metals are a foundational building block for the world’s current transition to more sustainable technologies. However, processing plants run continuously and are energy intensive. On average, it takes 770 kilowatts (kWh) of power to produce a ton of steel, roughly the equivalent of what it takes to power a home for a month in the USA. So adopting proven strategies to protect people and processes, curtail consumption and reduce emissions can have a big impact.
Since the dawn of modern metals and steel processing, our solutions have formed the backbone of a safe, reliable and efficient electricity supply – enhancing safety, increasing uptime and delivering operational efficiencies. Today you can also take advantage of our deep expertise and product portfolio to reduce emissions and energy costs, digitalise, and advance cybersecurity.
Materials processing involves massive amounts of heat and energy often in highly explosive environments where safety is paramount and complex. Electrical safety has always remained at the core of our business, and our solutions, expertise and training programmes have helped support reliable power for more than a century.
Our technologies deliver the protection you need today and in the years to come. Breakout arc flash safety solutions can help keep people outside the arc flash boundary, reduce incident energy levels and quench an arc flash far faster than traditional approaches. And our Crouse-Hinds series technology provides explosion-proof lighting and enclosures to support reliable operation for our power distribution equipment in the harshest and most hazardous conditions. We also can provide the training and education you need to advance workplace arc flash safety and cybersecurity in your operational environments.
Reducing emissions and managing electrical usage is essential to improving the bottom line. And there are new ways to enable more sustainable, efficient production.
Count on our electrical technologies and expertise to help you electrify, digitalise and decarbonise. With our electrical power monitoring software you can track energy usage and identify anomalies within the production environment – from the furnace to shaping and forming – that contribute to inefficient energy use or equipment failure. Our microgrid controller provides the intelligent transfer schemes needed to incorporate more clean energy to your mix while strengthening the resiliency of your infrastructure and helping lower energy bills. Plus, our digital tools customised for industrial operation can help you monitor the broader production ecosystem, so you can identify and correct anomalies, plug energy leaks and reduce energy usage.
With energy systems and codes and standards changing fast, more technical knowhow is needed and education programmes are critical.
Take advantage of our decades of power management experience, codes and standards knowledge and deep investments in specialised learning environments at our Eaton Experience Centres to prepare your organisation for the challenges of today and tomorrow. From in-depth application engineering and electric code curriculum to real-world experiential learning, we can provide hands-on education in person and remotely to help you keep up with the latest industry best practices and innovations.
