Explore Eaton’s Smart Grid Solutions for a Safer Tomorrow

Driven by extreme weather and climate change, utilities across North America are taking action and making big investments to fortify the electric grid against the threat of wildfire. Although there is not a one-size-fits-all approach to reducing wildfire risk, strategies that prioritize speed, resilience, early detection and prevention, and added intelligence are vital to harden the grid and they’re paying off—dramatically reducing risks associated with the grid itself.

Safety

Video: Control the end-of-life event failure mode to help reduce the risk of fire by using the UFP arrester system

Safety is reliant on properly maintained overcurrent protective devices and electrical equipment. Improperly maintained equipment has a higher chance of failure, increasing incident energy, which could increase the risk of damaging property or jeopardizing electrical workers.

Listicle: Power Xpert IGX compact MV Switchgear: Why choose compact switchgear

Three reasons to choose Eaton's 38 kV compact switchgear

To meet rising grid demand, we’re focusing on higher power density and reduced line loss. Our shift to 38 kV distribution systems means fewer substations and maintenance, plus lower utility rates for end users at this higher voltage. It’s efficiency and savings, delivered.
