Keeping schools open
Without expensive permanent emergency generators, many schools are forced to close if utility power fails. Students can't attend classes, and schools aren't available as community shelters. Mobile generators are an attractive alternative and Eaton’s family of Quick Connect products allow these units to be quickly and easily connected to the school’s electrical system.

Lower energy costs
Energy costs represent 30 percent of a typical school’s operating costs. Reducing energy consumption translates directly into saving money. PowerChain Management solutions help reduce energy use with a system-wide approach to finding and implementing opportunities for energy savings.

Cost-efficient updates
Aging circuit breakers in panelboards often fail. Replacements can be expensive and hard to find. Eaton’s retrofit solution lets you replace just the interior of the panelboard, regardless of the original manufacturer. Keeping the panelboard exterior reduces the cost and time for upgrades.

Meet 21st century needs
Modern technologies such as computers and security systems, plus increased demand for lighting and air conditioning, strain the capacity of most school electrical systems; however, space for electrical rooms is often limited. Eaton’s Integrated Facility System switchboards reduce the space needed for panelboards and transformers, allowing more capacity in the existing electrical room.

Greener schools
The power that schools consume generates greenhouse gases. Less power consumption means lowering greenhouse gas emissions. Eaton solutions lead the industry in environmentally sound products that reduce energy usage.
