At Eaton, it’s important to keep workers and equipment safe. Arc flashes can cause injuries, lawsuits, fines, equipment damage, facility downtime and lost production. That’s why we design all of our products with worker and equipment safety in mind.

We also provide safety training to help keep workers safe, including:

  • Electrical safety training
  • Arc flash hazard analysis
  • Arc flash hazard training
  • Grounding studies
  • Performance-based maintenance (PBM)
  • Coordination and short circuit studies

Eaton is also a platinum-level contributor to the Arc Flash Collaborative Research Project organized by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) to expand the knowledge of electric arc flash phenomena and enhance worker safety.

Arc flash hazard analysisArc flash hazard analysis
Eaton engineers will perform an arc flash hazard analysis of the power system and quantify the release of thermal energy associated with potential arc flash hazards. They will then describe safety recommendations in order to protect workers and equipment based on the analysis.

Safety trainingSafety training
Eaton offers training for workers to teach them how to spot danger and avoid it. With this knowledge, workers can do a better job of protecting themselves.

Grounding study servicesGrounding study services
Eaton engineers analyze the grounding in a circuit and offer recommendations for equipment that will help avoid damage to nearby equipment and reducing the risk of personal injury.

Moeller Control ProductsSafety technology - control products
Safety technologies for machines and systems in accordance with the international standards EN ISO 13849-1 and IEC 62061.

Fire Pump ControllersFire Pump Controllers
When there's a call to start a fire pump in an emergency situation, you need a fire pump controller that you can count on to start every time, without fail - because life safety depends on it.

EDR-3000 protective relayProtective Relays
The Eaton EDR, EMR and ETR families of protective relays reduce arc flash energy levels while providing sophisticated protection features that can alarm and trip circuits to minimize problems.

Metal-enclosed switch and breaker combinationMetal-enclosed switch and breaker combination (MSB)
The MSB offers primary transformer protection and secondary bus protection in one 15 kV class primary metal-enclosed assembly, providing a safe way to rack low voltage breakers in and out without shutting down the entire assembly.

DC molded-case circuit breakerCircuit protection
Zone Selective Interlocking deactivates the preset delay on the circuit breaker closest to the fault, which then trips with no intentional delay. This reduces the amount of time current flows and the amount of arc flash energy and stress the system encounters during fault conditions, resulting in improved personal protection and prolonged equipment life.

Ampgard AR motor control centerAmpgard AR motor control center (MCC)
This unique isolation switch design disconnects the starter from the medium voltage source in the rear arc chamber, not in the front starter compartment—protecting workers in the event of an arc flash.

Low voltage switchgearArc Resistant Low voltage switchgear
The equipment of this switchgear is robust enough to contain the high pressure and heat present during an arc flash event. If arcing occurs, the doors of the switchgear remain closed and the vents sealed off-protecting the operator from contact with the arc.

FlashGard motor control centerFlashGard motor control center
This MCC lowers the probability of the creation of a short circuit phase-to-phase or phase-to-ground fault, lowering the possibility of an arc flash event.

Arcflash Reduction Maintenance SystemArcflash Reduction Maintenance System
This unit utilizes a separate analog trip circuit that provides faster interruption times than the standard (digital) “instantaneous” protection, improving safety by providing a reliable method to reduce fault-clearing time.

Safety switchesSafety switches
Disconnects are used when a mean of control, circuit protection and safety are needed. Switches and disconnects may be horsepower rated and are suitable for use in many applications.

Surge protection equipmentSurge protection equipment
These protection devices detect anomalies and temporarily divert surge current away from the equipment, eliminating damage to the power system.

Air conditioning disconnectAir conditioning disconnect (ACD)
An air conditioning disconnect provides positive, visible evidence of disconnecting the power source, so that an installer or maintenance person can work on the unit safely.

Ampgard remote operatorAmpgard remote operator (ARO)
The ARO enables workers to open and close the motor starter’s isolation switch through the use of a pendant pushbutton station operated up to 30 feet away.

Remote Racking and ControlRemote Racking and Control
Remote racking and control devices permit the insertion, removal and control of electrical devices while the operator is outside the flash protection boundary.

Low voltage high-resistance groundingLow voltage high-resistance grounding
High-resistance grounding can add to the safety of a grounded system while minimizing the risk of service interruption due to grounds.
