Improve machine uptime with digital RCDs

Especially in tough environments where machines are constantly exposed to humidity, water, dirt or dust, there is a high risk that residual currents may affect production. In such situations, an RCD can safely switch off the power supply and help to avoid further damage to inventory. However, tripping during the day may cause longer production outages whilst the problem is being identified and rectified. Advanced digital RCDs offer local and remote monitoring and pre-warning capabilities. Based on this information, the maintenance team can plan preventative maintenance activities, thereby eliminating any issues before they affect production.

Airlight Energy chose Eaton devices to protect its cables and circuits against overcurrents and short circuits, based on the overall service package and the high quality of our products, which made them ideally suitable for this demanding application.

Additional factors in the decision were Eaton’s global presence and the comprehensive international approvals of our products. With easy access to spare parts and local support, even in remote locations, Eaton is also able to support Airlight Energy's plans to export its systems globally.
