Improve machine uptime with digital RCDs

Especially in difficult environments like high humidity, water, dirt or dust, the risk of residual currents that may affect the production increases. An RCD can safely switch off power in case of a critical situation and help avoid further damage to inventory. A trip in the middle of the day can cause longer production outages, while the problem is found and eliminated. Advanced digital RCDs offer local and remote monitoring and pre-warning capabilities. Based on this information, the maintenance team can easily determine preventative maintenance activities, removing problems before the operation is affected.

When Airlight Energy decided on Eaton as their supplier for the devices to protect their cables and circuits from overcurrents and short circuits, it was because the quality and overall performance of the package met the requirements of the demanding target application.

The availability of international approvals for the complete product package, in combination with Eaton's worldwide presence was another factor in the decision. Easy access to spare parts and local support, even in remote locations, would enable Airlight Energy's global export plans.
