How to buy from Eaton

Questions before you buy

Eaton’s mission is to improve the quality of life and the environment through the use of power management technologies and services. We provide sustainable solutions that help our customers effectively manage electrical, hydraulic and mechanical power – more safely, more efficiently and more reliably. Eaton’s 2019 revenues were $21.4 billion, and we sell products to customers in more than 175 countries.

DISTRIBUTION AUTOMATION & ENERGY EFFICIENCY	Increasingly, utilities are also looking at products to manage distribution system voltages in order to reduce demand and energy consumption and achieve significant energy savings. Conservation voltage reduction (CVR) strategies reduce demand and energy consumption while maintaining customer voltage power quality per established standards. The operational benefits are improvements in energy efficiency and system voltages in the distribution system. The business benefits are a greater percentage of energy delivered to paying customers, deferment in investment in peaking generation plants and charges, and a reduction in the environmental impact of energy delivery.
3-PHASE MONITORING	Supports three-phase voltage current, power factor and harmonics monitoring points. Allows utilities to monitor and assess power quality for every utility customer and to enable automation applications.
CONTROL ALGORITHMS	Every control is a robust, feature-rich device that can be deployed as a stand-alone operating control, or a remote communicating device with local communications failsafe settings. Control algorithms include Time, Temperature, Voltage, Current, Kvar, SCADA Override and Remote operation.
DISTRIBUTED GENERATION	As distribution generation is increasing, utilities need controls that can operate correctly based on power flow and the generation source. The CBC-8000 control has a number of algorithms to address the challenging conditions distributed generation causes.
SITE-READY	The CBC-8000 control is designed to easily integrate a variety of communication radios and modems. Utilities can purchase the CBC-8000 control radio-ready or with a utility radio installed at the factory. The equipment can be preprogrammed at the factory with your utility's settings file for the ultimate in installation simplicity.
CONFIGURATION	The CBC-8000 control is a highly configurable control that can be programmed using ProView NXG configuration software, configured using the control front pane, or by Eaton’s Yukon Fleet Management application.
FLEET MANAGEMENT	Yukon IED manager suite (IMS) software fully supports the CBC-8000 control and is a perfect solution for utilities needing to manage firmware, settings and user access. Yukon IMS software improves productivity by automating processes that were previously performed by sending technicians to the field. Utilities can send and update files and perform audit logging of who accesses and modifies settings or installs firmware

OPERATING SYSTEM	Microsoft Windows 10 Windows 8.1 Windows 7 SP1 Operating System
PROCESSOR	2 GHz Intel Pentium processor (or equivalent)
RAM	2 GB
STORAGE SPACE	700 MB of free hard-disk storage space
SCREEN RESOLUTION	Monitor screen resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels (or higher)
PROVIEW NXG	The latest version of ProView NXG requires the .NET framework version 4.6, which will be installed along with ProView NXG.
