Power management company, Eaton expands its current industrial portfolio to include ruggedised cabinets to support the growing trend towards digitalization of process and communications and provide a safe, secure and available environment for IOT technology, automation, and big data and which is moving traditional UPS products outdoors.
Eaton’s ruggedised portfolio will ensure continuous critical back-up power to critical applications in telecommunications, transport, utilities, public services and agriculture whose data collection and processing is located in harsh environments subject to extreme weather, dust, vermin and vandals.
“Customers are now looking for an all-in-one solution that not only is backed by the engineering, expertise and application understanding, but can withstand any environment,” said Darren Salter, Telecom Solutions Manager at Eaton.
The new range of solutions cater for most applications through customisable designs and offer an Ingress Protection (IP) of 42 to 55, guaranteeing vital electronics remain protected at all times.
“Previously organisations have had to source their back-up power solutions and protective enclosures from multiple vendors, which can introduce both deployment and operational risk,” added Salter.
“As the market leader, Eaton has gained extensive experience collaborating on outdoor design and deployment projects for telecommunication, industrial plants and other sectors across Australia and New Zealand,” said John Atherton, General Manager, Power Quality at Eaton.
“Our specially designed all-in-one solutions combine Eaton’s market renowned critical power solutions with a suitably selected cabinet to provide the required protection from in-application environmental conditions, integrated with the expertise gained over years of supporting customers’ requirements in specialised environments.
