The Internet of Things (IoT) has the potential to have a transformative impact on data centers, according to Gartner. Circuit breakers that can talk are part of that story. Transforming the basic electric system component with embedded communications, sensors, and analytics gives data center operators more insight into their power system.

With 1% metering accuracy, breaker health monitoring, and integrated communications, the Power DefenseTM molded case circuit breakers will help customers master power capabilities and safety systems that enable uninterrupted operations in a variety of applications, including commercial construction, data center, and industrial projects.

Eaton’s new Pow-R-Line XD switchboard features a compact design that enhances safety and reduces downtime with improved breaker change-out capability.

Available in 150- and 125-A capacities, this product is suited for HVACR applications.

ABB presents a new generation of miniature circuit breakers (MCBs) for electrical equipment that provides higher levels of strength, performance and savings, while remaining compliant with the UL 1077 standard.

CALIENT Technologies, Inc. and Phoenix Datacom have announced a collaboration to deliver CALIENT’s S-Series Optical Circuit Switch family to the U.K. market.

Schneider Electric has released updates to three products in the PowerPact™ line of circuit breakers, including the PowerPact with Micrologic™ , PowerPact Mission Critical in two new sizes

Wild fires ravage communities across 15 states, 10 inches of rain fall in a few hours, drought lays waste to vast areas of the country, tornado season starts a month early, the most named storms strike in the month of June with Tropical Storm Debby

Russelectric’s medium-voltage (5 to 15 kV) circuit breaker-type transfer switches and bypass/isolation switches are UL tested, listed, and labeled under UL 1008A, making them suitable for use in legally required emergency power systems.

The problem with mission-critical emergency systems is that failures only occur when the systems are called upon to operate.
