Tradition of Technical Innovation
From patenting the first AC inverter in 1962 to submitting eight new patents for the Eaton 9390 UPS, as well as DC power rectifier and battery cell measurement technology patents, Eaton has a continuing history of technical innovation. With more than 264 active patents and another 178 patents pending, we maintain a long tradition of using our technical expertise to provide customers with what they need most in a power management solution:
2014 | Eaton’s innovative ESS Plus is the first in the industry to enable large, three-phase UPSs operating in eco or energy-saving modes to mitigate harmonics, correct power factor and balance loads for increased reliability and efficiency. |
