Eaton’s products and services span a wide range of applications for utility-, mid- and small-scale wind. As a single-source provider, Eaton can meet your needs for both electrical and hydraulic applications for wind turbines and wind farms.

We deliver these solutions for our clients around the globe with three overriding values in mind:

• Reliability • Efficiency • Safety

Electrical solutions for utility-scale wind

Electrical nacelle solutions

Wind turbine manufacturers need compact and reliable products to meet current and future demands for energy production. Eaton’s wind turbine electrical solutions meet those needs by offering UL and CSA power protection that can withstand harsh climates.

For power conversion system manufacturers, Eaton’s products can pack more power within smaller packages. Through its suite of circuit breakers, air power breakers, vacuum contactors and drives, Eaton can reduce the size and increase the reliability of power conversion systems.

Eaton’s nacelle-focused electrical solutions are in the following categories:

Power conversion components

• Low voltage air power breakers

• Low voltage molded case circuit breakers

• Medium voltage vacuum circuit breakers

• Low voltage and medium voltage vacuum contactors

• Low voltage and medium voltage drives

Wind turbine sensors

• Sensors

Metering and monitoring

• Power Xpert
