How to store energy with smart circuit breakers

How do Eaton smart Breakers work?

Eaton smart breakers deliver smart, simple and sustainable power—with the safety functionality of traditional circuit breakers and so much more. Through cloud connectivity, you can monitor and control loads inside the home, including electric vehicle chargers, energy storage systems and other distributed energy resources.

Why should you use a smart circuit breaker?

Fast data transfer. Energy data needs to be efficiently collected to be analyzed. Smart circuit breakers now offer direct connection to Ethernet networks, delivering the fast data transfer needed by service teams to access the large amount of power, energy, and equipment status information now available. Supported by analytics.

How does a smart breaker work?

Users can perform real-time remote control, adjust values, set schedules, and develop plans using the information parameters. Unlike traditional circuit breakers that require on-site operation and multiple electrical devices to gather fault information, the smart breaker allows for seamless remote control.

Why is Eaton reimagining the circuit breaker?

So we reimagined the circuit breaker—used nearly everywhere there’s electricity. Eaton’s smart breakers are an easy way to add control and monitoring with a simple installation. The result is a staggering transformation that makes it easier and faster to build energy systems that can support new requirements and lower energy costs.

What devices can be connected to a smart circuit breaker?

Generally, any electrical device connected to a traditional circuit breaker can be connected to a smart circuit breaker. This includes devices such as lights, ceiling fans, air conditioners, heaters, refrigerators, and washing machines. Can I control a smart circuit breaker remotely using a smartphone or other device?

How do I control a smart circuit breaker from a remote location?

You can control the opening or closing of the smart circuit breaker from a remote location using the app. This is particularly helpful when the smart circuit breakers and connected devices are outside. This functionality enables you to conveniently manage these devices and monitor their performance away from the office.
