Circuit breakers

Smart breakers

Eaton smart breakers are an industry first – combining protective features you’d expect with the intelligence needed to enable smarter energy decisions and more flexible energy systems for homes, apartments, buildings, the grid and more. Delivering new capabilities that optimise energy use:

  • Monitor energy habits with revenue-grade metering
  • Simplify the safe integration of renewables
  • Reduce energy costs and control energy use
  • Integrate with existing infrastructure and smart home systems

  • Revenue-grade metering and DER integration: ±0.2% accurate metering as per ANSI C12.20. Export power to the grid through net metering with solar and EV charging. 
  • Load management with actionable insights: track and prioritise energy usage and get actionable insight into household loads.

  • Works with existing infrastructure and software: install within existing electrical infrastructure without a need for a back-up panel. Open APIs, powered by Brightlayer, allow flexibility to integrate with preferred software systems. 
  • Simplified demand response: enables a more efficient and less intrusive approach to demand response through the ability to control loads discretely inside a loadcentre.

  • Flexibility and control: control the smart circuit breakers and customise energy usage remotely or locally, with or without Internet connection. 
  • Future planning: access historical and real-time metering data from connected loads to generate accurate insights to be used in grid planning, energy storage optimisation, and forecasting Distributed Energy Resources (DER) deployment.

 

Open API platform

Open APIs, powered by Brightlayer, allow flexibility to integrate with preferred software systems. Our documentation provides detailed instructions of the functionality supported by the APIs.

Intelligent power for the home

Eaton’s smart breaker can easily be installed in most Eaton loadcentres. Through cloud connectivity, they can monitor and control loads inside the home, including electric vehicle chargers and energy storage systems.

Smart homes start with smart breakers

Secure and safe communications

Eaton’s smart breakers incorporate some of the industry’s best cybersecurity practices, allowing for secure data transmission from the data source to the user.
