For more than a century, power has flowed in one direction: IN. From the electrical grid to homes to power our daily lives. With the energy transition, that reality is being upended and builders need circuit breakers to do a lot more than manage the intake of utility power. Eaton’s smart breakers and Smart Energy Manager app are helping power the energy transition at home by delivering the advanced functionality needed to support modern energy demands. Together, Eaton’s smart breakers and Smart Energy Manager app unlock essential data and enable new insights and ability to manage energy usage. Homeowners can view power usage, control smart breakers remotely and easily manage home energy habits. Circuit breakers are used virtually everywhere there’s electricity. This transformation at the loadcenter is a giant leap in the world’s journey to support a more sustainable tomorrow.
