Power management company Eaton on Wednesday launched an energy saving and back-up hybrid invertor system that allows for continued power during load-shedding.

The system, which was launched alongside Eaton’s Experience Centre, in Wadeville, could provide sufficient power for small- to medium-sized enterprises during power outages.

The system would switch between mains power, solar power and battery power, depending on availability.

“This solution is advantageous to all sectors, providing secure power and up time in productivity,” Eaton MD Shane Kilfoil commented at the launch.

He stated that Eaton had identified a need to provide an alternative energy source capable of providing continuous power to the African market.

Although South Africa had not experienced load-shedding in the last 30 days, the company was launching the solution because it recognised the gap in the market, noted Kilfoil.

EXPERIENCE CENTRE

Meanwhile, the company’s Experience Centre was designed to showcase its innovation and demonstrate how the company benefited customers in key segments, including commercial construction, renewable energy, data centres, oil and gas, mining and utilities sectors.

Eaton sub-Saharan regional sales manager Craig de Vasconcellos stated that the company’s dedication to leadership in the mobile and industrial space had made it one of Africa’s preferred suppliers of hydraulic solutions.

The capabilities of the Experience Centre would allow visitors to engage with Eaton’s business consulting experts throughout the region. This would ensure they were fully prepared to make informed decisions on the best solutions for their businesses.

The centre is open to CEOs, CIOs, VPs and industry specialists, as well as engineering students working towards understanding the industry and best practices from across the world were implemented locally, which would assist in up-skilling and development across South Africa.
