As one of the leading manufacturers of components and systems for electrical engineering and automation, Eaton is now offering new PKE 65 motor-protective circuit-breakers with wide-range overload protection. Electrical motors currently in operation come in a wide range of different variants. In the majority of processes their particular features enable them to determine production efficiency.
