Case Study: Lockheed Martin achieves $18,000 in repair cost savings with Eaton surge protection devices

Eaton’s New Ground Maintenance Motorpump Optimizes Safety, Weight Savings and Power Management for F-35 Joint Strike Fighter

Eaton helped a major drill pipe manufacturer in Texas address a significant challenge with transient voltage surges. These surges were causing repeated and costly failures of the harmonic filters for their induction heaters, resulting in $25,000 in damage to this equipment and other electronic devices.

Eaton’s solution was the installation of their Innovative Technology Protector Series surge protection devices. These SPDs successfully protected the facility from over 2,400 surge events in just four months, eliminating harmonic filter failures and delivering approximately $18,000 in repair cost savings for the customer.
