Dominican Republic / USA – Ohio-based power management firm, Eaton Corporation has opened its newly revamped 65,000 square-foot assembly plant in Santiago de los Caballeros, in the Dominican Republic. The facility will increase the supply of its high-powered fuses for EVs and other applications. The 10 million USD investment in this facility is part of a 750 million USD investment strategy into the company’s North American manufacturing base.
Last month at the Advanced Clean Technology (ACT) Expo in Las Vegas, Eaton unveiled its new high-powered fuses (Eaton Bussmann series) for electric CVs. Capable of handling up to 1400 amps and 900 volts, these fuses are customisable, meaning they can be tailored to the customer's particular specifications. Paralleling multiple fuses can increase current capability.
