ST. LOUIS… Power management company Eaton today announced the introduction of the new Bussmann Low-PeakTM Upgrade program. The program couples the industry’s most advanced fuse circuit protection solutions from Eaton with the company’s technical expertise in simplifying inventory and reducing costs.

“The Low-Peak Upgrade program is so effective because it leverages our Low-Peak fuse portfolio,” said Nick Offerman, product manager, Eaton’s Bussmann Division. “These fuses offer 50 percent more protection than any other listed fuse and have many other features that contribute to enhanced safety and reliability as well as a simplified inventory.” 

The Low-Peak Upgrade Program is a complimentary service and is focused on generating customized inventory consolidation recommendations. Eaton’s team of experts first conducts a full audit of the customer’s fuse inventory. This audit collects all necessary data to be analyzed (part number, description, manufacturer, quantity on hand and bin location). Next, Eaton takes the data gathered during this audit and conducts a thorough analysis, which generates an inventory and consolidation summary report. The report includes SKU reduction recommendations and estimated savings, a recommended inventory list and a quote for the purchase of new Low-Peak fuses.

As the most advanced fuse circuit protection in the industry, Eaton’s Bussmann series Low-Peak fuses include a current-limitation feature, helping to ensure reduced arc flash hazards. They also offer 50 percent more protection than any other Underwriters Laboratories (UL) listed fuse. 

Should customers wish to purchase Low-Peak fuses recommended by the audit and analysis, Eaton provides environmentally-friendly disposal of old inventory and a training module so that customers can implement a seamless transition of circuit protection products.
