Eaton has speni SI.7 billion on acquisitions that sustain and build market lead ership. As a result, more than 80 percent of Eaton's sales come from products that are number one or number two in the markets they serve. The acquisition of the Westinghouse Distribution and Controls Business Unit (DCBU) in 1994 merged two heavyweights - CutlerHammer, a major player in industrial controls, and DCBU. a leader in electrical distribution equipment - into one world-class franchise marketed as "The New Cutler-Hammer." The combination created one of the broadest selec tions of electrical components available from a single supplier. Cutler-Hammer sales in 1994 approached $1.5 billion. These sales come from two broad cate gories of products: * Industrial controls include contac tors and motor starters, variable speed drives, photoelectric and proximity sensors. PanelMate video control panels, microprocessorbased control and protection devices, as well as pushbuttons and switches, all designed to enhance factory performance. * Power distribution equipment includes the most complete Iannis of circuit breakers in the industry, ranging from miniature breakers rated 12(1 volts up to world class vacuum breakers rated up to 38 kilovolts. These products are used wherever there is a demand for electrical power - in residences, high-rise apartment and office buildings, commercial sites, hospi tals and factories. The company's Series C molded case circuit break ers provide increased performance in less space than standard breakers and, like the vacuum breakers, meet all major international electrical standards. As a result, the company has high expectations of substantial ly improving export sales and sales at seven international subsidiaries. Leading-Edge Products - Microprocessors are changing the electrical equipment industry, and Cutler-Hammer's leading-edge products provide substantial competitive advantages. The new Digitrip OPTIM programmable electronic trip unit uses micro processors to monitor and adjust sellings on installed circuit breakers, reducing downtime, increasing pro ductivity and trimming costs. This technology, previously feasible only on large breakers, is now available on smaller molded case breakers. The OPTIM trip units perform opti mally with the company's Series C molded case circuit breakers and 4 t
