The ability to supply a vital switchboard in record time helped secure Eaton the order for a new PLC-controlled switchboard for North West Ambulance Service NHS Trust (Cheshire & Merseyside Area) as part of a major refurbishment of its electrical power supply. In a second order, Eaton supplied an emergency generator and an uninterrupted power supply from its Powerware business. The new switchboard comprises sections for essential and non-essential services. In the event of a power supply failure, a bus coupler opens automatically to isolate the non-essential loads. The majority of essential services are equipped with uninterrupted power supplies to ensure continuous power while the 150k diesel emergency generator powers up.

An improved lighting scheme, created by Eaton's Studio 3 lighting controls, has helped restore the glory of the only Wren church in the City of London. The system has enabled St Mary Aldermary to create different lighting 'scenes' which can be pre-set. It controls the chandeliers, the chandelier- mounted spotlights and the feature lighting, with dimmer buttons for each channel.
