DUBLIN – Intelligent power management company Eaton (NYSE:ETN) today announced it has signed an agreement to acquire Resilient Power Systems Inc., a leading North American developer and manufacturer of innovative energy solutions, including solid-state transformer-based technology.

“Resilient’s medium voltage solid-state transformers are a next-generation solution in high-power, direct current (DC) applications in the electric vehicle (EV) market – and there’s huge opportunity for future applications in data centers, port electrification and battery energy storage,” said Mike Yelton, president, Americas Region, Electrical Sector. “By leveraging Eaton’s manufacturing capabilities, field service organization and commercial scale, we’re confident we can expand the market for this innovative technology to data center and other customers looking to move faster, minimize costs and improve power distribution efficiency and reliability.”
