The document discusses five key things to know about corrosion reduction in power distribution systems: 1) Understanding the basic types of corrosion helps select the best corrosion protection for equipment. 2) Corrosion costs the US $2.5 trillion annually globally yet receives little attention. 3) Properly specifying electrical products in corrosive environments can reduce long-term costs and failure risks by up to 40%. 4) Preventive strategies and basic inspection/maintenance programs can ensure equipment operates properly and addresses corrosion before failure. 5) Eaton has done research on corrosion reduction in power distribution and offers corrosion-resistant solutions.

Corrosion is one of the largest single expenses
in the US economy, yet it rarely receives the
attention it requires. The annual cost of
corrosion globally is estimated to be
$2.5 trillion per year.

Proper specification and selection of
electrical products in highly corrosive
environments will reduce long term cost and
reduce risk of failure. Corrosion prevention can
save up to 40 percent.*4

By using preventive strategies and a basic
inspection and maintenance program, you
can ensure equipment is operating properly and
that corrosion is addressed prior to failure.
