What is inside a circuit breaker and why is Eaton suddenly in the red

Metal exchanges tariffs production pipelines. Eaton if I am to believe my friends probably supplies to the Navy. There also is an officer somewhere wondering why there are little green soldiers supper glued to the bottom of his electrical cabinet. All rumors but what is inside a circuit breaker well inside a circuit breaker you will find braided copper some springs and maybe an electrical motor. To mount this braided copper I believe you braze it. Why spend money on robots when you can do it cheaper in Puerto Rico and outside the US. While talking with individuals in the welding community Eaton has been hit hard and scrambling to automate the brazing process in the United States turning to local integrators to build out automated assembly lines.

Also know that if you are buying metals in large quantities you need to know what metal exchange you are purchasing from since not all metal exchanges are created equal. While talking to a purchasing agent from Lincoln Electric they complained about different suppliers marking up metals purchased from Shanghai and Singapore.

What does this mean for Eaton who purchases braided copper? Well if rumors are to be believed they are feverishly trying to restructure their supply chains.
