Eaton to Help Modernize Infrastructure for Miami's Metromover
Eaton has been selected to modernize the electrical infrastructure of Miami's Metromover mass transit system, which served over 6.5 million riders in 2023. The project, supported by Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act funding, is part of Miami-Dade County's $153 million initiative to expand and upgrade its automated train network. Eaton will supply low-voltage air replacement circuit breakers and motor control components to modernize 21 aging electrical substations. The project, expected to complete by early 2025, aims to increase system reliability and capacity without requiring complete substation replacement.
Eaton è stata selezionata per modernizzare l'infrastruttura elettrica del sistema di trasporto pubblico Metromover di Miami, che ha servito oltre 6,5 milioni di passeggeri nel 2023. Il progetto, supportato dai fondi dell'Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, fa parte di un'iniziativa da 153 milioni di dollari della contea di Miami-Dade per espandere e aggiornare la sua rete di treni automatizzati. Eaton fornirà interruttori automatici di ricambio a bassa tensione e componenti per il controllo dei motori per modernizzare 21 stazioni elettriche obsolete. Il progetto, che ci si aspetta di completare entro l'inizio del 2025, punta ad aumentare l'affidabilità e la capacità del sistema senza richiedere la sostituzione completa delle stazioni.
