- Early-make auxiliary contacts: Contacts that close slightly earlier than the main contacts during switching operations, allowing pre-signal or early activation in control circuits.
- Earth, general symbol Ground: The standardized schematic symbol representing the earth or ground connection, used to indicate a safety grounding point in electrical diagrams.
- Earth-fault release circuit-breaker: A protective device that trips when leakage current is detected to earth, helping to prevent electric shock and equipment damage.
- Earth-fault ZEB: A specific model or function in the Eaton ZEB series that handles earth fault detection and response, typically part of modular motor protection systems.
- easySoft: Eaton’s configuration and programming software for the easy series of programmable relays, allowing users to design logic, simulate, and download to devices.
- Efficiency: A measure of how effectively a device converts input power to useful output power, usually expressed as a percentage.
- Electrical connector: A component used to join electrical circuits together, either temporarily or permanently, ensuring safe and efficient current flow.
- Electrical equipment of machines: All electrical components and systems installed in or on a machine, including control panels, motors, sensors, and wiring, usually governed by international safety standards.
- Electronic motor-protective relays: Digital relays that provide precise motor protection by monitoring parameters such as current, voltage, and temperature, often with programmable settings.
- Electronic overload relays ZEB: Part of the ZEB relay series, these devices protect motors from overloads using electronic sensing instead of thermal methods.
- Electronic relays: General category of relays that use semiconductor components (rather than mechanical movement) to perform switching operations.
- EMC compliance in PDS: Adherence to electromagnetic compatibility standards in Power Drive Systems, ensuring that equipment does not emit or is not affected by electromagnetic interference.
- EMC filter: A component that suppresses electromagnetic interference from a power line, improving compliance with EMC regulations.
- Emergency switch, general symbol: The standard symbol used in schematics to represent an emergency stop switch.
- EMS2: A designation for a specific Eaton system or series, likely related to safety or energy management systems.
- Engineering: The application of scientific and mathematical principles to the design and operation of electrical systems and automation processes.
- Equipment protection level: Classification indicating how well a device is protected from environmental conditions like dust, water, and mechanical impact.
- Error message, differential: A diagnostic or fault message indicating a differential error, often in current or pressure in a system.
- Ethernet interface: A communication port or module that enables data exchange over Ethernet networks, often used for industrial automation and system integration.
- External motors: Motors installed outside of the main equipment housing, often for driving auxiliary components.
- External overload relays PKZM0, PKZM4: Eaton’s external overload relay models used with motor-protective circuit breakers to detect and respond to overcurrent conditions.
- Explosion groups: Classifications that define the type of explosive atmosphere for which a device is rated, usually based on gas or dust properties.
- Explosive atmospheres: Environments where flammable gases, vapors, or dust are present, requiring specially certified electrical equipment.
- Explosive dust atmospheres: A subset of explosive environments where fine combustible dust particles create a risk of ignition or explosion.
- External diameters, cables: The outer measurement of a cable, important for determining fit with cable glands, conduits, and routing systems.
