About this file
This document is a Sole Source Letter from Eaton Corporation addressed to Seminole County, Florida, dated June 30, 2025. The letter details Eaton's exclusive rights to manufacture, sell, and service electrical distribution equipment under multiple brand names including Westinghouse, Cutler-Hammer, Challenger, and Cooper Power Systems, following a series of corporate acquisitions in 1994 and 2012. Eaton is seeking to provide factory direct sales and service for Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) SVX9000 equipment, with the county intending to award a sole-source procurement for startup services.
The letter emphasizes that Eaton is the sole authorized manufacturer and service provider for these electrical systems, holding all current design, manufacturing, and modification information. Any repairs or modifications made by entities other than Eaton's Electrical Engineering Services and Systems Division could potentially compromise equipment integrity. The company guarantees that modifications are performed by factory-trained engineers and technicians who are certified to UL and ANSI equipment construction standards, and that warranty work maintains continuous coverage for the original factory warranty duration. The document serves as official documentation supporting Seminole County's potential sole-source procurement process for the specified electrical equipment and services.

Subject: Eaton/Cutler-Hammer/Westinghouse/Cooper Power Systems Factory Direct Sales and Service Provider
Eaton purchased the Westinghouse Distribution and Control Business Unit in 1994. This acquisition included manufacturing operations and technology used by Westinghouse to manufacture and sell electrical distribution and control products. In addition, Cooper Power Systems became part of Eaton in November of 2012. Eaton created Eaton's Electrical Engineering Services and Systems Division in 1998 in order to directly provide field engineering and service support to our growing customer base and these acquisitions.
We are the current manufacturer of former Westinghouse, Cutler-Hammer, Challenger, and Cooper Power Systems designed equipment. Eaton holds the current design and manufacturing information, and all current revisions and modifications to products manufactured under these brand names.
Today, pursuant to the agreements regarding the acquisition of the Distribution and Control Business Unit from Westinghouse, and the more recent inclusion of Cooper Power Systems, Eaton is the only company permitted to manufacture and sell electrical distribution equipment with a Cutler-Hammer, Westinghouse, or Cooper Power System trademark. As a result, Eaton's Electrical Engineering Services and Systems Division, which operates as a separate and professionally independent Division of Eaton's product manufacturing plants, is the factory authorized service group that can work on Cutler-Hammer, Westinghouse and Cooper Power Systems electrical distribution and control products.
Repairs, maintenance, and modifications made to Westinghouse, Challenger, Cutler-Hammer, Cooper Power Systems, or Eaton electrical equipment by anyone other than Eaton's Electrical Engineering Services and Systems Division may alter the original design intent and can impact the integrity of the equipment.
Modifications made by the Electrical Engineering Services and Systems Division are conducted by factory trained engineers and technicians who are acutely aware of proprietary engineering, manufacturing, and assembly processes that afforded certification with UL and ANSI equipment construction standards.
Any warranty work performed by Eaton's Electrical Engineering Services and Systems, on Eaton equipment, maintains continuous coverage for the complete duration of the original factory warranty.
Thank you for the current and future opportunities to continue to serve you.
Very truly yours, A. K1•onenwetter Florida District Operations Center Manager Eaton Corporation Eaton Electrical Services and Systems Cell: 954-914-3669 Email: jamesakronenwetter@eaton.com
