Harry Henderson Cutler and Edward West Hammer incorporated the Cutler-Hammer Manufacturing Co. in 1893, focusing on electric starters, speed regulators and field rheostats. In 1900 they created the first automatic motor starter patented by Cutler, laying out the foundation for the modern motor control industry, and in 1901 the company drafted and designed the control machinery for the Panama Canal. By the 1930s, engineers at Cutler-Hammer had secured 28 patents for the use of vacuum tubes to regulate heavy currents.
Cutler-Hammer became part of Eaton Corporation in 1978 bringing over $ 500 million in sales of a complete collection of power control and switching components.

Eaton Cutler-Hammer supplies an extensive selection of end-to-end electrical products and services including quality and control equipment, full-scale engineering and generation and distribution support solutions.
