FAQs
When installing the CVX050-240S, ensure adequate panel space for the compact enclosure (approximately 3.55 in L x 4.75 in W x 5.67 in H) and proper clearance for heat dissipation. Wire it as a split single-phase, three-wire system with ground, following the provided L-L, L-N, L-G, and N-G connections. Verify wiring torque specifications and secure mounting to prevent vibration or loosening in operation.
The CVX050-240S offers a 50 kAIC surge capacity, suitable for high-energy transients. It supports voltage ratings of 100/200 V or 120/240 V in split-phase configurations, allowing flexible deployment across common commercial and industrial power networks without changing protection strategy or panel layout.
Yes, the CVX050-240S is designed for protection in panels and switchgear commonly found in data centers, motor control centers, and industrial automation cabinets. Its 50 kAIC capacity and UL 1449 certification align with typical data center protection standards, while its compact footprint eases integration in crowded MCCs and control panels.
The CVX050-240S carries UL 1449 certification, confirming compliance with established surge protection safety and performance standards. This certification supports regulatory acceptance across many regions and provides assurance for engineering and procurement teams evaluating protection reliability.
Installing the CVX050-240S helps reduce unplanned downtime and equipment wear from transient events, leading to lower maintenance costs and fewer replacement parts.
