FAQs
For new installations, plan a clean panel layout that accommodates the CVX050-480L's compact footprint and three grounding connections (L-N, L-G, N-G). In retrofit projects, verify the panel has adequate clearance for the device’s 3.55 in length and 5.67 in height, and ensure proper labeling and scoping of the single-phase, two-wire configuration to minimize wiring errors and downtimes.
The CVX050-480L supports a 50 kAIC surge current rating, suitable for high-energy transients. It operates over a voltage range of 200 V to 240 V in single-phase systems, enabling compatibility with common industrial power supplies and distribution panels while maintaining robust protection across typical European and North American voltages.
Yes. With 50 kAIC surge capacity and a 200–240 V single-phase rating, this device effectively clamps transient events that commonly affect motor drives and PLCs. Its UL 1449 certification further assures compliance and reliability in demanding environments, helping to preserve uptime for automation lines and reducing repair costs from surge-related damage.
The CVX050-480L is UL 1449 certified, indicating conformance with established electrical safety and performance standards for surge protection devices. This certification provides assurance for safety-critical applications, supports regulatory compliance in many regions, and facilitates acceptance by engineers, procurement teams, and maintenance personnel during audits and vendor qualification.
Expected ROI comes from reduced downtime, lower replacement costs for damaged electronics, and extended equipment life due to improved surge mitigation. The device offers a 5-year warranty with minimal ongoing maintenance; ensure periodic inspection of grounding connections and panel integrity to sustain optimum protection without additional labor or frequent part replacements.
