The CVX100-480D delivers a 100 kAIC surge rating, which directly translates to reduced risk of sudden equipment damage during large transient events, improving line uptime and extending the life of drives and motors in manufacturing environments. This translates to lower maintenance costs and less unplanned downtime when presses, conveyors, or CNCs experience voltage spikes. The device supports a broad voltage range of 380–480 V in a three-phase, three-wire configuration with a ground reference, making it an ideal fit for diverse industrial power distributions and new installations seeking versatile protection with minimal rewiring. By meeting UL 1449 standards and offering a 5-year warranty, it simplifies procurement and regulatory compliance while providing long-term protection for critical control systems and PLCs in harsh industrial settings. Its compact footprint—3.55 in L, 5.67 in H, 4.75 in W—facilitates panel-mount installations in crowded control cabinets, saving space without sacrificing performance. Ground integration and straightforward wiring enhance safety and install confidence, reducing commissioning time and errors during upgrades or retrofits. The device’s lightweight 2 lb profile supports easier handling and field replacements, minimizing downtime during maintenance windows and spare-part inventory costs. In practice, this surge protector supports drives, motors, and electronic controls across manufacturing lines, HVAC installations, and process control panels, delivering measurable improvements in reliability, safety, and total-cost-of-ownership.

FAQs
The CVX100-480D is designed for three-phase, three-wire power networks with a dedicated ground. It clamps transients across line-to-line (L-L) and line-to-ground (L-G) paths, making it suitable for main feeders and downstream equipment. Installers should connect each phase to the L terminals and the ground conductor to the dedicated ground, ensuring proper orientation for protective coordination with downstream devices.
Key specs include a 100 kAIC surge rating, voltage ratings of 380, 400, 415, 440, and 480 V, and a three-phase, three-wire configuration. The unit weighs about 2 lb and measures 3.55 in (L) x 5.67 in (H) x 4.75 in (W). It is UL 1449 listed and backed by a 5-year warranty, making it a robust choice for industrial transient protection.
Yes, the CVX100-480D is UL 1449 listed, confirming it meets recognized safety and performance standards for surge protection devices. This certification helps ensure reliability, reduces risk of improper protection, and supports regulatory and internal compliance requirements for electrical safety in manufacturing, data centers, and other critical environments.
Yes, it is suitable for panel or cabinet installation. Its compact footprint (3.55 x 4.75 x 5.67 inches) and light 2 lb weight facilitate easy mounting in standard enclosures. Follow the Eaton installation guidelines to maintain proper clearance, ensure line connections (L-L) and ground are correct, and coordinate with existing protection schemes for downstream drives and controllers.
By reducing surge-related damage to drives, motors, and control electronics, the CVX100-480D lowers unplanned downtime and maintenance costs. The 5-year warranty provides long-term protection with predictable support. Minimal routine maintenance is required beyond periodic visual checks, while proactive replacement during scheduled maintenance minimizes unexpected outages and extends equipment life.
