The CVX100-480L uses a high-current surge rating to absorb energy from damaging transients, reducing the risk of equipment downtime and premature failure in critical control panels. This feature translates to improved process uptime, longer life for drives and PLCs, and lower maintenance costs in manufacturing environments that experience frequent voltage spikes. As a single-phase, two-wire SPD rated for 200–240 V systems, it integrates easily into standard electrical cabinets without the need for complex wiring, delivering fast installation and consistent protection for motors, VFDs, and instrumentation. Its compact dimensions (3.55 in L, 5.67 in H, 4.75 in W) and 2 lb weight save panel space and enable straightforward retrofits in existing installations. The 5-year warranty provides long-term assurance, while UL 1449 certification supports regulatory compliance and customer trust. The device protects L-N, L-G, and N-G paths with a robust 550 V operating voltage range, ensuring comprehensive surge clamping across common circuit configurations. Compatibility with Eaton CVX100 series fosters streamlined spares management and maintenance planning for panel builders and OEMs. In environments where space is at a premium, this compact surge protector reduces engineering time, expedites commissioning, and simplifies replacement planning after surge events. By offering reliable protection for sensitive electronics, it helps facilities avoid costly downtime and maintain consistent production throughput across discrete manufacturing, pump stations, and machine control panels.

FAQs
Begin by verifying a 200–240 V single-phase supply and confirming panel space availability. Mount the CVX100-480L in a suitable enclosure, connect L-N, L-G, and N-G per the included wiring diagram, and ensure proper grounding. Tighten terminals to the recommended torque spec and perform a general system test to confirm no wiring faults exist. This approach minimizes commissioning time and ensures reliable surge protection from startup.
The CVX100-480L is rated for 100 kAIC surge current and supports a voltage range of 200 V, 208 V, 220 V, 230 V, and 240 V in single-phase configurations. It is designed for two-wire systems and provides protection across L-N, L-G, and N-G paths. This combination suits many regional power environments and helps maintain equipment uptime in varying supply conditions.
Yes, the CVX100-480L is UL 1449 certified, signaling compliance with a recognized safety standard for surge protection devices. This certification provides confidence that the product meets tested performance criteria for surge events, aiding regulatory acceptance in many industries. Coupled with Eaton’s warranty, it supports long-term risk management and supplier reliability for critical electrical infrastructure.
Ideal applications include electrical panels for machines, PLCs, motor drives, and other control systems operating at 200–240 V single-phase. It is well-suited for manufacturing lines, HVAC controls, and plant automation panels where transient overvoltages from switching, grid disturbances, or nearby equipment can threaten uptime. Its compact size supports retrofit into crowded enclosures without sacrificing protection quality.
Surge protection devices are typically monitored for health via periodic visual checks and, if available, diagnostic features. For the CVX100-480L, plan for end-of-life replacement after cumulative surge exposure or per your preventive maintenance schedule. Maintaining stock of spare units aligned with panel rebuilds or upgrades minimizes downtime. The 5-year warranty also provides budgeting security for lifecycle planning.
