High surge capability and robust ratings drive real-world value: the CVX100-480Y is rated for 100 kAIC, delivering fast clamp response to large transients and protecting sensitive loads such as motors, drives, and controls. This translates to reduced maintenance costs and less unexpected downtime in critical lines like conveyors and packaging. Voltage flexibility further enhances reliability, with a range spanning 220/380 V, 230/400 V, 240/415 V, and 277/480 V, enabling seamless integration across mixed electrical infrastructures without bespoke protections. The three-phase, four-wire design with ground included simplifies installation in modern distribution boards and MCCs, while providing predictable protection regardless of phase balance. Its compact footprint (3.55 in x 4.75 in x 5.67 in) and 2 lb weight support quick panel mounting in space-constrained control centers. A 5-year warranty paired with UL 1449 certification adds regulatory confidence, ensuring ongoing compliance and long-term cost efficiency. This combination improves asset life, uptime, and return on investment for industrial automation environments.
