50 kAIC surge capacity forms the core protection. It absorbs high-energy transients, limiting voltage excursions and protecting insulation and electronics from damage. In manufacturing lines, this reduces repair costs, minimizes unplanned downtime, and protects drives, PLCs, and motor controls from damaging spikes. Three-phase 347/600 V compatibility ensures the PX1-3Y300 integrates with common industrial power networks. This alignment supports protection of distribution panels, motor drives, and lighting circuits without reconfiguring existing equipment. The device responds quickly to transients, helping maintain stable performance across the system. Compact dimensions (2.5 in depth, 4.8 in height, 2.9 in width) and a 1.25 lb weight simplify retrofits in crowded panels. The small footprint enables easier door clearance, panel upgrades, and easier field mounting in retrofit projects. This compact form factor also reduces enclosure changes and minimizes installation time. PX1 series compatibility ensures standardized protection across the facility. Using a single family for SPD components simplifies stocking, training, and maintenance routines. This approach supports consistent protection strategies from main panels to localized subpanels. Clear cataloging with PX1-3Y300 and UPC 786689805647 improves ordering accuracy and traceability. Standardized part numbers streamline BOM creation, audits, and warranty claims. Shared documentation across sites accelerates procurement and reduces mismatch during upgrades. Industry practice shows that investing in robust surge protection reduces total cost of ownership over time. While initial costs are modest, the reduction in unplanned downtime, spare parts, and downtime-related productivity losses adds measurable ROI. The PX1-3Y300 offers a reliable, scalable solution for industrial protection programs.
