50 kAIC surge rating delivers robust transient protection, reducing the risk of damage to motors, drives, and controllers during lightning events and switching surges. This protection translates into measurable uptime gains and lower maintenance costs across critical lines. In three-phase 120/208V networks, SP1-208Y provides proven performance when protecting panelboards and distributed power architectures. Compact footprint and dimensional footprint (2.5 in depth, 4.8 in height, 2.9 in width) simplify mounting in crowded electrical rooms. The small form factor supports easy retrofits and enables plug‑in compatibility with standard panels, reducing installation time and field labor. This helps contractors stay on schedule and limits the need for enclosure redesign. UL 1449 certification ensures compliance with recognized safety and performance standards, smoothing regulatory approvals and supplier audits. The SP1-208Y’s 120/208V wye, three-phase configuration aligns with common industrial power layouts, improving sourcing consistency and reducing the risk of mismatched protection devices. The device’s robust protection makes it a reliable choice for data centers, manufacturing lines, and process plants. With a 2-year warranty, maintenance planning becomes predictable and ROI improves through lower replacement costs and extended equipment life. Catalog Number SP1-208Y, UPC 786685448336, and general specs enable accurate procurement, standardized stocking, and faster turn‑around on quotes.
