50 kA surge rating provides robust protection against high-energy transients, translateing to fewer component failures and lower maintenance costs in panel boards and machine enclosures. This directly reduces downtime and extends the life of sensitive drive electronics and control components, improving overall line reliability in manufacturing environments. The NEMA 4X enclosure offers weather resistance and washdown capability, enabling outdoor or harsh-area installations without compromising protection or accessibility. Audible alarm adds a proactive fault notification path, shortening response times and enabling quicker repair actions, which translates to improved uptime and safer operation. UL 1449 certification reinforces compliance and risk management, while a 10-year warranty reduces long-term ownership costs and supports total cost of ownership objectives. External side mounting simplifies retrofits and field upgrades, and the 120 V single-phase design aligns with common plant electrical infrastructures.

FAQs
Plan for external side mounting on standard enclosures and ensure the panel area provides adequate clearance for the 5.5 inch depth and 6 inch height. Confirm the installation location allows for audible alarm access and that the surrounding environment supports NEMA 4X conditions. Use proper conduit and cable routing to minimize impedance and maximize surge protection effectiveness. The unit is designed for single-phase 120 V systems and integrates with SPC series protections for coordinated device protection.
The SPC050120N3P features a 50 kA surge capacity and UL 1449 certification, ensuring compliance with industry surge protection standards. It is housed in a NEMA 4X enclosure for weather and washdown resistance, suitable for challenging environments. A 10-year warranty further reinforces long-term reliability and support, making it a dependable choice for critical electrical systems.
Wire it for a single-phase 120 V supply with external side mounting to simplify retrofit projects. Ensure a secure mechanical install with strain-relief on conductors and verify the available physical space matches the product dimensions (5.5 in depth, 6 in height, 3.19 in width). The audible alarm should be connected to the control system or monitored locally to provide immediate fault notification without compromising safety or service continuity.
UL 1449 listing confirms the device meets recognized surge protective performance and safety criteria, reducing compliance risk. The NEMA 4X enclosure provides rugged protection against dust, water, and corrosive environments, enabling reliable operation in outdoor or washdown areas. Together, these features support safer installations, longer service life, and easier regulatory alignment for industrial facilities.
Adopting the SPC050120N3P reduces unplanned outages by absorbing high-energy surges and signaling faults via audible alerts, which shortens maintenance windows and speeds repairs. The 10-year warranty lowers lifecycle costs, while UL 1449 compliance and a NEMA 4X enclosure improve safety and reliability across harsh environments. Ultimately, this translates to higher production uptime and lower total cost of ownership for critical electrical infrastructure.
