FAQs
The SPC050208Y4P is designed for 120/208V Wye power systems commonly found in industrial panels, control cabinets, and switchgear. Its external side mounting streamlines retrofits in existing enclosures, while the Form C relay provides flexible signaling for PLCs and SCADA interfaces. This makes it a practical fit for many manufacturing facilities seeking reliable surge protection.
This unit delivers up to 50 kA surge protection, absorbing transient overvoltages before they reach sensitive devices such as drives and controllers. UL 1449 certification confirms adherence to safety and performance standards, while the NEMA 4X enclosure protects the device in harsh environments. The Form C relay enables remote monitoring and interlock signaling to prevent cascading faults.
Yes. The NEMA 4X enclosure design provides resistance to moisture, dust, and washdown conditions, making it suitable for factory floors, outdoor panels, and damp environments. Its rugged construction helps maintain protection performance in challenging facilities, minimizing maintenance and replacement costs over the product lifetime.
The SPC050208Y4P carries UL 1449 certification and a 10-year warranty, underscoring reliability and compliance for essential electrical protection. These credentials support ongoing maintenance planning and regulatory alignment in quality-conscious manufacturing environments.
Plan for external side mounting to maximize space within crowded panels. Verify 120/208V Wye compatibility at the panel level, ensure proper terminal torque per the datasheet, and integrate the Form C relay signals with your PLC or PMS. Allow enough clearance for heat dissipation and follow standard safety procedures during retrofits.
