Feature: 50 kA surge current rating provides substantial protection against high-energy transients. Business Impact: This energy capacity dramatically reduces the risk of damage to drives, PLCs, and controllers, lowering repair costs and unplanned downtime. Application: Use in main power feeds and distribution panels on automation lines where spike events are common. Feature: 120/208V Wye configuration ensures compatibility with common facility power systems. Business Impact: Facilitates seamless integration with existing infrastructure, reducing conversion penalties and wiring errors. Application: Retrofit into control panels and switchgear in industrial facilities and data centers. Feature: NEMA 4X enclosure delivers robust protection against dust, water, and corrosive environments. Business Impact: Extends enclosure life and reduces environmental failure risk, supporting longer service intervals. Application: Install on factory floors, outdoor enclosures, and harsh indoor spaces. Feature: Alarm and Form C relay provide remote status signaling. Business Impact: Enables proactive maintenance and rapid fault isolation through SCADA/BMS integration. Application: Use for field alarms, trend monitoring, and alarm-driven maintenance workflows. Feature: External side mounting simplifies retrofits and minimizes cabinet disruption. Business Impact: Speeds installation, reduces labor costs, and improves retrofit predictability. Application: Ideal for crowded panels and upgrades where side-entry installation is preferred. Feature: UL 1449 listing and a 10-year warranty offer regulatory confidence and long-term protection value. Business Impact: Supports compliant procurement programs and lowers total cost of ownership over the device lifecycle.

FAQs
Yes. The SPC050208Y5P is designed for 120/208V Wye configurations and features external side mounting, facilitating straightforward retrofits and integration into existing switchgear without reconfiguring the entire panel. It supports common industrial power layouts while maintaining a compact footprint for crowded cabinets.
The unit offers a 50 kA surge current rating, UL 1449 protection, and a NEMA 4X enclosure. It also includes an Alarm and Form C relay for remote signaling. These specs translate to strong transient suppression, regulatory compliance, and enhanced monitoring for critical loads in manufacturing and data-center environments.
The NEMA 4X enclosure provides robust protection against dust, moisture, and corrosive conditions, making it suitable for certain outdoor or harsh indoor spaces. However, it should be installed in protected locations where the enclosure is shielded from direct weather exposure if environmental conditions exceed NEMA 4X expectations.
SPC050208Y5P is UL 1449 listed, confirming alignment with established surge protection standards. It carries a 10-year warranty, offering long-term protection value and reducing total cost of ownership while supporting procurement through standard-compliant specifications.
The 50 kA protection, remote alarm signaling, and durable enclosure help minimize downtime and equipment damage, delivering faster fault response and reduced maintenance costs. ROI improves through extended asset life, fewer unplanned outages, and streamlined maintenance workflows via the alarm/relay interface within automation and SCADA systems.
