FAQs
SPC050240D1P is designed for external side mounting on standard 3–pole or 4–pole panels used with 240V delta systems. Ensure proper clearance for heat dissipation and follow NEC clearances. Verify that the panel is rated for a UL 1449 SPD and that the unit’s dimensions fit your enclosure. Consult Eaton's installation sheet for wiring diagrams and surge-protective device connection guidelines.
The SPC050240D1P delivers a 50 kA surge rating for 240V delta circuits, UL 1449 safety listing, and a NEMA 4X enclosure. Its compact footprint (5.5 in L x 6 in H x 3.19 in W) and lightweight design simplify retrofits in existing panels, reducing install time. This combination supports reliable protection of downstream drives, PLCs, and motors in industrial applications.
Yes. The NEMA 4X enclosure rating provides protection against water, dust, and corrosion, enabling reliable operation in harsh indoor or outdoor environments. The external-side mounting option also supports flexible installation in panels located in processing plants, outdoor enclosures, or washdown areas where robust transient protection is required.
This device is UL 1449 listed, ensuring safety certification for surge protection devices. The NEMA 4X enclosure further reinforces environmental protection for wet or dusty sites. Together, these features support regulatory compliance, safer field deployment, and alignment with standard industrial protection practices.
The 10-year warranty and UL compliance provide long-term reliability with predictable maintenance costs. By limiting transient damage to downstream assets, it reduces unplanned downtime, extends motor and drive life, and lowers replacement and service expenses. For asset-intensive facilities, the device supports a lower total cost of ownership when deployed as part of a standardized SPD strategy.
