FAQs
Installation requires mounting the SPD on the exterior side of the panel or enclosure with properly rated connectors. Ensure the device is grounded, observe clearances for digestion of heat, and connect to the 240V delta circuit per Eaton’s guidance in the SPC050240D6P specifications. The 50 kA rating supports high-energy transients typical in motor drives and industrial loads.
The SPC050240D6P carries UL 1449 certification, confirming transient surge protection performance to recognized standards. This certification, along with the NEMA 4X enclosure rating, ensures reliability in harsh environments and compliance with electrical safety requirements often demanded in manufacturing and utility settings.
Yes. The unit is specified for 240V Delta service and uses a rugged NEMA 4X enclosure, making it suitable for outdoor or damp environments. Its external side mounting further enhances installation flexibility in limited or irregular panel spaces common in industrial facilities.
Routine maintenance should include visual inspections of the alarm indicators, periodic functional tests where feasible, and verifying proper wiring integrity. The device’s filtering and alarm features support proactive maintenance by signaling surge events that may need investigation or preventative action.
By limiting surge-related outages and protecting critical drives and controllers, this SPD reduces downtime and extends equipment life. The 10-year warranty provides long-term protection, helping justify lifecycle costs in procurement and contributing to predictable maintenance budgeting for capital projects.
