FAQs
Install via external side mounting in existing 240V delta panels using the provided Eaton wiring diagram. The unit footprint is 5.5 in L, 6 in H, and 3.19 in W, weighing 2.5 lb, which minimizes panel intrusion. Connect line, load, and sensing wiring per the diagram, then enable the alarm and Form C relay for remote signaling and monitoring.
The SPC050240H8P provides a 50 kA surge current rating at 240V delta (4W+G). This specification ensures rapid clamping of transients to protect sensitive PLCs, drives, and control electronics in industrial panels. The device also offers filtering, an alarm, and a Form C relay to support downstream protection and signaling.
Yes. The device uses a NEMA 4X enclosure designed for washdown and harsh environments, supporting outdoor and indoor applications. External side mounting simplifies installation in tight spaces. For corrosive environments, confirm material compatibility and maintain gasket integrity to preserve protection performance.
SPC050240H8P is UL 1449-listed for surge protection safety and is housed in a NEMA 4X enclosure for weather resistance. Eaton also provides a 10-year warranty, and the UPC is 786680214905. These certifications and ratings help ensure regulatory compliance and long-term reliability in demanding industrial settings.
Implementing the SPC050240H8P reduces unplanned downtime by limiting surge-related equipment failures and extends the life of motor drives and control electronics. With a 10-year warranty and continuous monitoring via the built-in alarm and Form C relay, maintenance costs decline and system reliability improves, delivering measurable total cost of ownership benefits.
