Feature: 50 kA surge rating at 240V delivers robust protection for industrial power systems. This high-energy capability clamps damaging transients before they reach sensitive devices, minimizing unexpected controller resets, motor faults, and PLC damage. In practice, it shields panel boards, drives, and automation cabinets in manufacturing lines where voltage spikes from switching events or grid disturbances are routine. Business Impact: reduces downtime, extends equipment life, and lowers spare parts consumption. Application: ideal for control panels in machine centers, process skids, and automation racks in harsh industrial environments. Feature: NEMA 4X enclosure provides rugged, weather- and washdown-resistant protection. This enclosure rating enables installation near production lines, in outdoor enclosures, or in humid plant environments without requiring extra shielding. Application: supports outdoor use and harsh areas while avoiding costly upgrades. Feature: Audible alarm offers immediate fault indication for maintenance teams. Quick acoustic alerts shorten diagnosis time after a surge event, enabling faster reconfiguration and recovery, reducing MTTR and boosting plant resiliency. Feature: External side mounting supports straightforward wiring and retrofit into existing electrical infrastructure. The SPC series aligns with standard mounting footprints and 240V single-phase configurations, easing integration into new builds or upgrades. Coupled with a 10-year warranty and UL 1449 listing, this SPD delivers regulatory confidence and long-term cost savings. Feature: Compact footprint—5.5 in depth, 6 in height, 3.19 in width, 2.5 lb—facilitates installation in crowded panels. A clear catalog number and straightforward wiring simplify procurement, stocking, and field replacements for maintenance teams.
