FAQs
The SPC050240N6P is designed for external side mounting, allowing installation adjacent to or on the side of a panel without major rewiring. Begin by verifying 240V single‑phase supply, ensure clearance for the 7.5" L x 8" H x 5.19" W footprint, and connect to the appropriate lines per the Eaton wiring diagram. Secure the unit for vibration resistance and verify the alarm output is wired to the control system for fault signaling. Finally, test with a controlled surge event to confirm proper clamping and indication behavior. This approach minimizes downtime and keeps panel upgrades efficient.
The SPC050240N6P provides a 50 kA surge rating at 240V in a single‑phase configuration, delivering robust transient suppression for sensitive automation equipment. The device also features filtering and an alarm to monitor power quality and fault conditions. This combination is ideal for protecting drives, PLCs, sensors, and other panel components in manufacturing environments, reducing the risk of malfunction during voltage spikes.
Yes. The unit is housed in a NEMA 4X enclosure, which is designed to resist dust, water spray, and other harsh conditions common in manufacturing floors and outdoor installations. Its external side mounting further facilitates installation in constrained spaces commonly found in industrial settings, enabling reliable protection without extensive panel modification.
The SPC050240N6P carries UL 1449 certification, confirming compliance with recognized surge protection standards. It also features a rugged enclosure and protective features to ensure long service life in demanding environments. Eaton backs this device with a 10‑year warranty, providing long-term protection against failure and helping manage total cost of ownership.
By limiting transient damage to critical components and signaling faults quickly via its alarm, the device reduces unplanned downtime and maintenance time. The 10‑year warranty lowers lifecycle costs, while the robust enclosure and straightforward installation shorten project timelines. Together, these factors translate into predictable maintenance budgeting, safer electrical infrastructure, and improved uptime for automated production lines.
