The 50 kA surge rating combined with a 120/240 V split-phase design delivers robust protection for sensitive electrical loads, reducing the risk of damage during transient events and supporting longer equipment life. Business impact: lower maintenance costs and minimized unplanned downtime in manufacturing lines and data-critical panels. Application: panel boards, motor drives, and PLC-controlled equipment in industrial facilities. The NEMA 4X enclosure enhances environmental resilience, enabling reliable operation in wet or dusty environments; installation teams benefit from durable protection where outdoor or harsh indoor conditions prevail. Business impact: improved uptime and regulatory compliance for environments with strict ingress protections. The audible alarm feature provides immediate fault awareness for quick response times, reducing time-to-diagnosis and enabling proactive maintenance. Application: critical power distribution, machine rooms, and control cabinets where rapid silencing of nuisance alarms would hinder operations. The external side mounting supports flexible placement and easier retrofits in existing layouts. Business impact: faster commissioning, reduced labor costs, and scalable protection across multiple panels. The UL 1449 listing and a 10-year warranty reinforce reliability and long-term total cost of ownership. Application: OEM panel builders and electrical contractors seeking proven protection across fleets.

FAQs
SPC050240S3P is designed for external side mounting, which simplifies retrofits by attaching to existing enclosures without major panel reworks. It supports 120/240 V split-phase systems and integrates with standard distribution panels, minimizing wiring complexity and enabling straightforward installation in both new builds and upgrades.
The device offers a 50 kA surge rating, UL 1449 listing, and a robust NEMA 4X enclosure. These features deliver reliable transient protection for sensitive equipment, reduce nuisance outages, and support compliance with electrical safety standards while maintaining service continuity in demanding environments.
Yes. The NEMA 4X enclosure provides ingress protection suitable for wet and dusty conditions, making it appropriate for industrial facilities and constrained outdoor areas. Pairing this with UL 1449 compliance ensures safety and performance in challenging environments while maintaining long-term protection for critical loads.
SPC050240S3P is UL 1449 listed, which confirms surge protection performance and safety. Its NEMA 4X enclosure rating further ensures environmental protection. Together, these certifications support regulatory compliance, safer installations, and reliability for panel protection systems across industrial applications.
The device reduces downtime by quickly diverting surge energy away from sensitive equipment, extending component life and lowering maintenance costs. The audible alarm enables rapid fault detection, facilitating proactive maintenance. Over time, this translates to improved asset availability and a favorable return on investment for power protection investments.
