50 kA surge capability protects downstream equipment from high-energy transients. This reduces equipment failures and downtime, improving line uptime and maintenance planning. Apply it in motor drives, PLCs, and distribution panels in manufacturing or processing facilities. 240/400V Wye rating ensures compatibility with common industrial distributions, simplifying design and reducing misconfiguration risk. It supports standard panel layouts and minimizes engineering changes during retrofits in new builds or upgrades. Use in control panels, switchgear, and power distribution racks across manufacturing lines. NEMA 4X enclosure provides weatherproof, dustproof protection for harsh environments. This enables outdoor installations, loading-dock areas, and damp locations without compromising safety or performance. Ideal for outdoor equipment rooms, sheltered enclosures, or process facilities with exposure to weather. Form C relay offers normally open/closed signaling for remote status indication and control integration. This facilitates SCADA or building management system (BMS) alerts, reducing maintenance response times and enabling proactive asset management. External side mounting simplifies retrofit and field wiring, reducing installation time and minimizing panel modifications. This lowers labor costs and allows easier integration with existing equipment racks. The 10‑year warranty and UL 1449 certification further decrease lifecycle risk and total cost of ownership.

FAQs
External side mounting is designed to simplify field installation. Ensure clearance around the device for wiring and cooling, mount on a stable panel surface, and align the unit so the Form C relay is accessible for status signaling. Use standard cabinet mounting hardware and comply with enclosure guidelines to maintain the NEMA 4X rating. Verify the 240/400V connections match system voltage prior to energizing.
The SPC050415Y4P provides a 50 kA surge rating for 240/400V Wye configurations, UL 1449 certification, and a NEMA 4X enclosure. It uses an external side mounting method and includes a Form C relay for signaling. It is designed for panel boards, drives, and distribution equipment in industrial environments, delivering reliable transient protection with a compact footprint.
Yes. The device is housed in a NEMA 4X enclosure, which offers weatherproof and dustproof protection suitable for outdoor installations, damp facilities, and sheltered exterior spaces. This makes it a robust choice for outdoor equipment rooms, process facilities near loading docks, and other environments where exposure to moisture or dust is a concern.
The Form C relay offers a changeover contact that can signal status or trigger remote controls. This enables integration with SCADA or building management systems, facilitating alerts, alarms, or automatic responses when surges occur. It helps improve maintenance workflows and supports proactive asset management by delivering clear, actionable signals.
The SPC050415Y4P carries a 10‑year warranty from Eaton, with UL 1449 certification anchoring its compliance and reliability. Technical documentation, including the product specification sheet, is available from Eaton for installation guidance, troubleshooting, and field support. This warranty helps reduce lifecycle risk and provides confidence for long-term investments in surge protection.
