FAQs
SPC050415Y5P installs on the exterior side of a control panel, allowing quick retrofits without major internal rework. Ensure clearance for the 5.5 in depth and align mounting holes with the panel exterior. Connect to the 240/400V Wye supply and wire the Alarm Form C relay to your monitoring system for immediate fault indication.
A 50 kA surge rating indicates the device can safely divert high-energy transients without compromising protection. This reduces the risk of PLCs, drives, and relays experiencing insulation damage or nuisance trips, especially in environments with frequent switching or lightning-induced transients.
Yes. The unit is housed in a NEMA 4X enclosure, designed for outdoor use and washdown areas. This enclosure protects internal components from dust, water, and corrosion, ensuring dependable operation in harsh industrial settings.
UL 1449 certification confirms surge protection reliability and compliance with safety standards. The enclosure’s NEMA 4X rating supports outdoor and exposed installations. A 10-year warranty adds long-term support, helping justify procurement through reduced risk and predictable maintenance planning.
By reducing surge-related outages and protecting critical drives and controllers, you can lower unplanned downtime and maintenance costs. The remote Alarm/Form C relay enables proactive alerts, enabling faster response and reduced repair costs, contributing to lower total cost of ownership over the asset lifecycle.
