FAQs
The SPC050415Y7P uses external side mounting, designed for straightforward installation into existing switchgear or control panels. It fits 240/400V Wye systems and can be integrated alongside other protection devices. Ensure proper clearance around the enclosure for heat dissipation and follow manufacturer guidelines for secure fastenings and wiring to minimize voltage drop and ensure reliable operation.
A 50 kA surge rating means the device can safely absorb large transient events without letting damaging voltage reach protected circuits. This reduces the risk of PLC, drive, and controller damage during lightning or switching disturbances, which lowers downtime and replacement costs while preserving process continuity in harsh industrial settings.
Yes. The SPC050415Y7P is specifically rated for 240/400V Wye networks and is enclosed in a rugged NEMA 4X housing, enabling reliable operation in dust, moisture, and outdoor or workshop environments. The combination of voltage rating and enclosure makes it well suited for factory floors, outdoor panels, and weather-exposed installations.
The SPC050415Y7P is UL 1449 listed, confirming compliance with a leading surge protection standard. It also features a durable NEMA 4X enclosure, which indicates strong protection against dust and water ingress. These certifications support reliability in industrial panels and critical systems while aligning with common procurement and compliance requirements.
With a 10-year warranty and minimal ongoing maintenance, the SPC050415Y7P offers predictable ownership costs and shielded downtime. The device reduces unplanned outages from power transients, extending asset life for controllers and drives and lowering replacement and service expenses over the product lifecycle.
