FAQs
Installation starts by selecting a suitable 480V Delta panel location and confirming clearance for the external-side mounting footprint. Mount the unit on the panel exterior using the provided hardware, connect line and load conductors per Eaton wiring diagrams, and verify appurtenance compatibility with existing protection schemes. The NEMA 4X enclosure keeps integration robust in challenging environments, and the included alarm wiring supports remote fault signaling.
The SPC050480D6P provides a 50 kA surge rating with integrated filtering and alarm capabilities. This combination reduces transient events that could damage programmable logic controllers, drives, and sensors, while the alarm output supports proactive monitoring. Its UL 1449 certification confirms compliance with established surge protection standards, giving engineers confidence in performance during faults.
Yes. The device is housed in a NEMA 4X enclosure designed for damp, dusty, and washdown-prone environments, making it suitable for outdoor or semi-outdoor panel installations. This rugged construction minimizes weather-related failure modes and supports reliable operation across diverse industrial settings, from manufacturing floors to processing plants.
The SPC050480D6P carries UL 1449 certification, and it uses a NEMA 4X enclosure for rugged protection. These features align with common compliance requirements for electrical protection devices in industrial facilities. A decade-long warranty further reinforces long-term reliability, helping maintenance programs justify protection investments and streamline regulatory auditing.
By mitigating transient surges and signaling faults through alarms, the SPC050480D6P reduces unplanned downtime and protects expensive drives and control systems. Its durable enclosure and long warranty translate to lower replacement and maintenance costs over time, delivering measurable ROI through extended asset life, fewer nuisance trips, and improved system availability.
