FAQs
The SPC050480Y2P is designed for external side mounting in 277/480V Wye configurations and comes in a compact footprint suitable for confined panels. Plan for secure wall or panel mounting, ensure proper clearance for heat dissipation, and verify clearance to observe the NEMA 4X protection rating during outdoor or washdown installation. Use compatible conductors and observe UL 1449 wiring guidelines for safe energization.
This device provides a 50 kA surge rating with UL 1449 certification and UL1283 5th Edition filtering. It is built to clamp transient energy quickly, protecting downstream equipment such as motors, drives, and control panels from damaging voltage spikes and EMI, while maintaining signal integrity for sensitive electronics.
Yes. The SPC050480Y2P utilizes a NEMA 4X enclosure, offering robust protection against dust, water, and harsh conditions. This makes it suitable for outdoor installations, washdown areas, and industrial settings where reliable surge protection must withstand environmental exposure without compromising performance.
The device carries UL 1449 certification and UL1283 5th Edition filtering, confirming compliance with national safety and EMI standards. The NEMA 4X enclosure further supports environmental compliance for indoor and outdoor installations, helping facilities meet regulatory and insurance requirements while reducing risk.
By limiting transient damage, reducing downtime, and extending the life of downstream equipment, the SPC050480Y2P lowers maintenance costs and replacement cycles for motors, drives, and control gear. Its long 10-year warranty adds predictable lifecycle costs, making it a cost-effective choice for panel builders and industrial operators seeking reliable protection.
