FAQs
The SPC050480Y6P is designed for external side mounting and 277/480V Wye systems. Its compact 5.5 in depth, 6 in height, and 3.19 in width fit common control cabinets, allowing straightforward retrofit without major enclosure modifications. Ensure mounting surface is clean and accessible to allow secure fasteners and proper wiring clearance for safe service.
A 50 kA surge rating means the SPD can safely absorb higher transient energies from lightning or switching events without compromising protection. This minimizes voltage spike propagation to downstream equipment, reducing insulation stress on motors, drives, and controllers and enabling longer service life and fewer unplanned outages.
Yes, for data centers and mission-critical panels that operate at 277/480V, the SPC050480Y6P offers robust transient suppression, UL 1449 compliance, and an alarm feature that supports monitoring. The NEMA 4X enclosure provides environmental protection, helping maintain uptime in challenging facility environments.
This surge protection device is UL 1449 listed, housed in a NEMA 4X enclosure for weather and corrosion resistance, and backed by a 10-year warranty. These certifications support reliability, electrical safety, and long-term compliance in industrial settings and regulated installations.
The 10-year warranty reduces long-term ownership risk, while filtering and alarm features enable proactive maintenance and fault detection. The device’s protection reduces downtime, extends the life of drives and controllers, and lowers maintenance and replacement costs in high-energy environments.
