SPC
The SPC050600Y5P delivers a robust 50 kA surge rating per phase, designed to absorb high-energy transients in industrial environments. By limiting peak voltages seen by drives, PLCs, and motor starters, it minimizes nuisance trips and protects critical assets from sudden faults. This translates to shorter unplanned downtime, extended component life, and measurable reductions in maintenance and replacement costs over the system's lifecycle. The device operates on 347/600V Wye configurations, aligning with common industrial feeders and equipment found in manufacturing facilities. This broad voltage compatibility simplifies panel design and reduces the number of SPDs required on multi-voltage installations. Owners benefit from streamlined procurement and consistent protection across lines feeding PLCs, HMIs, and servo drives. Enclosed in a NEMA 4X housing, the SPD is engineered for wet, dusty, and corrosive environments. Its rugged enclosure supports outdoor installations and washdown areas without compromising performance. This durability helps maintain protection levels in harsh plants, warehouses, and food and beverage processing lines. An integrated alarm and Form C relay provide immediate status signaling for remote monitoring and preventive maintenance. You can wire the relay to a PLC or building management system to trigger alerts when protection events occur. This capability improves outage response, reduces MTTR, and supports compliance with plant-wide reliability programs. External side mounting simplifies retrofits and new installations by minimizing chassis modifications and panel clearing work. With UL 1449 listing and a transferable 10-year warranty, the SPC050600Y5P meets stringent safety standards and supplier expectations. Together, these features support total cost of ownership, faster project timelines, and confidence across procurement and engineering teams.
