FAQs
The SPC080120N1P is designed for external side mounting, simplifying retrofit into most standard electrical panels. It supports 120 V single-phase service and fits alongside common Eaton or compatible panel configurations, reducing lead times and wiring complexity while maintaining code-compliant surge protection.
This device offers an 80 kA surge rating, delivering robust transient suppression for sensitive electronics, programmable logic controllers, and motor drives. By diverting surge energy away from protected circuits, it minimizes voltage overshoot and protects downstream equipment during utility or switching transients.
Yes. The SPC080120N1P features a NEMA 4X enclosure, providing excellent protection against dust, water, and corrosion. This makes it appropriate for outdoor enclosures, damp locations, and challenging industrial settings where reliable protection is essential.
Ideal for control panels, distribution boards, and industrial applications with 120 V single-phase systems, the SPC080120N1P protects PLCs, drives, relays, and instrumentation from voltage spikes. It supports panel modernization programs and new builds, helping maintain uptime in manufacturing, processing, and facilities environments.
Surge protection devices like the SPC080120N1P require minimal ongoing maintenance, thanks to passive design and no moving parts. The 10-year warranty from Eaton reduces risk and total cost of ownership, while UL 1449 compliance helps ensure regulatory alignment and predictable performance over the life of the equipment.
