120 V single-phase protection → Reduces transient damage and unplanned downtime → Ideal for panel boards, control cabinets, and small drives installed in manufacturing lines, where even brief surges can disrupt machine cycles, degrade process sensors, and shorten the life of contactors and relays. The device delivers 80 kA surge capacity per mode, absorbing high-energy transients without compromising downstream devices, which translates into fewer failures on protective relays, motor starters, programmable logic controllers, and other critical equipment, while reducing spare-part inventories and service calls. By combining fast response with robust enclosure integrity, this SPC solution helps maintenance teams meet uptime targets across shifts and improves overall plant reliability by protecting both feeders and critical automation subsystems. NEMA 4X enclosure → Provides weatherproof and corrosion-resistant protection suitable for outdoor installations, damp locations, wash-down environments, and harsh industrial settings where equipment remains exposed to moisture, dust, and temperature fluctuations. Audible alarm → Delivers audible fault indication that accelerates troubleshooting, supports quick diagnostics, and reduces mean time to repair during surge events, enabling technicians to verify protection status without remote monitoring. Together, these features support regulatory compliance, simplify audits, and help engineers maintain consistent performance in environments where moisture, corrosives, and vibration pose ongoing challenges. External side mounting → Enables simple retrofit and space-efficient installation on existing panels, minimizing wiring complexity, panel dismantling, and downtime during upgrade projects or retrofits in retrofit-heavy facilities. UL 1449 listing → Validates safety and performance standards for surge protection devices, smoothing procurement, warranty claims, and regulatory documentation across capital projects and customer audits. Overall, the SPC080120N3P integrates seamlessly with SPC series and 120 V systems, delivering reliable protection, long service life, and straightforward maintenance for industrial control applications across diverse sectors.
