FAQs
SPC080120N5P is designed for external side mounting in 120 V single-phase circuits. Plan for proper panel space, verify conductor gauge for line and load terminations, and follow standard surge protector wiring practices. The device’s compact dimensions (5.5 in L x 3.19 in W x 6 in H) help fit into typical control cabinets, and its 2.5 lb weight facilitates straightforward mounting on standard rails or panels.
The unit provides an 080 kA per-event surge rating at 120 V, single-phase operation. This rating targets transients common to industrial equipment while maintaining compatibility with standard plant power supplies, ensuring reliable protection for drives, relays, and control logic.
Yes. The protector comes in a NEMA 4X enclosure, offering corrosion resistance and weatherproofing suitable for outdoor panels or damp/well-washed production areas. This makes it a strong choice for process lines, outdoor enclosures, and harsh manufacturing environments.
The device is UL 1449 certified, providing a recognized standard for transient voltage suppression. Combined with a 10-year warranty, this supports long-term reliability, regulatory compliance, and favorable procurement/maintenance planning for industrial facilities.
The Alarm and Form C relay enable remote fault signaling to PLCs or SCADA systems, allowing predictive maintenance and immediate response to faults. This reduces unplanned downtime, shortens repair windows, and improves asset uptime, delivering a favorable return on investment through improved visibility and faster issue resolution.
