Eaton SPC080120N7P Surge Protection Device - UL 1449
Part Number: SPC080120N7P
Quick Summary
The Eaton SPC080120N7P surge protection device protects essential electrical systems from transient overvoltages in industrial environments. When surges strike, equipment like PLCs, drives, and sensors can trip or suffer costly damage, increasing downtime. UL 1449 listing and the rugged NEMA 4X enclosure provide reliability in harsh environments, while a 10‑year warranty reinforces long-term value. Designed for 120 V single‑phase systems, it also features filtering and a Form C relay for signaling and control integration, helping manufacturers meet uptime and safety targets. Its external side mounting simplifies retrofit in existing cabinets, reducing install time and wiring complexity. For engineers and procurement teams, that translates to faster project timelines and lower total cost of ownership.

FAQs
The SPC080120N7P is specifically designed for 120 V single‑phase systems and installs from the outside of the enclosure, minimizing panel teardown. Its dimensions (5.5 in depth, 6 in height, 3.19 in width) fit many standard panels, and external mounting simplifies retrofits without extensive wiring changes. Always verify clearance and mounting orientation to maintain NEMA 4X integrity.
An 080 kA rating denotes the device’s ability to absorb very high-energy surges without compromising protection. This translates to better resilience for high-energy events, such as lightning strikes or switching transients, reducing the likelihood of downstream equipment damage and unplanned downtime in control systems, drives, and PLCs.
Yes. The SPC080120N7P uses a NEMA 4X enclosure designed for wet, dusty, and harsh industrial environments. UL 1449 certification further confirms electrical safety and performance under surge conditions. While outdoor use is supported in appropriate installations, follow standard weatherproofing practices and position away from direct exposure to irrigation or corrosive agents.
The unit is UL 1449 listed, which validates surge protection performance and safety. The NEMA 4X enclosure demonstrates suitability for harsh environments. These certifications help meet electrical safety programs, maintenance schedules, and supplier qualification requirements in manufacturing, oil and gas, and process industries, supporting regulatory compliance and risk management.
Maintenance is typically low-impact; perform periodic visual inspections and verify no overheating or signs of wear. The 10‑year warranty reduces lifecycle costs, and improved uptime from robust surge protection lowers maintenance labor and replacement costs for sensitive devices like PLCs and drives, delivering faster payback in O&M budgets over the device’s service life.
