FAQs
The SPC080240H8P uses external side mounting and fits a compact footprint (5.5 in depth, 6 in height, 3.19 in width) with a 2.5 lb weight. It is rated for 240V delta systems and includes a NEMA 4X enclosure for indoor or protected outdoor use. Plan space for alarm wiring and Form C relay connections to ensure reliable monitoring.
The SPC080240H8P is rated for 80 kAIC surge capability and 240V delta (4W+G). It carries UL 1449 listing and is housed in a NEMA 4X enclosure. This combination supports high-energy transients while maintaining protection integrity in industrial power distributions and control cabinets.
Yes. With 80 kAIC protection and filtering, the SPC080240H8P guards motor drives, PLCs, and related electronics from transient overvoltages. Its Form C alarm relay enables proactive fault signaling, aiding change management and downtime reduction. The external mounting and compact form simplify retrofits in existing control rooms and new build panels alike.
The device is UL 1449 listed, ensuring compliance with recognized surge protection standards. It uses a rugged NEMA 4X enclosure suitable for damp, dusty, or outdoor environments. While CE marking and IP ratings are not specified in the data, the enclosure rating and UL listing provide robust protection for industrial installations.
By reducing transient-induced faults and protecting sensitive equipment, the SPC080240H8P lowers repair costs and unplanned downtime. The built-in alarm and Form C relay support condition monitoring, enabling preventive maintenance schedules. Over time, this translates to improved asset longevity, fewer panel outages, and a faster return on investment for manufacturing and processing facilities.
