High surge current protection translates to fewer nuisance trips and reduced transformer and drive damage in industrial panels. The 80 kAIC rating absorbs large transient energies, supporting longer equipment life and lower repair costs. This is particularly valuable for control cabinets feeding motor drives, CNC equipment, and automation interfaces. NEMA 4X enclosure and rugged design shield the device from washdown, dust, and corrosion, ensuring uptime in harsh environments and reducing maintenance cycles. This protection is critical in manufacturing floors, packaging lines, and outdoor panels where environmental ingress is a ongoing concern. Form C relay provides contact-based signaling to PLCs or SCADA systems, enabling remote status monitoring and fail-safe interlocks. It simplifies integration with existing protection schemes and reduces wiring complexity. External side mounting minimizes field wiring time and enables straightforward installation within crowded panels, aligning with standard 240V configurations and expediting retrofit projects. A 10-year warranty and UL 1449 listing offer procurement confidence and long-term cost-of-ownership advantages, supporting budgeting for enterprise-scale deployments and maintenance planning. The SPC series design promotes consistency across machines, simplifying spare parts planning and technician training, which translates to lower total cost of ownership and improved uptime across the line.

FAQs
The SPC080240N4P is rated for 240V, single-phase operation and delivers up to 80 kAIC interrupt capacity. It carries UL 1449 certification for surge protection, a NEMA 4X enclosure for rugged environments, and a Form C relay for remote signaling. External side mounting simplifies field wiring, with a compact footprint suitable for control panels and automation cabinets.
Install with external side mounting to align with standard panel footprints. Verify 240V single-phase supply, connect input and load leads per the wiring diagram, and wire the Form C contact if remote signaling is required. Ensure adequate clearance for heat dissipation, and test with a surge simulator or approved inspection procedure before commissioning.
Yes. The device comes in a NEMA 4X enclosure, which provides protection against water, dust, and corrosion. This makes it well-suited for washdown areas, outdoor panels, and dusty factory floors where environmental ingress could compromise protection devices.
The Form C relay provides a dry-contact signaling path that can be wired to a PLC or SCADA system for remote status, alarms, or interlock logic. This enables proactive protection strategy, faster fault localization, and easier integration with existing protection schemes without additional wiring complexity.
The 80 kAIC protection and UL 1449 listing reduce downstream equipment damage and unplanned downtime, while the 10-year warranty lowers maintenance risk and replacement costs. For OEMs and end users, this translates to lower total cost of ownership, fewer spare parts, and more predictable budgeting across the production line.
