Eaton SPC080240N5P Surge Protection Device - UL 1449

High-energy surge handling lets this device withstand 80 kAIC transients, protecting sensitive equipment and maintaining process continuity. By limiting peak voltage to the rated 240V, it reduces insulation stress and extends the life of drive electronics, controllers, and sensors. In industrial panels and motor control centers, this translates to fewer nuisance trips and cleaner power for critical loads. Rugged NEMA 4X enclosure delivers weather, dust, and moisture resistance for challenging environments. This protects SPD components from corrosive cleaners, humidity, and washdown cycles often encountered in manufacturing floors or outdoor installations, reducing maintenance frequency. Combined with external side mounting, it supports flexible siting and simplifies retrofits in existing distribution arrangements while preserving accessibility for diagnostics and replacement. Alarm and Form C relay provide immediate fault signaling, enabling proactive maintenance and faster MTBF tracking. The built-in alarm supports remote monitoring integration and audible/visual alerts at the panel, reducing mean time to detect and respond to surges. This is critical for safety-critical systems such as CNCs, conveyors, and HVAC controls where uptime matters. External side mounting simplifies field integration with minimal panel modification. The SPC series uses standard wiring practices and compact dimensions (5.5 in depth, 3.19 in width, 6 in height) to fit within common electrical enclosures without crowding. This compatibility reduces installation time, lowers labor costs, and accelerates project timelines for new builds or retrofits. UL 1449 listing and a 10-year warranty reinforce compliance and long-term value, helping procurement teams justify this investment across multiple sites. The device’s robust interrupt rating and 240V rating align with common industrial loads, enabling predictable protection budgets. In practice, facilities see fewer spare parts, lower energy losses from nuisance trips, and improved uptime economics. Industry context reveals that clean, well-designed SPD deployments reduce arc-flash exposure and improve maintenance safety by clearly signaling faults. The SPC080240N5P’s form factor and diagnostic capability make it straightforward for technicians to plan replacements during scheduled outages, further reducing unplanned downtime and enhancing overall reliability across utility, manufacturing, and data center environments.
