FAQs
The SPC080240N8P should be mounted on the panel's external side to minimize panel intrusion. Connect line and load conductors per the catalog and ensure proper grounding. Use the built-in alarm and Form C relay outputs for status signaling to your PLC or BMS. Verify UL 1449 compliance during commissioning and follow local electrical codes for outdoor or damp locations.
This device offers an 80 kAIC interrupt rating and 240V single-phase operation, with filtering to mitigate high-frequency transients. It also provides alarming signals and a Form C relay for remote protection signaling, enabling faster fault isolation and system signaling to automation networks.
Yes. The unit is housed in a NEMA 4X enclosure, which provides weather-resistant protection suitable for outdoor and damp environments. This makes it a reliable choice for outdoor switchgear, plant entrances, and loading docks where exposure to moisture or dust is a concern.
The SPC080240N8P carries UL 1449 certification for surge protection performance, along with a rugged NEMA 4X enclosure for environmental protection. While CE or SIL ratings are not listed for this model, UL compliance and enclosure protection support regulatory alignment and reliability in industrial settings.
The integrated alarm and Form C relay provide immediate fault visibility, enabling proactive maintenance and reduced unplanned downtime. Coupled with a 10-year warranty, the SPC080240N8P lowers total cost of ownership by extending equipment life and improving uptime for critical lines and machines.
