80 kAIC surge capacity protects critical loads from high-energy transients, reducing unplanned downtime and costly repairs. This level of interrupt rating delivers fast clearance of surges, helping downstream devices such as drives and controllers survive peak events. In panel boards and control cabinets, SPC080240S4P acts as a first line of defense against utility spikes and switching surges, providing dependable protection under peak load conditions. 120/240 V split-phase operation aligns with standard North American electrical systems, simplifying retrofits and new installations alike. External side mounting eases integration into crowded or retrofit panels without wrestling internal clearances, while the compact footprint accelerates deployment in tight spaces. The NEMA 4X enclosure supports rugged environments, reducing corrosion risk and enabling safe outdoor use in conjunction with UL 1449 listing. The Form C relay offers signaling and fault indication for straightforward PLC or BMS integration, aiding proactive maintenance and rapid fault isolation. A 10-year warranty reinforces long-term reliability, helping facilities reduce maintenance costs and extend equipment life. Finally, the SPC series simplifies inventory management with a clear catalog number SPC080240S4P and standardized dimensions for predictable installation in mixed equipment zones.

FAQs
SPC080240S4P is designed for external side mounting in 120/240 V panel boards and control cabinets. It supports standard US power distribution configurations and fits typical enclosure footprints used in manufacturing facilities. With dimensions of 5.5 in depth, 6 in height, and 3.19 in width and a weight of about 2.5 lb, installation is straightforward and minimizes retrofitting effort.
Key performance specs include an 80 kAIC interrupt rating, 120/240 V split-phase operation, and a UL 1449 certification. The device's NEMA 4X enclosure supports rugged environments, while the Form C relay provides signaling capability for remote monitoring and integration with PLCs. These features reduce the risk of unexpected failures and shorten time-to-protect during commissioning.
Yes. The NEMA 4X enclosure rating ensures robust performance in dusty, humid, and washdown environments, enabling safe outdoor use and indoor installations near machinery. When installing outdoors, ensure proper sealing at conduit entries and follow enclosure mounting guidelines. The external side mounting also simplifies integration with existing outdoor panels, reducing the need for interior space modifications.
Maintenance and ROI benefits come from the 10-year warranty, UL 1449 protection, and reduced downtime from fast fault indication via the Form C relay. By catching surges before they propagate, downstream components experience less wear, fewer failures, and longer service life. In turn, maintenance windows expand, spare parts costs drop, and overall productivity improves.
To integrate the Form C relay with a PLC or BMS, wire the normally open and normally closed contacts to appropriate digital inputs, configure the logic for fault signaling, and verify supply isolation. Ensure compatible input voltages and provide proper surge filtering on the control side. Test signaling under fault conditions to confirm reliable operation.
