Feature: 120/240 V split-phase input enables compatibility with common commercial and industrial panels. Business Impact: Simplifies retrofits and minimizes wiring complexity, reducing installation time and risk. Application: Suitable for mid-size panel boards and equipment rooms where both 120 V and 240 V circuits are present. Feature: 80 kAIC interrupt rating provides high surge handling capacity. Business Impact: Limits transient energy to protect critical loads, lowering the probability of cascading equipment failures and downtime. Application: Data centers, control cabinets, and manufacturing line controllers where surge events are frequent. Feature: NEMA 4X enclosure with external side mounting. Business Impact: Delivers reliable protection in harsh environments and facilitates field upgrades without removing existing enclosures. Application: Outdoor, damp, or dusty installations and retrofit projects in industrial facilities. Feature: Filtering, Alarm, and Form C relay. Business Impact: Reduces nuisance transients, enables remote fault signaling, and supports control-system integration for proactive maintenance. Application: Panel boards connected to building management systems or PLCs requiring fault indication. Feature: UL 1449 listed protection and 10-year warranty. Business Impact: Promotes regulatory compliance and lowers total cost of ownership through a long-lasting protection solution. Application: Facilities seeking durable protection with vendor-backed assurance across mission-critical processes. Feature: Compact footprint and specific dimensions (5.5 in L, 6 in H, 3.19 in W) with a weight of 2.5 lb. Business Impact: Easier installation in crowded panels and limited spaces, enabling safer, cleaner wiring layouts. Application: Retrofit and new-build installations where space is at a premium.

FAQs
When mounting externally on the side of a panel, ensure adequate clearance for wiring access and cooling. The SPC080240S8P is designed for external side mounting with a NEMA 4X enclosure, which simplifies retrofits and outdoor installations. Confirm compatibility with the panel’s knockout patterns and secure mounting hardware to maintain UL 1449 protection and reliable fault signaling through the integrated alarm relay.
Yes. The device is specified for 120/240 V split-phase systems and provides an 80 kAIC interrupt rating. It carries UL 1449 listing and comes in a rugged NEMA 4X enclosure, with built-in filtering, an alarm, and a Form C relay for fault signaling, making it suitable for demanding commercial and industrial applications.
The SPC080240S8P includes active surge filtering to minimize high-frequency transients, an alarm output, and a Form C relay for dry-contact fault signaling. These features allow proactive maintenance awareness, easier integration with PLCs or building management systems, and a clearer indication of protection events, improving overall system reliability and operability.
The SPC080240S8P carries a 10-year warranty and UL 1449 certification, indicating long-term reliability under typical installation conditions. Maintenance planning should follow the manufacturer’s datasheet, particularly regarding fault signaling via the Form C relay and periodic inspections to confirm continued protection after any overvoltage event.
By reducing downtime from transient surges, protecting expensive motors and drives, and enabling remote fault signaling, this SPD lowers repair and replacement costs. Its rugged enclosure and long warranty reduce lifecycle expenses, while its compatibility with common 120/240 V panels supports faster deployments and compliance with safety and reliability standards.
