277 V single-phase operation simplifies integration with standard facility power rails and control circuits. This reduces wiring complexity, shortens installation time, and minimizes panel modifications for retrofits. In industrial environments, clean voltage alignment improves surge protection performance and reduces nuisance tripping in critical control loops. An 80 kAIC interrupt rating means the SPC080277N5P can absorb high-energy surges without transferring damaging energy downstream. This translates to longer life for sensitive electronics, fewer unexpected outages, and lower replacement costs across motor drives, PLCs, and sensors. The rating is especially beneficial in high-demand applications such as packaging lines and robotics cells. The NEMA 4X enclosure provides rugged protection against dust, moisture, and washdown conditions. This durability supports reliable operation on busy plant floors, outdoor installations, and challenging environments where exposure is common. The enclosure also facilitates external side mounting and straightforward retrofits into existing panels. Alarms and Form C relay offer immediate status signaling for proactive maintenance. Operators can integrate with SCADA or building management systems to trigger alarms when surges are detected or protection is engaged. This capability reduces mean time to repair and improves overall equipment effectiveness. External side mounting enables easier installation in crowded panels and retrofits without interior rework. The compact footprint (5.5 in L, 3.19 in W, 6 in H) and modest 2.5 lb weight streamline upgrades in space-constrained panels. Coupled with UL 1449 certification and a 10-year warranty, this device delivers long-term reliability and predictable total cost of ownership.

FAQs

Begin by verifying panel clearance and door sealing for NEMA 4X protection. Mount the device on the exterior frame per Eaton's instructions, ensuring secure fasteners and proper grounding. Connect the 277 V supply and the protected load according to the wiring diagram, and wire the alarm/Form C relay for remote signaling to your PLC or SCADA system.
Key specifications include a 277 V voltage rating, single-phase configuration, and an 80 kAIC interrupt rating. The device features a NEMA 4X enclosure, UL 1449 certification, a 2.5 lb weight, and dimensions of 5.5 in L × 3.19 in W × 6 in H. It also includes an alarm relay (Form C) for status signaling.
The Alarm and Form C relay provide dry-contact signaling that indicates protection events or tripping conditions. When energized by a surge event, the relay changes state, enabling remote alerts via PLC or SCADA. This facilitates proactive maintenance, faster fault diagnosis, and safer shutdown procedures if needed.
Yes, the SPC080277N5P is UL 1449 certified for surge protection and comes in a rugged NEMA 4X enclosure, designed to resist dust, moisture, and washdown conditions. This makes it suitable for harsh industrial environments such as manufacturing floors and outdoor installations, with a 10-year warranty reinforcing long-term reliability.
Deploying this surge protector reduces unplanned downtime by shielding downstream equipment from transient events. Its 80 kAIC rating and durable enclosure lower replacement costs, while the alarm relay enables proactive maintenance. Over time, users can expect lower maintenance costs and faster payback through improved equipment uptime and better protection budgeting.
