Eaton SPC080415Y3P Surge Protection Device - UL 1449
Part Number: SPC080415Y3P
Quick Summary
Eaton SPC080415Y3P surge protection device protects electrical systems from transient overvoltage in industrial panels. This solution helps engineers avoid costly downtime and equipment damage by limiting spike energy before it reaches sensitive loads. UL 1449 listing and a rugged NEMA 4X enclosure ensure safe operation in harsh environments, while the 80 kAIC interrupt rating adds a generous safety margin for high-energy events. Designed for 240/400V Wye systems, it also supports easy retrofit in existing SP C series layouts, delivering reliable protection with a long-term maintenance approach and a 10-year warranty. This combination of protection, durability, and serviceability translates to lower total cost of ownership for industrial facilities.

Feature → Business Impact → Application: The SPC080415Y3P delivers an 80 kAIC interrupt rating, meeting high-energy fault conditions and minimizing downstream damage to breakers, transformers, and sensitive electronics. This translates to reduced downtime, lower maintenance costs, and safer startup sequences in manufacturing lines and data centers. Application-wise, it suits large panels and switchgear in harsh environments where surge events are frequent, such as outdoor feeders and industrial automation racks. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Its 240/400V Wye configuration aligns with typical three-phase power distribution in industrial plants, enabling seamless integration with existing electrical infrastructure and control systems. This reduces wiring complexity and installation time, supporting faster project commissioning and improved system uptime in machine stations and paint booths. Feature → Business Impact → Application: NEMA 4X enclosure provides water, dust, and corrosion resistance, enabling placement in exposed or damp locations without enclosure breaches. This enhances reliability for outdoor substations, outdoor panels, and washdown areas in food & beverage or chemical processing facilities.Feature → Business Impact → Application: External side mounting simplifies retrofit and field upgrades, offering flexible mounting options in crowded panels and retrofit projects without heavy disassembly. This is ideal for upgrading legacy protection schemes in existing automation cabinets and control panels without expansive rework. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Audible alarm visibility improves fault indication in noisy industrial environments, enabling quick corrective action by maintenance teams and control room operators. It supports faster diagnostics and reduces mean time to repair in mission-critical lines, including packaging, automotive, and material handling systems. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The SPC series foundation and compact form factor help facilities consolidate protection without expanding cabinet footprints, which is crucial in space-constrained switchgear rooms and retrofits where every inch counts. Combined with a 10-year warranty and UL 1449 compliance, this delivers long-term cost efficiency and regulatory peace of mind.

FAQs
The SPC080415Y3P is designed for 240/400V three-phase Wye systems and supports external side mounting, making it ideal for retrofit into existing panels. Its NEMA 4X enclosure protects against dust, water, and corrosion in harsh environments, while the audible alarm provides immediate status indication for quick maintenance actions.
An 80 kAIC interrupt rating means the device can safely interrupt high-energy surge currents up to 80 kiloampere rms per sym. This reduces the risk of damage to downstream equipment, transformers, and control electronics during lightning or switching transients, improving overall system reliability in industrial settings.
Yes, the SPC080415Y3P is part of the SPC surge protection family and is designed for compatibility with standard SPC-related protection schemes. It supports external side mounting and aligns with typical Eaton panel architectures, allowing straightforward integration into retrofit projects without extensive rework.
This device is UL 1449 listed and housed in a NEMA 4X enclosure, which provides protection against moisture, dust, and corrosion. These certifications and ratings support compliance in harsh industrial environments, outdoor installations, and washdown areas, giving engineers confidence in long-term performance.
Investing in the SPC080415Y3P reduces maintenance costs and downtime by protecting critical loads from surges, extending the life of downstream equipment, and lowering replacement expenses. With a 10-year warranty and robust field performance, facilities often see a favorable total cost of ownership over the device lifecycle.
