FAQs
Installation begins with confirming panel compatibility for a single-phase, external-side mounted SPD. Mount the device in the enclosure, connect line and load conductors according to the schematic, and wire the Form C relay to the control system for status signaling. Verify enclosure rating (NEMA 4X) and ensure the UL 1449 listing is referenced in installation documentation for compliance.
Key specs include a 488 V voltage rating, an 80 kAIC interrupt rating, and a surge energy rating aligned with the SPC series. It is a single-phase device with an external-side mounting method, housed in a NEMA 4X enclosure and featuring a Form C relay for signaling. The UPC is 786680214349, and the catalog number is SPC080480N4P.
UL 1449 listing confirms the device meets recognized safety and performance standards for surge protection, reducing risk for the end user. The NEMA 4X enclosure adds environmental protection against moisture, dust, and corrosion, enabling reliable operation in harsh indoor or outdoor settings typical of industrial environments.
Yes. The NEMA 4X enclosure rating paired with UL 1449 protection makes the SPC080480N4P appropriate for exterior panels and rugged indoor environments. Its robust construction, combined with a single-phase 488 V rating and Form C signaling, supports reliable protection in demanding industrial sites.
The SPC series SPD is designed to minimize unplanned downtime and equipment damage from transients, reducing maintenance costs over time. With a 10-year warranty and durable enclosure, total cost of ownership lowers for capital projects and OEMs, while maintenance teams gain predictable protection and easier compliance reporting.
