Feature: 80 kAIC interrupt rating and 488 V operating voltage. Impact: This high-energy capability ensures transient surges are clipped before reaching sensitive drives, controllers, and I/O networks, translating into fewer component failures and lower repair costs. Application: Use in machine control panels, servo drives, and line start-ups where reliable surge protection directly boosts uptime and product throughput. Additionally, the robust electrical profile helps your maintenance team meet industrial safety standards without overdesigning the protection network. Feature: NEMA 4X enclosure construction. Impact: The rugged enclosure resists corrosion, dust, and washdowns, enabling safe operation in both indoor and outdoor environments. Application: Suitable for outdoor motor starters, process equipment outdoors, and washdown-ready production lines. This level of protection reduces enclosure-related failures and minimizes protective coatings or additional housings. Feature: External side mounting. Impact: Simplifies retrofits and minimizes panel modifications, speeding installation and reducing commissioning time. Application: Retrofit projects and space-constrained electrical cabinets where quick, clean integration matters. Feature: Alarm and Form C relay. Impact: Enables remote status signaling to a PLC or BMS, improving maintenance planning, alerting, and rapid fault isolation. Application: Centralized protection monitoring for production lines and critical assets, enabling proactive interventions and reduced downtime. Feature: 10 year warranty and UL 1449 certification. Impact: Aligns with procurement standards, lowers lifecycle costs, and ensures regulatory compliance. Application: Long-term asset protection in regulated facilities and mission-critical electrical systems.
