FAQs
When installing the SPC080480N7P with external side mounting, ensure sufficient clearance for wiring and cooling, secure the unit to a stable panel surface, and follow conduit routing best practices. Verify compatibility with 480 V single-phase circuits and confirm the enclosure remains sealed to preserve the NEMA 4X protection in washdown environments.
The SPC080480N7P is designed for 480 V single-phase systems and provides robust surge protection for those configurations. It is not intended for direct use in 3-phase networks without a device specifically rated for three-phase protection. For 3-phase systems, consider a purpose-built three-phase surge protector from the SPC family or an equivalent solution.
This device is UL 1449 listed, signaling conformity with recognized safety standards for surge protective devices. It also features a rugged NEMA 4X enclosure, indicating suitability for harsh environments with protection against dust and water. Together, these specifications support compliant installation in industrial facilities and supply chain requirements for safety certification.
Filtering reduces high-frequency noise from transients, improving signal integrity for control logic. The Form C relay provides a reliable dry-contact output for status indication or remote interlocking. Together, they enhance fault visibility, enable proactive maintenance, and support smarter automation strategies without additional signaling hardware.
The SPC080480N7P offers a 10-year warranty, reducing unexpected replacement costs and downtime. With no moving parts and sealed enclosure, maintenance is typically limited to periodic inspection and verification of wiring integrity. When a surge event is detected or protection margins decay, refer to the manufacturer’s datasheet for replacement guidance to maintain optimal panel protection.
