Feature: The SPC080480Y3P delivers an 80 kAIC interrupt rating, providing robust transient suppression for demanding industrial environments. This capability shields downstream equipment from high-energy surges that commonly occur on large motors, drives, and feeders. Business impact: By limiting voltage excursions, it reduces insulation stress, extends component life, and lowers the risk of unplanned downtime and cascading failures on critical lines. Application: Well suited for motor feeders and critical loads in manufacturing, data centers, and process-control systems where power quality is essential. | Feature: UL 1449 certification and a NEMA 4X enclosure provide essential protection in challenging environments. Business impact: This combination ensures regulatory compliance, longevity in wet or dusty settings, and predictable performance across the life of the installation. Application: Ideal for outdoor panels, factory floors, and harsh industrial spaces where environmental sealing and safety certification matter. | Feature: The SPC080480Y3P includes an audible alarm option to indicate fault conditions. Business impact: Real-time audible signaling accelerates fault detection, reduces investigative time, and improves maintenance planning. Application: Useful in large switchgear rooms or places with limited visibility, where quick identification of failed devices minimizes downtime. | Feature: Voltage rating of 277/480V Wye enables direct integration with common industrial power distributions. Business impact: Simplifies wiring, minimizes adapters, and reduces installation time and risk of misconnection. Application: Fits mid-to-large facilities with 277/480V services, including manufacturing lines and process control panels. | Feature: External side mounting and compact footprint simplify installation in restricted spaces. Business impact: Eases retrofits and reduces the need for gear rearrangement while improving serviceability. Application: Ideal for retrofit projects and spaces constrained by panel depth or mounting clearance. With dimensions 5.5 in depth, 6 in height, and 3.19 in width, it fits a wide range of panel configurations.

FAQs
SPC080480Y3P is designed for 277/480V Wye power distributions and can be mounted externally on motor feeder and panel setups. Its NEMA 4X enclosure supports installation in harsh industrial environments, including outdoor or damp locations, while UL 1449 certification confirms compliance with surge protection standards. The unit’s footprint and mounting method enable straightforward retrofits in existing switchgear without rewriting harnesses or layouts.
The SPC080480Y3P carries UL 1449 certification for surge protection performance and safety. It features a NEMA 4X enclosure for reliable protection against dust, water, and corrosion in demanding environments. These certifications help ensure code compliance, equipment protection, and long service life in industrial facilities such as manufacturing plants and data centers.
This surge protection device is ideal for motor feeders, line-side protection, and critical process controls across industrial power distributions. Its 277/480V Wye rating aligns with common facility mains, while the 80 kAIC interrupt rating handles high-energy transients. Applications include manufacturing lines, packaging, automation panels, and data centers where power quality directly impacts uptime and productivity.
With a 10-year warranty, the SPC080480Y3P offers long-term protection with predictable service life. Regular system checks should verify proper mounting and alarm functionality if the audible alarm option is installed. Routine inspections during preventive maintenance help ensure continued compliance with UL 1449 standards and environmental protection provided by the NEMA 4X enclosure.
Maximize performance by using external side mounting to simplify access and replacement without disassembling panels. Ensure proper clearance for cooling and wiring, verify 277/480V Wye compatibility, and test the audible alarm (if equipped) during commissioning. Adhering to these steps minimizes installation risk, reduces downtime, and enhances reliability of surge protection in busy industrial environments.
