FAQs
SPC080480Y5P is designed for straightforward integration with 277/480V panelboards and applies to many standard industrial enclosures. Its external side mounting minimizes panel modifications, while the Form C alarm outputs enable quick signaling to existing monitoring systems. To ensure compatibility, verify catalog number SPC080480Y5P, space for mounting, and available alarm circuit connections prior to retrofit.
Key specs include an 80 kAIC interrupt rating, UL 1449 certification, and a 277/480V Wye rating within a NEMA 4X enclosure. These features translate to robust transient suppression, durable operation in challenging environments, and compliance with industry standards. The integrated alarm and relay outputs enhance fault visibility and reduce mean time to repair.
Yes. The NEMA 4X enclosure provides protection against dust, water, and corrosion, making it appropriate for outdoor installations and washdown areas common in manufacturing and processing facilities. Pairing this with UL 1449 protection ensures reliable service in harsh environments while maintaining ease of maintenance through accessible external mounting and signaling.
The device carries UL 1449 certification for surge protection effectiveness and is housed in a NEMA 4X enclosure for environmental resilience. Its 80 kAIC interrupt rating reinforces protection against high-energy transients, and the alarm/Form C outputs support integration with facility monitoring systems, aiding regulatory compliance and audit readiness.
The unit reduces downtime by limiting transient damage to essential equipment, lowering replacement and service costs. The 10-year warranty, UL certification, and durable NEMA 4X housing contribute to predictable maintenance and long asset life. Remote alarm signaling further decreases unplanned maintenance visits and accelerates fault resolution.
