80 kAIC surge capability provides robust transient suppression that protects downstream drives, PLCs, and motors. This reduces unplanned outages and maintenance disruptions on production lines in 277/480V networks, supporting higher equipment reliability in manufacturing environments. The 277/480V Wye configuration ensures seamless integration with common industrial feeders and control panels, enabling quick deployment in new builds or retrofits. Filtering minimizes EMI and RFI, improving PLC responsiveness and control stability in noisy electrical environments, which translates to more consistent process performance and fewer nuisance trips. The integrated Alarm and Form C relay deliver real-time fault signaling to BMS/SCADA systems, enabling proactive maintenance scheduling and faster isolation of faulty equipment. The rugged NEMA 4X enclosure is designed for washdowns and dusty plants, reducing corrosion risk and simplifying compliance in food & beverage, chemical, and water-treatment facilities. External side mounting and a compact footprint facilitate flexible installation in tight switchgear and control cabinets, saving panel space and reducing installation time. A 10-year warranty and UL 1449 certification provide long-term reliability and peace of mind for procurement and maintenance teams, supporting total cost of ownership goals and budget predictability.
