FAQs
To install the SPC100120N1P, power down the equipment, mount the device using external side mounting per the installation diagram, and connect the line and load conductors per the schematic. Use appropriate gauge wiring, secure all connections, and verify proper clearances. Follow UL 1449 guidelines and ensure the device is protected from physical damage during wiring.
100 kAIC indicates the maximum short circuit current the SPD can interrupt without damage. This rating translates to strong transient protection for high energy events, reducing the likelihood of equipment damage in fault conditions. In practice, it enhances resilience for motors, drives, and control panels subject to large voltage spikes.
Yes. The device uses a NEMA 4X enclosure designed to resist weather, dust, and corrosion, making it suitable for outdoor installations, washdown areas, and damp environments. Ensure proper mounting and sealing as per the datasheet and maintain clearances to prevent exposure to direct water spray.
The SPC100120N1P is UL 1449 certified, confirming compliance with recognized surge protection safety and performance standards. This certification helps with regulatory approvals, customer qualifications, and auditing requirements in industrial facilities and data-driven environments.
The SPC100120N1P carries a 10-year warranty, offering long-term protection and predictable maintenance budgeting. ROI comes from reduced downtime, fewer component replacements, and improved power quality, which translates to higher equipment uptime, lower repair costs, and more reliable production schedules.
