Feature → Business Impact → Application: The SPC100120N6P delivers a 100 kAIC interrupt rating, enabling robust surge handling for industrial panels, which reduces the risk of equipment damage and suppresses nuisance tripping. This directly translates to lower maintenance costs and higher line uptime in manufacturing lines, machine controls, and process equipment. Application-wise, it is well suited for 120 V single-phase installations in control cabinets and distributed power panels. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The rugged NEMA 4X enclosure provides ingress protection and corrosion resistance in damp or dusty environments, allowing outdoor or harsh-indoor deployments without extra enclosures. Practically, this supports reliable operation in packaging lines, food and beverage processing, and outdoor control houses where environmental exposure is a concern. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Built-in filtering and alarm functionality enables continuous monitoring of surge events and circuit health, facilitating proactive maintenance and quick response to anomalies. This supports plant-wide monitoring integrations and helps facilities meet compliance and safety standards. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The SPC series design with external side mounting simplifies retrofit and panel upgrades, accelerating installation, reducing panel downtime, and improving serviceability. It is particularly advantageous for upgrading legacy systems in electrical rooms or switchgear in mid- to high-volume operations. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 120 V single-phase compatibility aligns with standard wiring practices and UL 1449 compliance reinforces safety documentation and warranty coverage. Practically, it supports easier procurement, smoother commissioning, and lower total cost of ownership for commercial HVAC controls, robotics cells, and process sensors requiring reliable transient protection.

FAQs
The SPC100120N6P is designed for 120 V, single-phase power in control panels, machine rooms, and distributed power cabinets. It uses external side mounting for straightforward integration and aligns with standard panel layouts, minimizing retrofit complexity and panel downtime while maintaining robust surge protection.
A 100 kAIC interrupt rating indicates the device can safely interrupt extremely high surge currents without internal damage, reducing the risk of catastrophic failure. For facilities, this translates to improved protection for motors, drives, PLCs, and other sensitive electronics during lightning events or switching surges.
Yes. The unit features a rugged NEMA 4X enclosure, providing ingress protection against dust and water, enabling outdoor or damp indoor installations. This makes it suitable for outdoor panels, wash-down areas, and challenging factory floors where exposure is common.
The device includes filtering to attenuate high-frequency transients and an alarming mechanism to alert operators of surge events or health status. In practice, this supports proactive maintenance, quick fault isolation, and integration with plant monitoring systems or local indicators for rapid response.
The SPC100120N6P is UL 1449 listed and carries a 10-year warranty, reflecting its compliance and long-term value. The rugged enclosure and channel-specific ratings help facilities meet safety and reliability requirements for industrial power protection.
