FAQs
The SPC100208Y1P is designed for external side mounting, which simplifies wiring access and service. Ensure the mounting surface is level and within reach of the associated conductors, provide adequate clearance for heat dissipation, and follow standard enclosure mounting practices to maintain NEMA 4X integrity. Verify wiring diagrams and torque specs per Eaton documentation to minimize connection resistance and maintain surge performance.
Yes, the SPC100208Y1P carries UL 1449 certification, confirming it meets recognized surge protection performance standards. This provides validated protection against transient overvoltages, supports compliance during audits, and helps ensure predictable response during surge events. For system integrators, UL 1449 alignment reduces qualification risk when upgrading panels and MCCs in regulated environments.
Absolutely. The device is rated for 120/208V Wye configurations and is enclosed in a rugged NEMA 4X housing, making it appropriate for dirty, humid, or outdoor conditions. Its external side mounting and robust construction support reliable protection across factory floors, data centers, and production lines that demand durable, compliant surge protection.
The SPC100208Y1P includes a 10-year warranty, reflecting Eaton’s confidence in long-term protection performance. Routine maintenance is typically minimal; however, periodic inspection of the enclosure, mounting integrity, and terminal connections is recommended. For ongoing reliability, integrate it into your preventive maintenance schedule alongside other overvoltage protection devices.
A 100 kAIC interrupt rating means the device can withstand large transient events without letting damaging surge energy reach downstream equipment. This reduces failure risk, extends the life of motors, drives, and controllers, and lowers spare-part and downtime costs. In high-change environments or areas prone to electrical storms, the protection level directly supports improved uptime and predictable maintenance budgeting.
