FAQs
Install the SPC100240D3P using its external side mounting to align with your panel’s access points. Ensure proper clearance for venting and the audible alarm, connect per the 240V Delta rating, and verify UL 1449 compliance after wiring. Always follow Eaton installation guidelines and lockout/tagout procedures to minimize commissioning risk.
100 kAIC is the maximum interrupt rating, indicating the device can safely absorb and divert extremely large transient surges without failing. This translates to higher protection for sensitive drives, PLCs, and motors, reducing the likelihood of damage during high-energy events and improving system reliability.
Yes. The unit uses a NEMA 4X enclosure designed for moisture, dust, and washdown resistance, making it appropriate for outdoor installations and challenging factory environments. This enclosure rating helps ensure consistent performance where exposure to moisture or particulate is a concern.
The SPC100240D3P includes an audible alarm to indicate fault or surge conditions, facilitating rapid maintenance actions. Routine checks should verify enclosure integrity, wiring connections, and alarm functionality to maintain peak protection and minimize unexpected downtime.
Deploying the SPC100240D3P reduces unplanned outages and hardware wear by suppressing damaging transients, which lowers repair costs and downtime. Coupled with a 10-year warranty and straightforward installation, it offers predictable lifecycle cost, easier budgeting, and scalable protection across multiple panels as the line expands.
