Audible alarm provides immediate fault notification. This enhances operator awareness and speeds response times, reducing unplanned downtime and extending equipment life. Applied in panel boards and machine control applications in manufacturing lines where quick fault signaling matters most. Feature: 100 kAIC interrupt rating. Business Impact: High energy surge handling minimizes downstream damage to motors and drives, reducing maintenance needs. Application: Motor control centers (MCCs) and critical loads on busy production lines. Feature: NEMA 4X enclosure. Business Impact: Weather- and washdown-resistant protection lowers failure risk in harsh environments. Application: Outdoor panels, damp/dirty environments, and food & beverage lines requiring robust enclosure integrity. Feature: External side mounting. Business Impact: Simplifies retrofit and saves panel space, enabling faster installations and easier future upgrades. Application: Existing control panels and modular switchboards where space is at a premium. Feature: 240V delta (4W+G) rating. Business Impact: Ensures compatibility with common industrial power networks, enabling plant-wide protection with minimal wiring changes. Application: Plant-wide surge protection across feeders and control circuits in manufacturing facilities.

FAQs
To install the SPC100240H3P, allocate space for the external side mounting and ensure the enclosure matches a NEMA 4X rating for weather and washdown resilience. Verify panel cutouts fit the 5.5 inch depth and 3.19 inch width, and maintain clearance for the audible alarm and wiring terminals. Use UL 1449 guidelines for safe mounting.
The 100 kAIC interrupt rating indicates the SPD can safely interrupt very large surge currents that occur in industrial environments, protecting downstream equipment such as motors and drives. This high-energy capability minimizes transformer and switchgear stress, reduces unplanned downtime, and supports compliance with industry standards in manufacturing lines that experience high transient energy.
Yes, the SPC100240H3P is UL 1449 listed, with a NEMA 4X enclosure for rugged outdoor and washdown environments. In addition to protection against surges, the audible alarm provides immediate fault indication, supporting quick maintenance decisions and helping facilities meet electrical safety and reliability targets in industrial settings. It is designed for 240V delta systems (4W+G) and fits control panels, MCCs, and machine shops.
Industries with intensive motor control and delicate electronic systems benefit most, including manufacturing lines, CNC and machine control panels, MCCs, and plant infrastructure feeders. The SPC100240H3P protects critical loads from transient events, supports uptime, and reduces downtime costs, while its audible alarm aids rapid fault diagnosis during routine maintenance and inspections.
Deploying the SPC100240H3P offers a predictable return by reducing unplanned downtime, extending motor and drive life, and lowering maintenance frequency. The 10-year warranty reinforces long-term cost savings, UL 1449 compliance streamlines procurement and safety audits, and external side mounting eases retrofits, enabling faster payback on control-panel upgrades.
