SPC100240H7P uses a 240V delta (4W+G) configuration, designed to pair with common three‑phase motor loads and drive circuits. This compatibility reduces wiring complexity, minimizes the need for adapters, and speeds up commissioning in both new builds and retrofit projects. It is well suited for control panels, motor control centers, and outdoor enclosures in manufacturing and processing environments where compact, reliable protection is critical. By aligning with widely used motor protection schemes, it also streamlines spare parts planning and technician training. With a 100 kAIC interrupt rating, the device clamps high-energy transients without compromising downstream components across motors, drives, and PLCs. The SPC series is UL 1449 listed and includes integrated filtering to minimize EMI and noise propagation into sensitive control circuits. This combination enhances equipment life, reduces nuisance trips, and supports safer, more reliable operations in demanding industrial settings. The rugged design also simplifies routine maintenance checks and reduces unexpected service calls. Enclosed in a NEMA 4X rated housing, the unit resists moisture, dust, and washdown challenges typical of factory floors and outdoor lines. External side mounting offers flexible installation in crowded switchgear and retrofit projects, enabling quick upgrades to existing panels without major rework or downtime. The Filtering and a Form C relay provide both electrical noise suppression and signaling options for remote monitoring and control logic. This helps protect sensitive sensors and drives while enabling status feedback for condition-based maintenance programs and automation projects. The built‑in relay also supports straightforward integration with PLCs, HMIs, and SCADA systems. Compact footprint—5.5 in length, 6 in height, and 3.19 in width—and a weight of 2.5 lb simplify installation in limited spaces and densely populated panels. A 10-year warranty reinforces confidence in long-term performance, reducing total cost of ownership for mission-critical protections. When paired with other SPC series devices, it supports scalable protection across multiple process lines.

FAQs
Installing the SPC100240H7P in a 240V delta system involves confirming the 240V delta (4W+G) configuration, mounting the unit on the exterior side of the panel, and wiring the line and load connections as shown in the datasheet. Integrate the Form C relay with your alarm or PLC input, and verify UL 1449 compliance prior to energizing the circuit.
The 100 kAIC rating indicates the maximum fault current the surge protector can interrupt without damage. In practical terms, SPC100240H7P is designed to clamp high-energy transients common in heavy machinery, motors, and drives, protecting downstream components such as PLCs and drives from damaging overvoltages. Always match the protection level to your system's worst-case fault current in accordance with manufacturer guidelines.
Yes, the SPC100240H7P is housed in a NEMA 4X enclosure, providing resistance to moisture, dust, and washdown conditions. This makes it appropriate for outdoor panels, wet rooms, or dusty manufacturing floors where reliable surge protection is required. Always ensure installation clearances and mounting orientation follow the datasheet guidance for optimal longevity.
The SPC100240H7P comes with a 10-year warranty, reducing lifecycle risk and maintenance costs by limiting replacement expenses and downtime due to surge-related failures. When combined with reliable protection for drives and controllers, it extends equipment life, preserves uptime, and lowers total cost of ownership, supporting a compelling ROI for capital protection programs.
The SPC100240H7P is designed for external side mounting and 240V delta systems as part of the SPC series. Check that your panel provides space for a 5.5 in length, 6 in height, and 3.19 in width device and that the Form C relay wiring is compatible with your control logic. Confirm UPC/catalog data and UL 1449 listing for compliance.
