The SPC100240N2P provides a high-energy defense with a 100 kAIC interrupt rating and a 240V operating range, reducing the likelihood of nuisance trips and equipment wear across automation lines. This translates to lower maintenance costs and improved uptime in panels, motor control centers, and machine enclosures commonly found in manufacturing environments. The rugged NEMA 4X enclosure offers robust protection in outdoor, dusty, or washdown conditions, enabling reliable installation in exposed locations and reducing the need for extra housings or enclosures. With UL 1449 listing and UL1283 5th Edition compliance, the device supports code-approved installations and investor confidence, helping facilities meet regulatory requirements without compromising speed of deployment. Integrated EMI/RFI filtering minimizes noise on sensors and control loops, enhancing the performance of PLCs and drive systems during transient events. External side mounting simplifies retrofits and new installations alike, reducing wiring depth and footprint in existing panels. A 10-year warranty further lowers total cost of ownership by ensuring long-term protection and predictable maintenance planning for critical automation assets.

FAQs
Install the SPC100240N2P using its external side mounting method to minimize wiring depth. It is designed for 240V, single-phase systems and suits Eaton SPC family panels, motor control centers, and distribution enclosures. Ensure proper clearance for the 5.5 in depth and 6 in height, and follow local electrical codes during retrofits or new installations.
This surge protection device provides a 100 kAIC interrupt rating and includes UL1283 5th Edition-compliant filtering to minimize EMI/RFI. The combination reduces transient energy delivered to protected loads while keeping noise from affecting sensitive sensors and PLC inputs, enhancing overall system reliability in harsh industrial environments.
Yes. The unit uses a rugged NEMA 4X enclosure that resists dust, water, and wash-down exposure, making it appropriate for outdoor panels, outdoor substations, and environments with frequent humidity or cleaning processes. This protects surge protection components without requiring additional protective housings.
SPC100240N2P is UL 1449 listed and UL1283 5th Edition compliant, which support electrical safety and EMI/RFI filtering standards. These certifications help ensure regulatory compliance for industrial installations and provide assurance to procurement teams and engineers evaluating risk and uptime in critical automation systems.
The SPC100240N2P carries a 10-year warranty, which lowers total cost of ownership by reducing replacement and maintenance expenses. By protecting critical drives, PLCs, and sensors from transient events, it also mitigates downtime costs and extends equipment life, improving overall return on investment in manufacturing and process control environments.
