FAQs
It is designed for 480V delta systems and external side mounting, making it straightforward to retrofit into existing panels. The SPC100480D4P supports standard wiring practices for surge protection devices and fits in common enclosure footprints while maintaining clear access to the Form C relay terminals. For new installations, plan protection on the line side of the panel and consider downstream coordination with other protection devices.
Its 100 kAIC interrupt rating and UL 1449 certification establish robust transient protection for demanding loads. The device is rated for 480V delta and includes a Form C relay for signaling, enabling easy integration with PLCs and control logic. This combination minimizes nuisance tripping and protects essential equipment like drives and PLCs from damaging surges.
Yes. The NEMA 4X enclosure provides corrosion and washdown resistance, making it suitable for outdoor panels, industrial facilities, and marine environments where exposure to dust, water, or chemicals is possible. For best results, mount externally on the side of the enclosure and ensure proper strain relief and wiring routing to maintain protection integrity.
It carries UL 1449 certification for surge suppression safety and is designed for use in environments protected by a 100 kAIC rating. The rugged NEMA 4X enclosure adds environmental protection, while Form C relay provides signaling compatibility with control systems. Always verify local electrical codes and panel ratings before installation.
By reducing transient-induced failures, the SPC100480D4P lowers repair costs and minimizes downtime in production lines. The 10-year warranty offered by Eaton boosts total cost of ownership, while its straightforward installation enables faster retrofits and fewer spare-part needs. Over a typical automation lifecycle, these factors translate into meaningful uptime gains and capital efficiency.
