SPC
The SPC100480D5P provides a 100 kAIC interrupt rating, delivering robust transient protection for critical loads and minimizing equipment damage during surge events. This translates to measurable uptime improvements and lower repair costs, particularly for motor drives and switchgear operating at 480V delta. The 480V Delta rating aligns with common industrial power systems, enabling straightforward integration into existing distribution schemes without reengineering the bus architecture. The NEMA 4X enclosure ensures weatherproof and corrosion-resistant performance, making this SPD suitable for outdoor or washdown environments commonly found in manufacturing, food & beverage, and process industries. Alarm and Form C relay support real-time fault notification and remote signaling, reducing MTTR and enabling proactive maintenance workflows. External side mounting simplifies retrofit or upgrade projects by minimizing on-site coordination and panel modification, accelerating installation timelines and reducing downtime during protection upgrades. The product also benefits from a 10-year warranty and UL 1449 certification, reinforcing long-term reliability and compliance with design practices for power protection and safety.

FAQs
For 480V Delta networks, install the SPC100480D5P using the external side mounting method as specified. Ensure adequate clearance for heat dissipation, access to the alarm/Form C relay connections, and contingency space for wiring terminations. The unit’s dimensions (5.5 in depth, 6 in height, 3.19 in width) should be accounted for within the panel or enclosure footprint. Compliance with UL 1449 and the rugged NEMA 4X enclosure supports reliability in harsh environments.
Yes. The SPC100480D5P comes in a NEMA 4X enclosure, designed for outdoor and washdown environments typical of industrial facilities. This enclosure provides weather resistance and corrosion protection, allowing installation in loading docks, manufacturing floors, and outdoor panels without compromising surge protection performance or safety.
The 100 kAIC interrupt rating indicates the device can safely interrupt high-energy surge events without compromising downstream equipment. This capability reduces the risk of cascading damage to drives, controllers, and breakers, improving overall system reliability and extending the life of downstream protection schemes in demanding applications.
The alarm and Form C relay enable real-time fault signaling to PLCs, DMS, or BMS systems. This supports proactive maintenance by flagging surge events as they occur, facilitating rapid MTTR, improved downtime planning, and better integration with condition-based maintenance programs for power protection assets.
Key compliance factors include UL 1449 certification, which confirms surge protection performance, and the NEMA 4X enclosure rating, ensuring suitability for harsh or wet environments. These certifications help satisfy regulatory and safety requirements for industrial power protection in manufacturing, data centers, and process industries.
