The SPC100480N4P delivers 100 kAIC surge capability at 488 V, providing robust protection for sensitive controls and drive electronics, which translates to fewer nuisance trips and longer asset life in busy industrial lines. This feature supports the business objective of reducing downtime costs while maintaining uptime across manufacturing, packaging, and processing environments. The NEMA 4X enclosure and external side mounting enable reliable protection in washdown zones and retrofit projects, simplifying installation and minimizing panel modification costs. With Form C relay signaling, maintenance teams receive immediate fault indication and seamless integration with PLCs or building management systems, enabling proactive maintenance and faster mean time to respond. The 10-year warranty and UL 1449 certification reinforce compliance and unit longevity, driving total cost of ownership reductions and predictable budgeting for capital projects. The SPC series design also suits single-phase power setups, making it a practical upgrade for existing panels seeking enhanced transient protection without extensive reconfiguration. Compatibility with Eaton’s accessory ecosystem further streamlines procurement, stocking, and field service planning, supporting a leaner, more resilient electrical strategy in facilities ranging from food processing to energy-intensive manufacturing.
