SPC
The SPC100480N5P is a high‑capacity surge protection device, delivering 100 kAIC interrupt rating to withstand severe transients and protect downstream equipment. In practice, this reduces unplanned downtime and extends the life of motors, drives, and PLCs in machine centers and production lines. The 488 V voltage rating aligns with common industrial power architectures, enabling reliable protection without undesired tripping during normal operation. Its NEMA 4X enclosure ensures dependable performance in wet, dusty, and outdoor environments, simplifying installation in outdoor switchgear or protected exterior enclosures and improving safety for technicians. The built‑in Alarm and Form C relay provide real‑time fault signaling to plant monitoring systems, supporting proactive maintenance and quick fault isolation. Mounting on the external side keeps valuable interior space free for other protection devices, while the compact 5.5 in length, 6 in height, and 3.19 in width footprint and 2.5 lb weight facilitate panel integration and retrofits. The SPC series is backed by a 10‑year warranty and UL 1449 certification, reinforcing total cost of ownership advantages and compliance across industrial control panels and electrical rooms. This combination of protection, signaling, and rugged construction is ideal for panel boards, MCCs, and outdoor equipment in manufacturing and process industries seeking reliable surge protection with minimal maintenance.

FAQs
SPC100480N5P installs on the external side of a panel, simplifying retrofits and reducing interior clearances. With its compact 5.5 in length, 6 in height, and 3.19 in width, it fits in tight spaces typical of control panels and MCCs. Ensure adequate clearance for mounting hardware and service access, and verify the 488 V single‑phase supply aligns with the panel nomenclature and utility service.
The device is specifically rated for 488 V applications and provides 100 kAIC surge interruption capacity, which is essential for protecting downstream loads such as drives, motors, and PLCs from transient events in single‑phase systems. The UL 1449 certification confirms compliance with industry surge protection standards, while the external mounting supports versatile integration in existing installations.
The SPC100480N5P includes an Alarm and Form C relay, enabling remote fault signaling to a building management or PLC system. This enables faster fault detection, proactive maintenance scheduling, and minimal surprise outages. In practice, you can trigger alarms or automated shutdowns when surge events occur, improving overall uptime and safety in manufacturing environments.
Yes. The unit features a NEMA 4X enclosure, designed to resist water, dust, and corrosive environments. This makes it appropriate for outdoor installations, damp industrial spaces, or exposed electrical rooms. The rugged enclosure helps meet workplace safety standards while keeping protection devices accessible for service and testing.
With a 10-year warranty and UL 1449 certification, the SPC100480N5P offers long-term protection with reduced replacement frequency and lower maintenance costs. Its robust surge handling (100 kAIC) minimizes downtime, protecting critical loads like motors and drives. The integrated monitoring relay further reduces maintenance overhead by enabling timely interventions based on real-time fault signaling.
