Feature → 100 kAIC interrupt rating is engineered to intercept high-energy surges at the source. Business Impact: This capability dramatically reduces the risk of transformer or drive damage during transient events, decreasing repair costs and unplanned downtime. Application: ideal for 480 V single‑phase feeders in manufacturing lines, pumping stations, or data centers where uninterrupted operation matters most. Feature → 488 V voltage rating ensures precise clamping for 480 V systems, minimizing overshoot and protecting connected equipment. Business Impact: tighter protection margins translate to longer component life and lower spare-part consumption. Application: suitable for panel boards, motor drives, and control cabinets in industrial facilities. Feature → NEMA 4X enclosure delivers rugged, weather-resistant protection suitable for harsh environments. Business Impact: enables outdoor or washdown installations without enclosure upgrades, reducing installation complexity and inventory needs, and is backed by a 10-year warranty for long-term asset protection. Application: plant floors near docks, open bays, or wet rooms where environmental exposure is a concern. Feature → Filtering and Alarm provide reduced noise, better signal integrity, and real-time alerts for fault conditions. Business Impact: improves maintenance efficiency, supports condition monitoring, and helps you meet compliance reporting. Application: electrical rooms and service panels where early warning of surge events supports proactive maintenance. Feature → External side mounting supports straightforward retrofit and flexible placement without rewiring. Business Impact: eases installation workflows, shortens project timelines, and minimizes downtime during upgrades. Application: compatibility with existing enclosures and panel layouts, enabling rapid deployment across multiple lines.

FAQs
Install the SPC100480N6P on the main or branch feeder as close to the point of use as practical. Use external side mounting to fit existing panels, ensure proper clearance for the NEMA 4X enclosure, and follow manufacturer wiring diagrams to connect line, load, and grounding conductors. Verify UL 1449 compliance during commissioning and test alarms for proper signaling.
The 100 kAIC interrupt rating specifies the maximum fault current the surge protector can safely interrupt without internal damage. This reduces the risk of cascading failures in high-energy transients, protecting downstream equipment such as drives, PLCs, and motors and lowering the chance of costly downtime.
Yes. The device uses a NEMA 4X enclosure, which provides robust protection against dust, rain, and washdown environments. This makes it suitable for outdoor installations or plant areas with aggressive conditions, while maintaining reliable surge protection for sensitive electrical equipment.
Filtering reduces electrical noise that can obscure fault signals, while the Alarm feature provides real-time notifications of surge events. Together they support proactive maintenance, reduce nuisance trips, and improve the visibility of power quality conditions for plant electricians and maintenance teams.
By delivering UL 1449 protection, a 100 kAIC rating, and a 10-year warranty in a rugged enclosure, the SPC100480N6P lowers lifecycle risk and maintenance spend. Fewer surge-related repairs, reduced downtime, and simplified panel upgrades contribute to more predictable maintenance budgets and faster project rollouts.
