100 kAIC interrupt rating provides robust surge suppression for high-energy transients. This capability limits voltage spikes to protect drives, relays, and panelboards, reducing the risk of insulation damage and unplanned downtime in manufacturing lines. Use this SPC series device on main feeds to protect critical equipment in motor control centers (MCCs) and switchgear across 277/480V distribution schemes. 277/480V Wye voltage rating ensures compatibility with typical industrial power systems in facilities like steel, plastics, and process manufacturing. The surge protector clamps transient energy at the source, improving life expectancy of sensitive electronics and PLCs. Ideal for installation in new builds and retrofits where 277/480V Wye is standard. NEMA 4X enclosure and external side mounting offer installation flexibility and environmental resilience. The enclosure withstands moisture, corrosion, and washdown environments, while external mounting simplifies integration with existing enclosures, panels, or busways, reducing wiring time and risk of field errors. Compact footprint and weight of 2.5 lb with dimensions 5.5 in L x 6 in H x 3.19 in W allow installation in limited panel spaces. The standard configuration minimizes custom wiring and spare parts, lowering upfront installation costs and enabling quicker deployment. Reliability and support are reinforced by a 10-year warranty and UL 1449 certification, providing confidence and reducing lifecycle maintenance costs for demanding industrial environments. The SPC series is designed for continued operation in harsh settings, delivering long-term ROI by extending equipment life and sustaining uptime.
