The SPC100480Y8P features a high 100 kAIC interrupt rating, delivering fast fault clearing to protect downstream equipment and reduce the risk of cascading failures in automated lines. This translates to lower maintenance costs and higher overall equipment uptime in data centers and manufacturing facilities. Its integrated filtering minimizes EMI and high-frequency noise, improving PLC and drive performance while reducing false trips during noisy power events. The Form C alarm relay provides a clear, configurable warning signal, enabling proactive maintenance and seamless integration with DCS or SCADA systems. A rugged NEMA 4X enclosure supports harsh environments, including wash-down areas and outdoor installations, which shortens installation time and broadens mounting options. Compatibility with external side mounting simplifies retrofits and panel upgrades, helping engineers meet quick-turn projects without compromising protection.
