FAQs
SPC120208Y6P is designed for external side mounting on panel enclosures. For installation, position the unit on the exterior side of the electrical panel, connect to the source and load per Eaton's wiring diagram, and secure with appropriate hardware. Ensure good conductor torque and adherence to local codes; consider clearance for heat dissipation and future service access.
It features a 120 kAIC interrupt rating, UL 1449 listing, and a 120/208V Wye rating, enabling effective clamping for common commercial systems. In practice, it attenuates voltage spikes from motors and switching transients, preserving downstream equipment and reducing trip events. The included filtering and alarm help isolate nuisance pulses and provide quick fault alerts for maintenance teams.
Yes, its external side mounting and 120/208V Wye rating align with most standard panelboards, switchgear, and data-center feeder configurations. When retrofitting, verify panel clearance and enclosure compatibility with NEMA 4X environments. The unit's compact footprint (7.5 in L x 3.19 in W x 8.5 in H) simplifies installation, while the 4 lb weight minimizes structural load considerations.
The SPC120208Y6P is UL 1449 listed for surge protection, underscored by its NEMA 4X enclosure that withstands rain, dust, and hose-down environments. These certifications support compliance with facility safety programs and installation standards in industrial settings. Always verify local code requirements, particularly for outdoor or washdown areas, to ensure continued conformity and optimal protection for downstream equipment.
Investing in SPC120208Y6P yields lower maintenance and downtime costs by mitigating transient damage to motors, drives, and control electronics. With a 10-year warranty, UL 1449 compliance, and a durable NEMA 4X enclosure, total cost of ownership is reduced. Routine checks are straightforward: inspect alarm signals, verify filtering function, and replace if connector wear is detected during scheduled maintenance.
