Eaton SPC120208Y7P Surge Protection Device - UL 1449
Part Number: SPC120208Y7P
Quick Summary
SPC120208Y7P surge protection device protects sensitive industrial equipment from transient voltage surges in 120/208V power networks. Downtime due to surges costs productivity and maintenance budgets, so reliable protection that fits into existing architectures is crucial. UL 1449-listed protection and a rugged NEMA 4X enclosure ensure performance in harsh environments, while external side mounting supports fast retrofits. For engineers and procurement teams, this SPD pairs filtering and a Form C relay for status signaling and EMI suppression, delivering measurable reliability gains. The 120 kAIC interrupt rating and compatibility with common commercial/industrial power systems make it a practical choice for panels, switchgear, and machine controls.

FAQs
Begin by selecting a mounting location with adequate clearance for wiring and access. Connect input lines to the 120/208V supply, route the protected load wires to the device outputs, and secure the unit to the panel or enclosure wall. Verify grounding and perform a functional check with a surge source to confirm proper operation and signaling.
The SPC120208Y7P provides a 120 kAIC interrupt rating and supports a 120/208V Wye configuration. This combination determines how much surge energy the device can safely absorb and ensures protection for critical loads such as drives, PLCs, and controllers connected to 120/208V networks, helping maintain uptime during transient events.
Yes. The unit is housed in a rugged NEMA 4X enclosure, which offers weatherproof and corrosion-resistant protection suitable for outdoor panels, damp locations, and industrial settings. This enables reliable operation in environments where exposure to dust, moisture, or cleaning agents could compromise protection in lesser enclosures.
SPC120208Y7P is UL 1449 listed, validating its surge protection performance and safety. The NEMA 4X enclosure further supports environmental protection. While CE or IP ratings aren’t listed in the provided data, the UL listing combined with the rugged enclosure helps meet many standard regulatory and safety requirements for industrial applications.
Maintenance is typically limited to periodic visual inspections and ensuring secure mounting and grounding. The 10-year warranty reduces lifecycle risk and replacement costs, while reliable surge protection lowers downtime and maintenance intervals for downstream equipment. Together, these factors support a favorable total cost of ownership for automation projects and mission-critical loads.
