SPC
The SPC120208Y8P provides 120 kAIC surge protection, delivering a high-energy clamp that protects sensitive devices from brief transient events. Business impact includes reduced downtime and extended life for drives, PLCs, and motor starters by absorbing dangerous spikes before they reach critical components. Application areas include control panels and switchgear in manufacturing environments where reliability and uptime are non-negotiable. The device supports 120/208V Wye systems, easing integration with existing power distribution without the need for multiple protection strategies. This translates to fewer part counts, faster deployments, and lower total cost of ownership. A rugged NEMA 4X enclosure ensures outdoor and wash-down readiness, while external side mounting simplifies retrofits in crowded cabinets. Filtering, an integrated alarm, and a Form C relay enable proactive diagnostics and PLC-friendly signaling. These features contribute to faster MTTR, better maintenance planning, and improved energy management across facilities.
