Eaton SPC120240H8P Surge Protection Device - UL 1449
Part Number: SPC120240H8P
Quick Summary
The Eaton SPC120240H8P surge protection device protects electrical systems from transient surges in industrial panels. Downtime, equipment damage, and nuisance tripping cost you time and money; a reliable SPD minimizes these risks. UL 1449 certification and a rugged NEMA 4X enclosure help ensure safe, durable operation in harsh environments, while the 10-year warranty reinforces total-cost-of-ownership. In addition, the SPC series integrates filtering and a Form C alarm relay, supporting remote monitoring and faster fault isolation, which helps maintenance teams optimize asset protection and compliance. For panel builders and service teams, this device simplifies spec alignment and regulatory readiness across 240V delta networks.

SPC
With a 120 kAIC interrupt rating, the SPC120240H8P delivers high-energy transient handling that rapidly dissipates surge energy away from sensitive loads. This reduces insulation stress, minimizes equipment damage, and lowers repair costs after surge events. In practice, it protects motor drives, contactors, and critical control relays in 240V delta feeders, enabling cleaner power delivery and safer plant operation. Configured for 240V delta (4W+G) systems, the SPC120240H8P aligns with common industrial power architectures, simplifying deployment in retrofit projects. By matching the delta grounding scheme, it reduces nuisance tripping and improves surge diversion efficiency across phases. This compatibility translates to faster commissioning and fewer panel rewires during upgrades. Enclosed in a NEMA 4X housing, the device withstands washdowns, dust, and outdoor exposure without compromising performance. The rugged enclosure supports safer installation in harsh environments, including damp or dusty plant floors and outdoor substations. This durability helps facilities meet safety standards and uptime targets without adding protective enclosures. Built-in filtering reduces high-frequency noise that can trigger nuisance trips and misoperation in control circuits. The integrated Alarm and Form C relay enables remote signaling, fault isolation, and condition-based maintenance, improving uptime and maintenance planning. Together with the UL 1449 certification, these features support regulatory compliance and operational confidence during audits. External side mounting simplifies installation in crowded panels by minimizing clearance needs, while its compact footprint (7.5 in L x 8.5 in H x 3.19 in W) fits standard enclosures. At roughly 4 lb, it is easy to handle during retrofit or new-install projects, and the 10-year warranty provides long-term total-cost-of-ownership value.

FAQs
The SPC120240H8P is designed for external side mounting and fits standard enclosures. With its 7.5 in length, 8.5 in height, and 3.19 in width, it can retrofit into compact switchgear and panel boards. Connection to 240V delta (4W+G) systems along with the Form C relay enables straightforward integration with existing alarming and supervisory circuits, simplifying commissioning and fault signaling.
Key specs include a 120 kAIC interrupt rating, voltage rating of 240V delta (4W+G), NEMA 4X enclosure, and UL 1449 certification. It is part of the SPC series, with dimensions 7.5 in L x 8.5 in H x 3.19 in W, weight around 4 lb, and it includes filtering plus an Alarm and Form C relay for remote signaling.
Yes. The device uses a rugged NEMA 4X enclosure designed to resist moisture, dust, and washdown conditions, making it suitable for outdoor substations and harsh industrial areas. Proper installation in the enclosure and adherence to local codes ensure reliable performance in demanding environments.
It includes built-in filtering to reduce high-frequency noise and an Alarm plus Form C relay for remote fault signaling. This enables easier maintenance planning, quicker fault isolation, and compatibility with common control and SCADA systems, contributing to improved uptime and proactive asset management.
By delivering high surge current handling, a rugged enclosure, and remote signaling, the SPC120240H8P minimizes costly downtime, extends equipment life, and reduces replacement frequency. The 10-year warranty and UL 1449 certification further lower lifecycle risk, making the device a fiscally prudent choice for protecting critical loads in 240V delta networks.
