Feature: 120 kAIC interrupt rating. This high-energy capability ensures the surge current is absorbed without compromising SPD integrity, helping prevent downstream damage to sensitive equipment and reducing replacement costs. Application: Protect motor drives, transformers, and control panels in manufacturing facilities where high-energy transients are common. The business impact is improved uptime and reduced maintenance, supporting lean operations in industrial automation. Feature: 240V voltage rating. Compatibility with standard industrial power distribution enables rapid deployment across 240V single-phase circuits, minimizing integration time. Application: Data centers, packaging lines, and machine rooms that rely on reliable 240V supply. Result: lower engineering effort and a smoother commissioning process, with fewer field rewiring concerns. Feature: NEMA 4X enclosure. Rugged protection against dust, water, and corrosion, suitable for harsh or outdoor environments. Application: Outdoor equipment cabinets and harsh factory floors. Benefit: extended service life and reduced risk of enclosure ingress claims. Feature: External side mounting. Facilitates straightforward installation without extensive panel modification. Application: Retrofit projects and new builds where space and access are constrained. Benefit: faster upgrades and lower installation labor costs. Feature: Standard configuration. Predictable installation parameters and documented wiring practices reduce commissioning risk. Application: OEMs and integrators seeking repeatable protection across multiple panels. Benefit: consistent performance and easier maintenance planning. Feature: 10 year warranty. Long-term ownership cost is minimized through a durable design and manufacturer-backed support. Application: Critical infrastructure where downtime costs are high. Benefit: lower total cost of ownership and dependable protection over the system life.

FAQs

External side mounting lets you install the SPC120240N1P without modifying the main panel interior. Ensure adequate clearance for heat dissipation, follow torque specs for connections, and route wiring to minimize interference. Verify compatibility with your enclosure and power distribution configuration, and consult the 10-year warranty documentation for long-term reliability guidelines.
The 120 kAIC rating indicates the maximum surge current the device can safely interrupt without degradation. For 240V single-phase systems, this provides robust protection against high-energy transients, reducing the risk of equipment damage and extending component life in demanding industrial environments.
Yes, the SPC120240N1P is UL 1449 listed, confirming compliance with surge protection standards. It uses a rugged NEMA 4X enclosure, suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications with protection against dust, water, and corrosion in harsh environments.
Applications include 240V single-phase motor drives, control panels, industrial automation racks, CNC machines, and data-center peripheral systems. The SPC series provides reliable transient protection, minimizing downtime and avoiding costly repairs in environments with frequent electrical disturbances.
With a 10-year warranty and reduced downtime from surge protection, the SPC120240N1P offers favorable total cost of ownership. Plan regular inspections aligned with concurrent electrical maintenance, replace only when indicated by service life or manufacturer guidance, and track surge events to quantify uptime improvements and cost savings.
