FAQs
SPC120240S8P is designed for 120/240 V split-phase systems and uses external side mounting, making retrofit compatibility straightforward with most standard electrical panels and control enclosures rather than requiring major rewiring.
Key specs include a 120 kAIC interrupt rating, 120/240 V operation, and integrated filtering to suppress transients, with UL 1449 safety certification ensuring compliance for surge protection devices in industrial settings.
Ideal for panel boards, motor drives, PLC-controlled lines, and data-center power distribution where reliable transient protection, remote monitoring via alarm, and Form C relay outputs minimize downtime and maintenance costs.
The Form C relay provides a dedicated alarm signal for remote monitoring and fault notification, enabling faster response, proactive maintenance, and improved MTTR metrics in manufacturing and IT environments.
Yes. With a NEMA 4X enclosure and UL 1449 certification, it is designed for durable, outdoor or washdown-ready installations in demanding industrial settings.
