FAQs
SPC120415Y1P is designed for 240/400V Wye 3-phase systems and supports external-side mounting in standard control panels, motor control centers, and automation enclosures. Its 120 kAIC interrupt rating provides robust protection for harsh industrial environments while maintaining compatibility with common panel architectures and wiring practices.
This Eaton device carries UL 1449 certification for surge protection performance and reliability, and it uses a rugged NEMA 4X enclosure suitable for damp, washdown, or outdoor conditions. It also features a 120 kAIC interrupt rating and a 240/400V Wye configuration to meet typical industrial specifications.
Install on the external side of a suitable enclosure using standard mounting provisions. Ensure panel door clearance and wiring routes accommodate the 7.5 inch L, 8.5 inch H, and 3.19 inch W footprint. Verify conductor sizing and torque specs per Eaton installation guidelines and maintain clearances for heat dissipation and maintainability.
A 120 kAIC interrupt rating indicates the device can reliably interrupt high-energy surges before they propagate to downstream equipment. This reduces fuse and breaker wear, minimizes downtime, and extends the life of drives, motors, and control electronics, delivering measurable uptime improvements over the product’s lifecycle.
Yes. The NEMA 4X enclosure provides enclosure integrity in wet, dusty, or humid environments, making it appropriate for outdoor installations, damp plant areas, and washdown zones. This rating helps maintain protection without requiring additional environmental housings, simplifying installation and maintenance schedules.
