Feature → 120 kAIC interrupt rating provides robust surge handling, absorbing peak energy that would otherwise reach sensitive equipment. Business impact → Reduces the risk of industrial downtime and component fatigue, improving line uptime and extending the life of drives and controllers. Application → Ideal for motor drives, control cabinets, and critical process panels where high surge exposure is expected. Feature → 480V Delta rating supports three‑phase power environments common in manufacturing and automation cells. Business impact → Protects a wide range of equipment from transients on main feeders, reducing repair costs and unnecessary maintenance. Application → Suitable for packaging lines, conveyors, and CNC equipment with 480V delta supplies. Feature → NEMA 4X enclosure delivers moisture, dust, and washdown resistance. Business impact → Enables installation in harsh environments and near production floors without enclosure compromise. Application → Outdoor panels and exposed installations in food & beverage, water treatment, and plant floors. Feature → Filtering and Form C relay provide both filtration benefits and signaling options. Business impact → Improves signal integration with PLCs and SCADA while reducing EMI; supports proactive maintenance. Application → Control systems requiring reliable fault indication and clean power delivery. Feature → External side mounting simplifies retrofits and new installations. Business impact → Reduces field wiring effort and downtime during mounting, speeding up commissioning. Application → Retrofit projects and new builds across industrial facilities. Warranty and certifications → A 10-year warranty paired with UL 1449 compliance gives long-term assurance and risk mitigation for compliance-driven programs.

FAQs
SPC120480D7P is designed for 480V delta systems and uses external side mounting, making it a straightforward retrofit for many control panels and motor drives. Check your panel’s voltage rating, available mounting space, and whether a surge protection device with filtering and a Form C relay aligns with your PLC signaling requirements. Confirm that the enclosure can accommodate the 7.5 inch depth and 8.5 inch height without impeding door operation or wiring access.
SPC120480D7P offers a 120 kAIC interrupt rating and UL 1449 listed protection, combined with integrated filtering and a Form C relay for status signaling. This combination minimizes surge energy transfer to critical loads, reduces EMI, and provides clear trip/normal signals to the control system, supporting proactive maintenance and faster fault isolation in manufacturing environments.
Yes. The device comes in a NEMA 4X enclosure designed to withstand moisture, dust, and washdown conditions typical of harsh industrial spaces. This makes it suitable for outdoor installations and areas near manufacturing lines where cleanliness and environmental exposure are concerns, while still delivering reliable surge protection.
SPC120480D7P carries UL 1449 certification, confirming compliance with recognized safety and performance standards for surge protection devices. This certification supports regulatory compliance for electrical installations in many industries and helps streamline approvals during audits and equipment upgrades.
With a 10-year warranty and UL 1449 listed protection, the SPC120480D7P delivers long-term reliability with minimal maintenance. By reducing surge-related downtime, equipment damage, and nuisance tripping, the device lowers maintenance costs and can shorten payback periods for capital investments in protection upgrades across machinery and control systems.
