The SPC120480N5P is a robust single-phase surge protection device designed for 480 V distributions in industrial panels, delivering a 120 kAIC interrupt rating to clamp transient surges effectively. This translates to measurable business benefits like reduced motor drive damage and lower maintenance costs, making it ideal for protecting drives, PLCs, and control circuits in manufacturing and process environments. Its 488 V voltage rating aligns with common industrial power systems, ensuring compatibility without overdesign. The rugged NEMA 4X enclosure provides environmental protection for outdoor and damp locations, boosting installation flexibility across facilities. An audible alarm and Form C relay enable immediate status signaling to maintenance dashboards or SCADA, enabling proactive interventions and minimizing downtime. External side mounting simplifies retrofits and panel upgrades, saving time during installation and reducing field labor costs. A 10-year warranty reinforces total cost of ownership, lowering risk for procurement and long-term operation.
