High-energy protection with a 120 kAIC interrupt rating is engineered to absorb and divert surge events before they reach sensitive equipment. This translates to fewer component failures and lower maintenance costs, especially in environments with frequent switching and grid disturbances. Use it in 277/480V Wye panels in data centers, manufacturing lines, and large HVAC installations where spike events are common. Enclosure is rated NEMA 4X, providing IP-level protection against water and corrosion in indoor and outdoor installations. The rugged housing reduces enclosure-related failures and simplifies outdoor siting, saving enclosure alterations and weatherproofing time during commissioning. Integrated filtering minimizes high-frequency noise, while the alarm and Form C relay deliver real-time fault signaling and control options. This improves operator awareness and enables remote integration with building management systems or PLCs, reducing response time during faults. External side mounting supports straightforward retrofits and new installations without interior space constraints. Compatible with Eaton SPC family and similar surge protection devices, it can be integrated into existing panel boards with minimal rewiring and downtime. 10-year warranty helps justify the initial investment and lowers life-cycle costs, while UL 1449 listing confirms conformance to robust surge protection standards. Product dimensions (7.5 in L x 5 in H x 3.19 in W) and weight (4 lb) offer a compact footprint for crowded panels, with a 277/480V Wye rating and 120 kAIC rating delivering broad applicability.
