Eaton SPC120600Y3P Surge Protection Device - NEMA 4X
Part Number: SPC120600Y3P
Quick Summary
Eaton SPC120600Y3P surge protection device protects critical industrial controls from transient surges. Surges can cause unplanned downtime, damaged drives, and costly outages in manufacturing and processing lines. UL 1449 listed protection paired with a rugged NEMA 4X enclosure helps ensure reliability in harsh environments, while a 120 kAIC interrupt rating provides robust defense against high-energy events. With a 347/600V Wye rating, the SPC120600Y3P fits common industrial power systems and offers external side mounting for simple installation. The device’s audible alarm enables rapid fault indication, reducing mean time to repair, and the 10-year warranty supports long-term total cost of ownership. This model balances protection, compliance, and operational efficiency.

SPC
The SPC120600Y3P delivers high-energy surge defense with a 120 kAIC interrupt rating, meaning it can safely withstand large transient events and minimize downstream equipment damage. This translates to measurable uptime gains and lower downtime costs for motors, drives, PLCs, and other critical load devices in demanding production lines. With a 347/600V Wye configuration, it aligns with common industrial power architectures, while UL 1449 listing confirms compliance with surge suppression standards, helping you meet regulatory expectations in mid- to high-voltage installations. The rugged NEMA 4X enclosure protects against dust, moisture, and wash-downs, enabling reliable operation in both indoor panels and harsher environments. External side mounting simplifies retrofits, reduces installation time, and lowers mounting costs. Audible alarm provides immediate fault notification, speeding repairs and improving operator awareness. The SPC series delivers a cohesive protection strategy with a 10-year warranty, supporting long-term reliability and predictable lifecycle costs. In practice, engineers leverage these features to coordinate protection with other SPD devices and to justify capex through reduced downtime and maintenance burden.

FAQs
SPC120600Y3P supports external side mounting, which makes retrofits straightforward and minimizes space requirements. For installation, mount per enclosure guidelines, connect line and load conductors to the appropriate terminals, and verify proper clearances. Use UL 1449 compliant wiring practices and ensure the device is within its 347/600V Wye rating. After installation, test the audible alarm function to confirm fault notification works as intended.
120 kAIC indicates the device can withstand current impulses up to 120 kiloamps for a brief period without failing, which translates to strong protection for high-energy surges from utility faults or switching transients. In practical terms, this reduces the likelihood of downstream equipment damage, minimizes downtime, and extends the life of drives, controllers, and motors connected to the protected circuit.
Yes. The SPC120600Y3P uses a NEMA 4X enclosure, designed to resist dust, moisture, and wash-downs. This makes it suitable for panels near production floors or semi-exposed locations. While not an IP-rated device, the NEMA 4X rating provides robust protection that supports reliable operation in challenging industrial environments.
The SPC120600Y3P is UL 1449 listed, confirming adherence to essential surge suppression criteria. It features a rugged NEMA 4X enclosure for environmental protection and carries a 10-year warranty for long-term reliability. This combination supports compliance with industry best practices and reduces risk in regulated industrial settings.
By delivering high-energy surge protection with visible fault indication via an audible alarm, SPC120600Y3P reduces MTTR and supports proactive maintenance planning. The 10-year warranty lowers lifecycle risk, while the external mounting and standardized form factor simplify stocking and replacements. Together, these factors translate to lower downtime, predictable maintenance costs, and a faster return on investment.
