Feature: High surge current rating of 120 kAIC ensures rapid clamping of transients before they reach sensitive equipment. Business Impact: This reduces the likelihood of insulation damage, controller resets, and unplanned downtime, delivering measurable reliability improvements. Application: Use on motor drives, PLCs, and power distribution panels in manufacturing lines where surge events are frequent. Feature: 347/600V Wye voltage rating supports typical industrial three-phase systems. Business Impact: Enables direct integration with common plant equipment, lowering engineering time and risk of mis-specification. Application: Panelboards, motor control centers, and process lines requiring robust three-phase transient protection. Feature: NEMA 4X enclosure provides rugged, moisture- and dust-resistant protection. Business Impact: Suitable for outdoor and wash-down areas, reducing enclosure-related failures and service calls. Application: Outdoor electrical rooms, coastal facilities, and automotive environments. Feature: Form C relay for built-in signaling. Business Impact: Facilitates remote status monitoring and integration with PLCs or BMS, cutting wiring and installation costs. Application: Centralized protection monitoring in control panels and switchgear assemblies. Feature: External side mounting and 10-year warranty. Business Impact: Simplifies retrofits and new installations with straightforward mounting and long-term life-cycle cost reductions. Application: Retrofit projects and new builds in manufacturing, water treatment, and packaging lines.

FAQs
Install the SPC120600Y4P on the external side of the protected circuit in a suitable enclosure, connect line and load terminals according to the wiring diagram, and verify proper grounding. Ensure the device is mounted in a location protected from excessive moisture and physical damage. Use the Form C relay output wiring for status signaling to PLC or BMS where applicable.
The 120 kAIC rating indicates the maximum instantaneous surge current the device can interrupt without compromising performance. This translates to effective clamping of high-energy transients, reducing erosion of downstream components, extending equipment life, and minimizing downtime during surge events typical in industrial environments.
Yes. The device uses a NEMA 4X enclosure designed to resist dust, water, and wash-down conditions, making it suitable for outdoor installations, automotive facilities, and other harsh environments where reliable surge protection is essential.
The SPC120600Y4P carries UL 1449 certification, ensuring adherence to recognized surge protection standards. This helps facilities meet regulatory and safety requirements, facilitates acceptance by electrical inspectors, and supports safe operation within industrial control panels and power distribution networks.
By preventing transient damage to drives, controllers, and sensors, the SPC120600Y4P minimizes unplanned downtime and repair costs. Its long 10-year warranty and robust enclosure reduce lifecycle costs, while easy installation and remote signaling via the Form C relay streamline preventive maintenance and monitoring programs.
