A 150 kAIC interrupt rating provides robust surge suppression for demanding industrial loads. This translates to a lower risk of downstream device damage and fewer nuisance trips during fast transients. In practice, panel designers and machine builders can rely on protection that stops surges at the source, protecting relays, drives, and controllers. 240V Delta compatibility enables direct integration with common industrial power systems, reducing wiring complexity and eliminating unnecessary step-down. Applications include control panels, motor drives, and line-start equipment, delivering faster installation and fewer integration issues. The NEMA 4X enclosure delivers rugged environmental protection, allowing outdoor or damp indoor installations without enclosure modifications while supporting clean, safe configurations. Filtering with UL1283 5th Edition reduces EMI, improving controller communication and drive performance in crowded panels. The external side mounting design simplifies retrofits, minimizes cabinet intrusion, and accelerates commissioning in existing plants. A 10-year warranty and a compact form factor further enhance total cost of ownership by reducing maintenance and replacement cycles. Designed for industrial environments, this surge protector aligns with reliability-centered maintenance and energy-management programs, offering predictable performance with Eaton compatibility for seamless upgrades.

FAQs
The SPC150240D2P is designed for external side mounting, which simplifies retrofits by keeping wiring access outside the cabinet and reduces interior clearance requirements. Ensure a clean mounting surface, maintain proper clearance for heat dissipation, and verify that the panel has an accessible path for conductor routing to minimize installation time. Use appropriate strain relief and follow manufacturer torque specs to maintain UL/IEC compliance.
At 240V Delta, the SPC150240D2P can clamp transients typical of industrial power systems, with a 150 kAIC interrupt rating indicating capability to safely interrupt very large surge currents. This level of protection helps prevent downstream equipment damage to drives, PLCs, and relays, reducing repair costs and downtime during lightning events or switching transients commonly seen in manufacturing lines.
Yes. The NEMA 4X enclosure provides protection against dust, water, and corrosion, making it suitable for harsh environments and damp or outdoor installations when mounted externally. UL 1449 and UL1283 5th Edition compliance further ensure EMI filtering and surge protection performance remain reliable across varying operating conditions typically found in industrial facilities.
The SPC150240D2P carries UL 1449 certification and UL1283 5th Edition filtering. UL1449 confirms surge protection reliability and safety, while UL1283 5th Edition governs EMI/RFI filtering to minimize conducted interference in control networks. Together, these certifications support compliance with safety and electromagnetic compatibility standards in automated production environments.
ROI comes from reduced downtime, fewer unexpected device trips, and longer life for downstream equipment such as drives and controllers. With a 10-year warranty, rugged NEMA 4X protection, and external side mounting that speeds installation and retrofits, facilities can realize lower maintenance costs, decreased insurance risk, and greater system availability over the device’s lifecycle.
