FAQs
Begin by de-energizing the panel and verifying system voltage. Mount the device using the external side mounting method, ensuring proper clearance for the 5.5 inch depth. Connect line and load per the catalog sheet, then verify wiring continuity. After re-energizing, use the built-in alarm to confirm protection is active and monitor for fault indications to minimize disruption.
The 150 kAIC rating indicates the maximum current the device can safely interrupt during a surge event. In industrial settings with large motor loads and fast transients, this rating helps prevent damage to downstream equipment and reduces the likelihood of cascade failures in drives and control cabinets.
Yes. The SPC150240N6P features a NEMA 4X enclosure designed for external side mounting, enabling reliable operation in outdoor or washdown environments while protecting internal electronics from dust, water, and corrosion ingress.
The device includes filtering to mitigate high-frequency transients and an alarm output to indicate fault conditions. Use the alarm signal for integration with plant supervision or SCADA systems, enabling proactive maintenance and rapid response to surge events that could affect uptime.
UL 1449 listing confirms safety compliance for surge protection devices, and a 10-year warranty supports long-term ownership cost reduction. These factors, together with EMI filtering and high surge tolerance, help ensure regulatory alignment and predictable maintenance budgets.
