Feature: The SPC150240N7P provides a robust 150 kAIC interrupt rating, designed to absorb high-energy surges before they reach sensitive loads in real-world applications. Business Impact: By clamping energy at entry, it reduces thermal stress on drives, PLCs, and sensors, extending component life and dramatically cutting downtime and replacement costs. Application: This makes it ideal for 240V single‑phase systems in industrial control panels, OEM equipment, machine tools, and automated production lines. Feature: The combination of filtering and a Form C relay delivers clean power signals and reliable fault signaling that operators can trust. Business Impact: Filtering minimizes electrical noise on control inputs, while the relay provides fast, unambiguous status feedback that speeds troubleshooting. Application: This setup is particularly beneficial for systems with critical I/O lines and alarms that cannot tolerate transient disturbances. Feature: The rugged NEMA 4X enclosure ensures reliable operation in wet, dusty, wash-down, or corrosive environments typical of many industrial sites. Business Impact: It enables outdoor or harsh-site installations without additional enclosures, reducing installation costs. Application: Ideal for outdoor control panels, production floors near splash zones, and areas with stringent environmental constraints. Feature: External side mounting simplifies integration into crowded or retrofitted control cabinets by providing straightforward terminal access and cable routing. Business Impact: This reduces wiring complexity, speeds installation, and frees cabinet space for other protective devices. Application: Particularly valuable for OEMs updating legacy lines or designing compact, modular protection schemes for new equipment. Feature: UL 1449 listing with a 10‑year warranty underpins long-term reliability, safety compliance, and strong vendor support. Business Impact: This combination lowers total cost of ownership by reducing field failures, recall risk, and maintenance frequency. Application: Suitable for critical systems across manufacturing, packaging, and process industries where uptime matters most.

FAQs
Install SPC150240N7P by mounting it on the exterior side of the panel as shown in the wiring diagram, ensuring adequate clearance for heat and access. Connect line and load conductors per the 240V single‑phase configuration, use proper torque on terminals, and follow lockout/tagout procedures. After wiring, verify the Form C relay status and energize to confirm protection is active.
The device protects 240V single‑phase circuits with a 150 kAIC interrupt rating, UL 1449 listed, and a NEMA 4X enclosure. It features integrated filtering and a Form C relay for fault signaling. Dimensions are 5.5 in length, 6 in height, and 3.19 in width, with a 2.5 lb weight. The warranty is 10 years.
Yes. The NEMA 4X enclosure provides weather and corrosion resistance, enabling safe outdoor or damp indoor installations without additional protective enclosures. It is designed for harsh manufacturing floors, loading docks, and wash-down areas where exposure to moisture and dust is common. Ensure proper mounting and ventilation per the datasheet.
The SPC150240N7P is UL 1449 listed, indicating compliance with surge protection safety requirements. The rugged enclosure and electrical design support environmental compliance, while the 10‑year warranty provides long-term reliability and vendor support. These factors help meet industry standards for electrical protection in factory automation and panel assemblies.
By reducing surge damage to drives, sensors, and PLCs, the SPC150240N7P lowers repair and replacement costs and minimizes unexpected downtime. The 10‑year warranty and UL compliance reduce risk and service interruptions, while its compact external mounting streamlines retrofits. Over the equipment lifecycle, you should see lower maintenance frequency and improved plant productivity.
