FAQs
For installation, mount the device on the panel’s exterior side to simplify wiring and future upgrades. Verify adequate clearance for heat dissipation, follow the wiring diagram in the Eaton spec sheet, and connect line and load conductors per 120/240 V split-phase configuration. Ensure UL 1449 compliance checks are completed during commissioning.
The 150 kAIC rating indicates the device can interrupt and clamp high-energy surge events without sustaining damage, protecting downstream components such as switches, relays, and drives. In practice, this translates to lower replacement costs, fewer unplanned outages, and improved equipment longevity during transient events common in industrial environments.
Yes. The unit is designed for 120/240 V split-phase systems and features a NEMA 4X enclosure, making it suitable for outdoor and challenging indoor environments. External side mounting also supports versatile installation in retrofit projects and space-constrained panels without compromising performance.
The SPC150240S1P is UL 1449 listed, ensuring compliance with surge protection safety standards. It uses a rugged NEMA 4X enclosure, providing protection against dust, water, and corrosion in demanding environments. These attributes support regulatory audits and maintenance planning for industrial facilities.
The 10-year warranty reduces long-term replacement risk, and the 150 kAIC rating minimizes costly surge damage to critical assets. Coupled with easy external side mounting and reliable UL/NEMA-rated protection, the device lowers maintenance intervals, reduces outages, and improves asset uptime across panels, drives, and intelligent controllers.
