Eaton SPC150480D8P Surge Protection Device - UL 1449
Part Number: SPC150480D8P
Quick Summary
Eaton SPC150480D8P surge protection device protects industrial power systems by mitigating transients in 480V Delta networks. In factory environments with frequent switching, voltage sags and surge events drive costly downtime and accelerate insulation wear. This SPC series unit is UL 1449 listed and housed in a rugged NEMA 4X enclosure, ensuring weather resistance and long service life in harsh installations. It features filtering, an integral alarm, and a Form C relay to provide clear fault signaling and automation-ready responses. With external side mounting and a compact footprint, it integrates easily into panels, motor control centers, or MCC housings, delivering reliable protection without sacrificing space.

SPC
The 150 kAIC interrupt rating delivers robust surge handling, protecting primary power components from damaging transients and reducing replacement costs and downtime. In motor control centers and panelboards, large surges can propagate to drives and transformers, so this rating is an essential safeguard. The 480V Delta compatibility ensures seamless operation within common industrial networks, minimizing the need for voltage-agnostic add-ons and simplifying panel design. A rugged NEMA 4X enclosure protects the unit in harsh environments, supporting indoor and outdoor installations and reducing maintenance frequency. Integrated filtering minimizes high-frequency transients, lowering EMI on PLCs, drives, and sensors while improving signal integrity. The built-in alarm and Form C relay enable rapid fault signaling and automation-ready responses, enhancing preventive maintenance programs and operator awareness. External side mounting offers installation flexibility, enabling retrofits and space-efficient layouts in existing cabinets. A 10-year warranty further underpins long-term reliability and total cost of ownership for mission-critical automation.

FAQs
SPC150480D8P is mounted on the external side of panels, so ensure adequate clearance for wiring and venting. Plan for proper bus connections to minimize inductive kick, route supply and load cables separately, and maintain a dedicated surge protection device path to reduce EMI coupling. Verify enclosure integrity after installation to preserve NEMA 4X protection in harsh environments.
Key electrical specs include a 150 kAIC interrupt rating, 480V Delta voltage rating, UL 1449 certification, and a NEMA 4X enclosure. The device also offers integrated filtration and an alarm with a Form C relay, enabling rapid fault signaling and automated responses in control systems. Suitable for 480V delta feeders, MCCs, and panelboards.
Yes. The SPC150480D8P is designed for 480V delta systems common in manufacturing and processing facilities, providing robust transient protection for drives, controllers, and sensors. Its external mounting and compact footprint simplify retrofits in existing panels, while filtering and alarms support proactive maintenance and safer operation. This setup helps reduce downtime and extend equipment life.
SPC150480D8P carries UL 1449 listing and a NEMA 4X enclosure rating, reflecting compliance for demanding industrial environments. While not every region requires CE marking, the rugged design and filtering meet common sector standards, and the Form C relay supports integration with plant control logic for alarms and annunciation. This combination supports audits and reliable operation.
Implementing SPC150480D8P can reduce maintenance costs and downtime. By absorbing transient energy, it protects drives and control gear, lowers repair frequency, and simplifies compliance reporting thanks to UL 1449 listing. The 10-year warranty adds long-term value, while remote alarm signaling minimizes investigation time during disturbances. This translates to measurable ROI through reduced outage costs and extended asset life.
