Eaton SPC150480N2P Surge Protection Device - UL 1449
Part Number: SPC150480N2P
Quick Summary
The Eaton SPC150480N2P surge protection device protects electrical systems in industrial control panels by clamping transient voltages before they reach sensitive equipment. That prevents unplanned downtime and costly repairs caused by lightning, switching surges, or motor startup spikes. It carries UL 1449 certification, UL1283 5th Edition, and comes in a rugged NEMA 4X enclosure, making it suitable for damp, washdown, and outdoor environments. With its external side mounting and compact footprint, it installs quickly into existing panels or enclosures, reducing field labor and retrofit time. Designed for reliability in single‑phase automation networks, the SPC series offers a 10‑year warranty and is compatible with a range of control systems, PLCs, and drives.

High-energy surge rating with 150 kAIC interrupt capacity and a 488 V rating provides immediate protection for powered automation assets. The business impact is clear: downstream equipment such as drives, PLCs, and sensors experience fewer overvoltage events, which translates to higher uptime and lower repair costs in production lines. This is especially critical in high‑reliability applications like packaging, conveying, and machine tending where even brief outages disrupt throughput. Rugged, weatherproof NEMA 4X enclosure ensures installation in damp, dusty, or washdown environments without sacrificing performance. The external side mounting option supports easy integration into existing panels or outdoor housings, speeding retrofits and reducing commissioning time. In practice, this means fewer enclosure trades and a safer, neater installation that meets industry codes. UL 1449 certification and UL1283 5th Edition compliance provide regulatory assurance and documented performance. The included filtering suppresses EMI/RFI, improving control network communication and reducing noise on sensor signals. This is valuable in modern factories employing Ethernet/IP, PROFINET, or Modbus networks where clean power translates to reliable data. Compact dimensions—5.5 in length, 6 in height, and 3.19 in width—along with 2.5 lb weight make the SPC150480N2P easy to handle and install in tight panels. External side mounting reduces wiring complexity and enables faster upgrades in legacy equipment. These attributes help maintenance teams shrink project timelines and minimize downtime during upgrades. With a 10-year warranty, the SPC series safeguards operating budgets by reducing long-term maintenance costs. Combined with its rugged construction and proven surge handling, this device supports total cost of ownership by extending service intervals for critical automation assets and protecting capital investments in automated lines.

FAQs
The SPC150480N2P uses a rugged NEMA 4X enclosure that tolerates damp, dusty, and washdown environments. Plan for external side mounting to ease retrofit into existing panels, ensure adequate clearance for heat dissipation, and verify 488 V system compatibility with your control panels to maintain safe, compliant installation.
It offers a 150 kAIC interrupt rating, handling high-energy transients and diverting them away from downstream devices. This reduces stress on drives, PLCs, and sensors, minimizing downtime and unexpected replacements in automated lines where reliability is critical.
Yes. The device is rated for 488 V single-phase systems and is suited for integration into common industrial control panels. When planning installation, confirm enclosure space and mounting access to ensure the external side mount can be accommodated without compromising serviceability.
The SPC150480N2P carries UL 1449 certification and UL1283 5th Edition, with a NEMA 4X enclosure. These standards verify performance, safety, and environmental suitability for industrial settings, streamline regulatory approvals, support EMI/RFI expectations, and help ensure long-term warranty compliance in maintenance programs.
The SPC150480N2P includes a 10-year warranty, reducing long-term maintenance risk. When evaluating ownership costs, consider installation efficiency from external side mounting, potential downtime reductions from reliable surge protection, and extended asset life of drives and controllers, which collectively lower total cost of ownership in automated facilities.
