FAQs
SPC150480N3P is designed for external side mounting, simplifying retrofit and space-constrained installs. Ensure panel cutout and mounting space match the device width of 3.19 in and height 6 in, with clearance for the audible alarm. Use proper hardware and follow NEC grounding guidelines for safe, reliable operation. Consider existing panel clearance, wiring conduit access, and serviceability during maintenance.
SPC150480N3P is a single-phase SPD rated for 488 V with an 150 kAIC interrupt rating, 7.5 in depth and 6 in height encased in a NEMA 4X enclosure. In a 480 V system, this device limits transient voltages to a safe level, diverting surge energy to ground and protecting downstream equipment.
Yes, SPC150480N3P is designed for challenging environments with a NEMA 4X enclosure, providing corrosion resistance and weather sealing for indoor and outdoor installations. The external side mounting supports versatile integration in electrical rooms or exterior panels, while the audible alarm offers immediate fault indication, facilitating fast maintenance response. This can reduce troubleshooting time and downtime in rugged industrial settings.
SPC150480N3P carries UL 1449 compliance for surge protection performance and is built to NEMA 4X enclosure standards, supporting reliable operation in challenging environments. While CE marking is not listed here, the UL 1449 listing helps qualify equipment in many North American industrial installations, reducing risk during audits and speeding commissioning.
Deploying the SPC150480N3P can lower unplanned downtime and extend motor and drive life by limiting transients, with a 10-year warranty supporting total cost of ownership. Regular checks on the audible alarm and simple external side mounting make inspections quick, reducing field labor costs while maintaining power quality across line assemblies.
