With a 150 kAIC interrupt rating, the SPC150480N4P delivers high-energy surge handling that protects power-sensitive equipment such as PLCs, VFDs, and servo drives from damaging transients. This reduces unplanned downtime and component replacements, lowering maintenance spend. It's well-suited for panel-level protection in manufacturing lines and remote equipment racks where surges are common. The 488 V voltage rating aligns with standard 480 V networks, enabling direct integration into new builds and retrofits, which speeds commissioning and minimizes additional wiring. The durable NEMA 4X enclosure provides weatherproof and corrosion-resistant protection, supporting both outdoor installations and harsh indoor environments, reducing enclosure-related maintenance and extending service life. External side mounting simplifies installation, while Form C relay offers signaling for remote monitoring and interlock control, cutting wiring complexity and enabling smarter diagnostics in compact control cabinets. As part of the SPC series, this surge protection device delivers consistent protection across platforms with UL 1449 compliance, easing procurement and regulatory alignment. A 10-year warranty further lowers life-cycle costs and enhances total cost of ownership for industrial facilities seeking reliable, low-maintenance surge protection.

FAQs
Install the SPC150480N4P using its external side mounting method in a compliant panel enclosure. Ensure adequate clearance for heat dissipation and easy access to the Form C relay terminals. Use shielded or properly routed conductors to minimize EMI and verify ground connections per local codes. This approach reduces commissioning time and improves serviceability.
The 150 kAIC interrupt rating enables the device to absorb high-energy transients without sustaining internal damage, protecting sensitive components like PLCs, drives, and sensors. In production lines with motors or heavy inductive loads, this capability lowers the risk of cascading faults and unplanned downtime, supporting longer equipment life and better uptime statistics.
Yes. The device features a NEMA 4X enclosure designed for outdoor and wash-down environments, providing dust and water resistance as well as corrosion protection. This makes it suitable for exterior panels, machine rooms with humidity, and rugged indoor spaces, reducing enclosure-related maintenance and expanding deployment options across facilities.
The SPC150480N4P is UL 1449-listed, establishing compliance with recognized safety standards for surge protection devices. It also utilizes a NEMA 4X rated enclosure for environmental protection. Together, these attributes support regulatory alignment, simplify supplier audits, and help ensure reliable performance in demanding industrial settings.
Deploying the SPC150480N4P yields a favorable ROI by reducing downtime, shielding critical drives and controllers, and extending component life. The 10-year warranty lowers lifecycle costs, while the Form C relay supports proactive monitoring and easier diagnostics. For procurement, a single, standards-compliant unit simplifies stocking and maintenance planning across multiple lines.
