Eaton SPC150480N8P Surge Protection Device - UL 1449

Feature → Business Impact → Application: The SPC150480N8P delivers high-current surge protection with a 150 kAIC interrupt rating, minimizing the risk of equipment damage during lightning or switching transients. This directly translates to extended equipment life, lower repair costs, and reduced downtime in critical production lines. Application in motor drives and programmable logic controllers (PLCs) benefits from the device’s robust transient handling and fast response times, preserving uptime in automotive, packaging, and process industries. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 488 V voltage rating provides targeted protection for medium-voltage control circuits and motor control centers, aligning with common industrial topologies and minimizing nuisance trips. This enables more consistent power quality across critical subassemblies in facilities such as food and beverage processing, pharmaceuticals, and material handling. Feature → Business Impact → Application: NEMA 4X enclosure offers superior protection against dust, moisture, and corrosion, supporting installation in washdown zones or outdoor panels. This reduces enclosure-related maintenance and enables installation flexibility in chemical plants and outdoor substations. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Filtering, along with an Alarm and Form C relay, delivers enhanced visibility into surge events and enables automatic shutdown or alerting workflows. This improves preventative maintenance cycles and aligns with SCADA/EMR integration in energy-intensive manufacturing. Feature → Business Impact → Application: External side mounting simplifies retrofit or replacement in existing enclosures, lowering labor costs and downtime during system upgrades. This is particularly valuable when upgrading legacy protection in aging facilities or expanding control rooms in data-driven manufacturing environments. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The SPC series benefits from UL 1449 certification and a 10-year warranty, providing risk reduction for procurement teams and long-term total cost of ownership advantages for plant designers in industries with strict compliance requirements. This supports budget justification for capital projects and long-term reliability in aerospace, plastics, and heavy machinery sectors.
