FAQs
Mount the SPC160120N7P using external side mounting per the Eaton SPC series guidelines. Ensure adequate clearance and compatible enclosure (NEMA 4X) for your environment. Connect line and load conductors per the wiring diagram, observe 120 V single-phase labeling, and verify the Form C relay wiring if signaling is required. The result is a straightforward retrofit with minimal panel modification.
The SPC160120N7P delivers 160 kAIC interrupt rating for high-energy transients, plus filtering and a Form C relay for signaling. It is UL 1449 certified and housed in a NEMA 4X enclosure, making it suitable for harsh environments. This combination protects downstream devices, reduces surge-related failures, and supports compliant panel protection strategies.
Yes. The device comes in a NEMA 4X enclosure designed for weather resistance and corrosion protection. The robust rating, along with UL 1449 certification, supports reliable operation in outdoor or challenging industrial settings while maintaining safe and effective surge protection for 120 V circuits.
The SPC160120N7P is UL 1449 certified, with a NEMA 4X enclosure and a 10-year warranty. These certifications support regulatory compliance for electrical protection devices and give you confidence in long-term reliability and suitability for demanding installations, including commercial and light-industrial panels.
Maintenance is minimal since the device is a passive surge protector with a long service life. ROI comes from reduced downtime, fewer transient-induced failures, and extended equipment life. The 10-year warranty further lowers long-term ownership costs, while the compact 5.5 in x 6 in x 3.19 in footprint simplifies installation and asset planning.
