160 kAIC interrupt rating at 120 V single-phase provides high-energy surge protection, reducing insulation stress and extending equipment life in manufacturing lines. The business impact is fewer unplanned outages and lower maintenance costs, with straightforward application in control panels and motor drives. The NEMA 4X enclosure adds weather and corrosion resistance, enabling reliable operation in outdoor or challenging environments, which translates to lower replacement cycles and safer installations across facilities. Filtering minimizes EMI, while the built-in Alarm and Form C relay enables real-time fault signaling and PLC integration for proactive maintenance and condition-based monitoring. External side mounting simplifies retrofits, reduces installation time, and improves compatibility with existing enclosures and field wiring. A 10-year warranty and UL 1449 listing support compliance, procurement confidence, and total cost of ownership in long-run projects.
