Eaton SPC160208Y3P Surge Protection Device - UL 1449 Listed

With a 160 kAIC interrupt rating, the SPC160208Y3P delivers robust transient protection for feeders, panelboards, and motor control centers in demanding manufacturing environments. This capability translates into measurable uptime gains by reducing surge-induced component failures, protecting sensitive drives and controllers, and shortening repair cycles after transient events. The device is particularly valuable in automotive assembly lines, packaging lines, and process facilities where power disturbances can halt production and compromise quality. The rugged NEMA 4X enclosure provides weather, dust, and corrosion resistance, enabling reliable installation in outdoor switchgear, damp indoor spaces, and other harsh environments. External side mounting simplifies retrofits and new installations alike, eliminating the need for complex panel alterations and minimizing downtime during upgrade projects. The design also supports straightforward wiring and quick field testing, helping technicians validate protection performance without compromising safety or compliance. Designed for 120/208V Wye systems, the SPC160208Y3P aligns with common commercial and light-industrial power distributions, reducing the need for transformers or adapters. Its compact footprint—7.5 in long, 5.5 in high, and 3.19 in wide—and a 4 lb weight make it easy to fit within crowded panels or lightweight enclosures. A 10-year warranty and UL 1449 listing provide assurance for long-term reliability and regulatory compliance, while the audible alarm delivers immediate fault signaling to maintenance teams for faster response. Taken together, these features enable lower total cost of ownership, improved uptime, and safer operations across facilities that require robust transient protection, quick installation, and predictable performance in adverse environments.
