SPC
The SPC160208Y5P carries a 160 kAIC surge rating, meaning it can safely divert large transient currents without compromising downstream equipment, reducing the likelihood of drive and PLC damage and shortening repair times after surges. This directly translates to improved production uptime and lower maintenance costs for automation and control systems across manufacturing lines. Its 120/208V Wye compatibility supports a broad range of facilities, enabling straightforward retrofits or new installs without rewiring, while external side mounting simplifies installation in crowded panels and limited spaces. The NEMA 4X enclosure protects the device against dust, moisture, and washdown environments, ensuring long-term reliability in demanding plants. The audible alarm coupled with a Form C relay provides immediate alarm signaling and remote fault reporting, supporting proactive maintenance strategies. A 10-year warranty reinforces investment protection, and the unit’s compact dimensions—7.5 in length, 5.5 in height, 3.19 in width, 4 lb—help minimize space and weight impact on panels.
