SPC
The SPC160208Y6P delivers a 160 kAIC interrupt rating for 120/208V Wye systems, delivering high-energy surge handling. That translates to fewer unexpected trips, reduced downtime, and lower repair costs. It's well-suited for industrial control panels, machine centers, and data centers that require reliable surge mitigation. Filtering reduces nuisance spikes and helps stabilize sensitive loads, while the built-in alarm provides immediate fault visibility. This combination improves reliability and enables faster fault diagnosis, supporting maintenance planning and asset protection in critical lines. The rugged NEMA 4X enclosure withstands washdown and harsh environments, and external side mounting simplifies retrofit and installation time. These design choices mean easier compliance with safety standards and faster project timelines on both new builds and retrofits. Compatibility with the SPC series also offers predictable lifecycle costs and simplified spare-part management, backed by a 10-year warranty. Engineers gain confidence to deploy across facilities with proven protection for downstream equipment and cleaner power quality.
