FAQs
What mounting and wiring practices minimize downtime during retrofit? Use external side mounting to reduce enclosure opening, route conductors with proper clearances, and confirm 120/208V Wye phase configuration. Verify UL 1449 compliance and secure wiring with appropriate torque values. This approach shortens installation time while preserving safety margins and performance.
The device provides a 160 kAIC interrupt rating, operates at 120/208V Wye, and is designed as a surge protection device with filtering and a Form C relay. Its 7.5 in length, 8.5 in height, and 3.19 in width pair with a 4 lb weight to fit compact panels, ensuring reliable transient suppression without excessive footprint.
Yes. The NEMA 4X enclosure rating indicates resistance to dust, water ingress, and corrosion, making it appropriate for outdoor installations, damp locations, and industrial environments where protection from the elements is critical.
Plan for periodic visual inspections and fault signaling reviews via the Form C relay. With a 10-year warranty, prioritize monitoring for surge events and replace after repeated transients or on warranty service intervals. Maintain UL 1449 compliance records to ensure ongoing regulatory readiness and performance reliability.
ROI comes from reduced equipment damage, lower downtime, and extended service life for protected loads. By suppressing transients at the 160 kAIC rating, you minimize cathode wear, prevent nuisance trips, and shorten maintenance cycles, delivering measurable cost savings over the device’s life in industrial or commercial power systems.
