160 kAIC interrupt rating delivers robust protection against high-energy transients, preventing downstream equipment from over-voltage events and reducing the risk of nuisance trips. This capability is critical for lines with frequent switching or hammer events. Thus it supports uptime goals for manufacturing, data centers, and process industries. The compact size keeps space in crowded panels, making retrofits easier. The 240V Delta rating aligns with standard industrial feeders, streamlining installation without custom wiring harnesses. External side mounting simplifies retrofit projects by allowing surface-mounted or recessed installation with minimal panel modification. That approach reduces commissioning time and improves serviceability in high-mix production environments. The NEMA 4X enclosure provides moisture, dust, and corrosion resistance, enabling reliable operation in washdown areas and outdoor installations. Engineers benefit from rugged protection that minimizes enclosure-related downtime. Compatibility with external side mounting supports flexible retrofits in legacy systems. External side mounting reduces wiring density and simplifies alignment with existing busbars, facilitating quicker onboarding. This orientation supports clear wiring channels and straightforward field wiring, speeding up commissioning. The 10-year warranty paired with UL 1449 certification supports procurement confidence and lowers long-term maintenance risk. It also complements preventative maintenance programs by delivering predictable protection across facilities. The compact footprint—7.5 in deep, 8.5 in tall, 3.19 in wide—plus a 4 lb weight enables flexible mounting in constrained panels. These features support safer, quicker retrofits and easier serviceability.
