FAQs
The SPC160240D4P is intended for external side mounting in standard industrial enclosures. It fits within a 7.5 in length by 8.5 in height by 3.19 in depth footprint and weighs about 4 lb, facilitating retrofit in existing panels. Plan for NEMA 4X sealing and UL 1449 compliance, with accessible Form C relay wiring for maintenance.
Yes, the unit features a Form C relay for signaling. Wire the relay contacts to monitor surge events or drive external indicators or alarms. Follow the Eaton wiring diagrams, maintain proper clearance, and ensure secure connections to prevent contact resistance or signaling failures during fault events.
Industries with 240V delta networks, such as fabricating and metalworking, machine tool cabinets, and process automation lines, benefit most. The 160 kAIC rating provides robust surge tolerance for controllers and drives, reducing nuisance trips and downtime while preserving power quality across centralized control systems in harsh manufacturing environments.
The SPC160240D4P is UL 1449 listed, confirming surge protection performance to safety standards. It uses a NEMA 4X enclosure suitable for wet, dirty, or outdoor locations and supports external side mounting for easy installation in industrial panels. These features help ensure regulatory alignment and reliable operation in challenging environments.
With a 10-year warranty and robust surge protection, the SPC160240D4P minimizes unplanned downtime by clamping transients before they reach sensitive controls. Fewer component replacements and reduced maintenance visits translate into lower lifecycle costs, improved uptime, and better asset protection for automation equipment in manufacturing facilities.
