Eaton SPC160240D5P Surge Protection Device - UL 1449

High surge current handling (160 kAIC) delivers robust transient suppression, protecting breakers, relays, and sensitive PLC inputs from damaging spikes. That reduced electrical stress translates into fewer component failures and measurable uptime gains across manufacturing lines. In practice, this means longer service life for drives and controllers and less risk during peak demand events. The 240V Delta rating ensures direct compatibility with common industrial power networks without custom transformers. Engineers can retrofit existing panels quickly, minimizing wiring changes and project staging time. It also supports consistent performance across three-phase systems critical to precision machinery. A rugged NEMA 4X enclosure protects against dust, water, and corrosion, making the SPC160240D5P suitable for washdown and outdoor installations. This enclosure reduces maintenance frequency and helps sustain protection in harsh environments. Coupled with external side mounting, installation remains straightforward even in cramped control cabinets. Audible alarm and Form C relay provide clear local indication and remote signaling for condition monitoring. Integrating the device with plant SCADA or maintenance dashboards is straightforward, facilitating faster fault isolation. Remote notification enables proactive maintenance planning and reduces unplanned downtime. The 10 year warranty reinforces long-term value, while the compact form factor and dimensions simplify panel space planning. This combination of protection, reliability, and ease of integration supports lower total cost of ownership over the device life. Designed to complement other SPC family protections, the SPC160240D5P can be deployed as part of a layered defense strategy in critical machinery and robotics cells. It aligns with industry best practices for transient suppression, helping facilities meet internal reliability targets and external standards while simplifying spare-part planning.
