FAQs
The SPC160240D6P uses an external side mounting method and a compact footprint (7.5 in × 8.5 in × 3.19 in, approx. 4 lb). It is UL 1449 listed and housed in a NEMA 4X enclosure, suitable for harsh environments. Ensure panel space for mounting, proper clearance for connectors, and integration with the engine room or cabinet wiring. The 10-year warranty supports long-term reliability.
It provides a 160 kAIC interrupt rating, specifically designed for high-energy transient events common in 240V Delta configurations. This capability minimizes voltage spike propagation, protects downstream equipment, and reduces the risk of nuisance tripping or equipment damage in manufacturing lines and critical control circuits.
Yes. The device is part of the SPC series, features external side mounting for flexible integration, and carries UL 1449 certification. Its 240V Delta rating aligns with typical SPC deployments in existing cabinets, enabling straightforward upgrades or retrofits without rewiring major sections of the panel.
The SPC160240D6P is UL 1449 listed and enclosed in a NEMA 4X housing, designed for durability in harsh environments. Its filtering and alarm features support condition monitoring, while the 10-year warranty provides assurance of long-term protection and aligns with industry compliance expectations for critical panel protection.
By mitigating surges and providing audible or visual alarm signals, this device reduces downtime, extends the life of sensitive components, and lowers maintenance costs. In environments with frequent transients or critical drives, the 160 kAIC protection, 240V Delta compatibility, and rugged NEMA 4X enclosure translate to measurable improvements in uptime and asset longevity.
