SPC
160 kAIC interrupt rating equips the SPC160240D7P to absorb high-energy transients without nuisance trips. This translates to fewer unplanned outages and reduced repair costs for drives, PLCs, and motor starters. It is ideal for 240V delta systems in manufacturing lines and process controls.\n\nFiltering and Form C relay provide clean power and flexible signaling. The filtering reduces electrical noise and protects sensitive electronics, while the Form C relay supports monitoring and interlock logic. This combination is valuable in control panels, PLC inputs, and protective relay circuits across manufacturing and data centers.\n\nNEMA 4X enclosure ensures protection against moisture, dust, and corrosion in challenging environments. This extends outdoor and damp-area deployments, reducing enclosure-related failures in harsh settings.\n\nExternal side mounting streamlines retrofit and reduces installation time by aligning with existing panel footprints. This supports shorter project schedules and lowers labor costs in legacy equipment upgrades and new builds.\n\nWarranty and certifications: a 10-year warranty and UL 1449 listing demonstrate vendor confidence and regulatory compliance for mission-critical applications.\n\nCompact dimensions (7.5 in L, 8.5 in H, 3.19 in W) and 4 lb weight facilitate installation in crowded panels and retrofit projects, reducing field labor and enabling quick placement adjacent to critical loads.

FAQs
Install the SPC160240D7P on the exterior side of the panel where wiring access is convenient. Connect line and load conductors per the Eaton installation sheet, secure the device to the panel using standard mounting hardware, and ensure proper clearance for heat dissipation. Verify UL 1449 listing compliance and test the Form C relay signaling in your protection scheme after mounting.
The device provides a 160 kAIC interrupt rating and a NEMA 4X enclosure, offering robust protection against high-energy transients and exposure to moisture, dust, and corrosive elements. This makes it suitable for outdoor cabinets, damp locations, and harsh industrial settings while maintaining reliable operation.
Yes. Designed for 240V Delta systems, the SPC160240D7P combines filtering with Form C signaling to support motor drives, PLCs, and protection relays. Its external mounting and compact form factor ease retrofit in existing control panels without extensive rework.
The SPC160240D7P is UL 1449 listed, providing essential transient overvoltage protection certification. It features a rugged NEMA 4X enclosure for harsh environments, and Eaton backs it with a 10-year warranty, delivering regulatory confidence for mission-critical applications.
Beyond initial procurement, expect reduced downtime and lower maintenance costs due to higher transient resilience and dependable signaling with the Form C relay. The 10-year warranty adds long-term support, while the compact footprint and external mounting simplify installation and retrofits, lowering field labor exposure over the device lifecycle.
