FAQs
Installation requires external side mounting and adequate clearance for the 7.5 inch depth and 8.5 inch height. Ensure alignment with 240V Delta circuits and provide space for local alarm wiring and the Form C relay. Use proper enclosure access for maintenance, and follow manufacturer torque specs for field connections to ensure reliability.
Key specs include 160 kAIC interrupt rating, 240V Delta voltage rating, NEMA 4X enclosure protection, and UL 1449 certification. The device supports filtration and includes an alarm plus Form C relay to signal fault conditions. This makes it suitable for panel protection in demanding industrial environments.
Yes. The SPC160240D8P is housed in a NEMA 4X enclosure designed for wet and dusty environments, including wash-down areas. This enclosure, combined with UL 1449 listed protection, enables reliable surge protection in outdoor panels and exposed industrial settings.
The integrated alarm and Form C relay provide real-time fault signaling to control systems and building management platforms. This enables proactive maintenance, faster MTTR, and clearer fault traceability, which lowers downtime and improves operational visibility across critical loads.
Benefits include reduced equipment damage from transients, fewer unplanned outages, and longer asset life. The 10-year warranty further reduces lifecycle risk. For facilities with frequent surges or sensitive drives, the total cost of ownership improves through lower maintenance costs and improved production uptime.
