FAQs
SPC160240H3P is designed for 240V delta systems and standard industrial control panels. Its external side mounting allows straightforward retrofits, and the rugged NEMA 4X enclosure supports indoor and outdoor installations. This makes it an ideal fit for motor control centers, switchboards, and panelboards in harsh manufacturing environments.
The 160 kAIC interrupt rating indicates the device can safely interrupt high-energy surge currents without sustaining damage that could propagate to downstream equipment. This reduces the likelihood of cascading failures, lowers replacement costs, and improves overall protection for critical loads in industrial power distribution.
Yes. The unit uses a NEMA 4X enclosure designed to withstand dust, water, and corrosion, enabling reliable operation in outdoor spaces and washdown zones. When paired with UL 1449 protection, it maintains performance despite challenging environmental conditions.
The SPC160240H3P is UL 1449 certified, confirming compliance with recognized surge protection safety standards. Its NEMA 4X enclosure further supports protection in harsh environments. The audible alarm provides immediate fault notification, aligning with maintenance and safety best practices in industrial settings.
Adopting the SPC160240H3P can lower maintenance costs by reducing transient-related equipment damage and downtime. The 10-year warranty adds long-term reliability, while the audible alarm speeds fault diagnosis. In practice, this translates to fewer unscheduled outages, extended panel life, and a faster path to return on investment in reliability-focused facilities.
