Feature → Business Impact → Application: The SPC160240H4P offers a 160 kAIC interrupt rating, delivering high-energy surge handling that minimizes equipment damage and unplanned downtime in high-energy transient events common in industrial facilities. This translates to lower repair costs and greater line uptime for critical machinery such as variable frequency drives and sensors in manufacturing lines. Application-wise, its 240V delta (4W+G) configuration makes it ideal for high-leg delta systems found in industrial plants, enabling reliable protection across feeders and motors. The NEMA 4X enclosure ensures durability in damp, dusty, and harsh locations, reducing ingress risks while maintaining performance in outdoor or production-area installations. With external side mounting and a Form C relay, installation is straightforward, enabling quick wiring and improved fault signaling for maintenance teams. A 10-year warranty adds long-term value, while UL 1449 certification confirms compliance with safety benchmarks. This device also aligns with SPC-series accessories, ensuring compatibility across protection strategies and simplifying fleet-wide upgrades.

FAQs
Install the SPC160240H4P using external side mounting to a suitable protection panel or enclosure. Connect line conductors to the appropriate terminals for a 240V delta (4W+G) configuration, wire the Form C relay for monitoring or signaling, and verify UL 1449 compliance. Ensure proper grounding and follow manufacturer torque specs to maintain the 160 kAIC protection level and NEMA 4X enclosure integrity.
The SPC160240H4P is designed as part of Eaton’s SPC surge protection lineup, sharing common enclosure, mounting, and electrical interfaces. External side mounting, a Form C relay option, and a 240V delta (4W+G) rating align with SPC-series protection strategies, simplifying spec consolidation, stock management, and cross-model upgrades across industrial protection schemes.
This device delivers surge protection up to 160 kAIC, guarding sensitive drives, PLCs, and sensors from transient spikes. UL 1449 listing assures safety compliance, while the NEMA 4X enclosure protects against dust and moisture. By suppressing surges close to the source, it reduces nuisance trips and extends the life of critical automation assets.
Yes. With a NEMA 4X enclosure and external side mounting, the SPC160240H4P is well-suited for harsh factory floors, damp or dusty rooms, and outdoor installations adjacent to equipment. Its robust construction, UL 1449 certification, and 160 kAIC rating provide reliable protection where industrial equipment faces frequent transient events.
The unit carries a 10-year warranty, reflecting Eaton’s confidence in long-term reliability. Maintenance typically centers on periodic inspections and terminal torque verification rather than component replacements, given the device’s solid-state surge protection design and rugged enclosure. This reduces total cost of ownership by minimizing unplanned downtime and parts spending.
