FAQs
Install the SPC160240H7P on the line side of the panel in a suitable enclosure with external side mounting. Connect the four conductors required for a 4W+G delta system per Eaton's datasheet, ensuring proper grounding and compliance with local electrical codes. Mounting should follow recommended torque specs and keep clearances for heat dissipation. This configuration supports straightforward integration with SPC-series protection schemes and downstream signaling via the Form C relay.
The SPC160240H7P provides a 160 kAIC interrupt rating and 160 kA surge capacity, enabling robust protection for critical loads against transient events. It is rated for 240V delta systems (4W+G) and includes filtration to minimize noise. These specifications translate to fewer nuisance trips and extended lifespan for connected equipment in demanding environments.
Yes. The device uses a NEMA 4X enclosure, which is designed for washdown and harsh environments, offering resistance to water, corrosion, and dust ingress. This makes it well-suited for manufacturing floors, food & beverage processing, and other facilities where exposure to moisture or cleaning agents is common, while preserving protection performance.
The SPC160240H7P is UL 1449 listed, ensuring conformance to recognized surge protection safety standards. Its NEMA 4X enclosure rating further supports environmental protection compliance in challenging environments. While CE or SIL certifications are not stated for this model, UL 1449 together with the rugged enclosure provides strong regulatory alignment for industrial installations.
The device offers a 10-year warranty and reduced maintenance due to its durable design and long-term protection. By mitigating transient damage, it lowers replacement costs, minimizes unplanned downtime, and extends the life of motors, drives, and control electronics in automated lines. The Form C relay aids monitoring and fault signaling, supporting easier diagnostics and faster response times.
