Feature: 160 kAIC interrupt rating provides robust transient handling for high-energy events. Business Impact: absorbing large surges without tripping or device damage reduces downstream equipment failures and repair costs. Application: ideal for manufacturing lines, conveyors, and drive systems where motors and VFDs face frequent power disturbances. Feature: 240V delta (4W+G) voltage rating ensures precise protection on delta networks. Business Impact: enhances clamping performance for high-leg configurations, improving reliability and uptime. Application: suitable for high-leg delta installations in food processing, packaging, and automated assembly lines. Feature: NEMA 4X enclosure with external side mounting delivers weatherproof, corrosion-resistant protection. Business Impact: minimizes maintenance cycles and extends service life in harsh or outdoor environments. Application: outdoor switchgear, wash-down zones, and exposed electrical rooms. Feature: Filtering, alarm, and Form C relay enable proactive monitoring and control integration. Business Impact: reduces electrical noise, supports remote fault notification, and enables automated protection actions. Application: SCADA and BMS connections across plant floors. Feature: UL 1449 certification and 10-year warranty provide regulatory assurance and lifecycle predictability. Business Impact: lowers procurement risk and total cost of ownership for long-term protection programs. Application: compliance-driven projects in process industries and manufacturing where durable protection is essential.
