Feature → Business Impact → Application: 160 kAIC interrupt rating with 120/240 V split-phase operation ensures maximum transient energy is diverted away from sensitive equipment, reducing the risk of downstream failures and unplanned downtime. In practical terms, this supports critical plant equipment, motor drives, and control panels, enhancing reliability in industrial automation environments. Feature → Filtering, UL1283 5th Edition compliance reduces EMI/RFI on power lines, improving PLC/SCADA communication integrity and sensor data accuracy, which translates into fewer nuisance faults and smoother machine operation in manufacturing lines. Feature → NEMA 4X enclosure and external side mounting enable safe, durable installation in harsh environments, including wash-down areas and outdoor panels, simplifying compliance with safety standards while protecting the device from dust, water, and corrosion. Feature → 10 year warranty and Eaton’s support ecosystem lower total cost of ownership, making procurement more predictable and maintenance planning more straightforward for reliability-centered maintenance programs. Feature → Compact dimensions (7.5 in depth, 8.5 in height, 3.19 in width) and a 4 lb weight provide easy integration in crowded electrical spaces and quick retrofits in existing panels, minimizing installation time and disturbance to operations.
