SPC
The SPC160240S3P combines a 160 kAIC interrupt rating with a compact external side mounting design, enabling higher transient protection without compromising space in crowded panels. This translates to reduced risk of damage to downstream equipment and quicker repair cycles, especially in manufacturing lines that demand continuous uptime. With a NEMA 4X enclosure, it resists dust, moisture, and corrosion, allowing reliable outdoor or harsh-environment installation without extra weatherproofing costs. The audible alarm provides immediate fault notification to operators and maintenance teams, shortening mean time to detection and response. A 10-year warranty reinforces total cost of ownership (TCO) reductions by limiting long-term replacement expenditures and ensuring consistent protection across multiple panel installations. Compatibility with the SPC series enables easy retrofit into existing Eaton ecosystems, improving installation efficiency and standardization across facilities. This device supports compliance with industry guidelines for electrical surge protection while delivering measurable improvements in equipment reliability and energy-management outcomes.
