Eaton SPC160240S7P Surge Protection Device - UL 1449
Part Number: SPC160240S7P
Quick Summary
Eaton SPC160240S7P surge protection device is designed to shield electrical panels from transient overvoltages in commercial and industrial systems. Unprotected equipment can suffer downtime, failed components, and reduced life due to surge events. UL 1449 listing, a NEMA 4X enclosure, and a 160 kAIC interrupt rating provide robust protection in harsh environments. This SPD is built with filtering plus an onboard Form C relay, delivering reliable signaling for monitoring and control. By combining high-energy surge handling with rugged construction, it supports reliable operation in outdoor panels, motor drives, and critical control enclosures, while simplifying retrofit projects and reducing maintenance costs through longer equipment life and fewer faults.

FAQs
For proper installation, ensure external side mounting fits your panel layout, allow adequate clearance for heat dissipation, and confirm a 7.5 in depth with a 3.19 in width and 5 in height footprint. Use the supplied mounting hardware, follow standard panel wiring practices for 120/240 V split-phase systems, and verify UL 1449 labeling before commissioning. The unit’s 4 lb weight and robust NEMA 4X enclosure support reliable outdoor or harsh-environment mounting.
The SPC160240S7P delivers 160 kAIC interrupt rating for high-energy surges, combined with filtration to reduce spike energy reaching protected loads. UL 1449 listing confirms compliance with surge protection standards, while the Form C relay provides remote signaling for system coordination. In practice, this means fewer unplanned outages, longer life for drives and controllers, and easier diagnostics after a transient event.
Yes. The device is explicitly rated for 120/240 V split-phase operation, matching typical US commercial and industrial power distribution. Its external side mounting supports retrofit into existing panels, and the compact footprint helps minimize panel intrusion. This makes it a practical choice for machine control panels, outdoor gear, and facility services that rely on a reliable split-phase SPD.
The SPC160240S7P is UL 1449 listed, confirming adherence to surge protection safety standards, and is housed in a NEMA 4X enclosure for rugged environments. It carries a 10-year warranty, reflecting confidence in long-term performance and reducing lifecycle risk for facilities relying on continuous protection of critical loads.
The device reduces downtime by suppressing damaging transients before they reach sensitive electronics, extending the life of controllers and motors. Its robust enclosure, easy retrofit mounting, and signaling relay streamline installation and maintenance, delivering lower total cost of ownership and improved compliance for facilities with demanding reliability requirements.
