FAQs
Install the SPC160277N1P using its external side mounting method in a compatible panel enclosure. Ensure connection to the 277 V single-phase circuit per Eaton's installation diagram, observe proper conductor sizing, and verify UL 1449 labeling after mounting. The compact footprint aids retrofit projects without extensive enclosure modification.
The 160 kAIC interrupt rating indicates the maximum surge current the device can safely interrupt without damage. This provides enhanced protection for sensitive drives, PLC power supplies, and other control electronics, reducing the likelihood of downstream component failures and unplanned downtime during surge events.
Yes. The unit comes with a NEMA 4X enclosure, making it appropriate for damp, dusty, and wash-down areas. This rugged construction supports reliable performance in outdoor panels and harsh industrial settings where exposure to moisture and contaminants is a concern.
The SPC160277N1P is UL 1449 listed, a key safety certification for surge protection devices. When combined with a NEMA 4X enclosure, this configuration supports electrical protection compliance in industrial facilities, OEM projects, and service panels, simplifying inspection readiness and warranty validation.
The unit carries a 10-year warranty, reflecting Eaton's confidence in long-term performance. This warranty, along with UL 1449 listing and robust enclosure, contributes to lower total cost of ownership by reducing maintenance frequency and replacement needs in service-intensive applications.
