SPC
160 kAIC interrupt rating delivers robust surge handling, reducing the risk of downstream equipment damage and unplanned downtime in high-energy events common in manufacturing lines. The business impact is improved equipment uptime and lower maintenance costs, with straightforward integration into 240/400V Wye systems and existing panel layouts. The 240/400V Wye configuration aligns with typical industrial power distributions, enabling reliable protection for motor drives, PLCs, and control panels in warehouses and production floors. Filtering under UL1283 5th Edition minimizes EMI/RFI, improving signal integrity for sensitive automation I/O and communication buses, which translates to fewer nuisance trips and more stable process control. The NEMA 4X enclosure provides corrosion resistance and washdown compatibility, expanding installation options to outdoor or harsh environments without compromising performance. External side mounting reduces service time during replacement or upgrades, supports modular retrofits, and lowers labor costs. The 10-year warranty reinforces long-term ownership and aligns with procurement cycles that prioritize total cost of ownership and risk mitigation.
