FAQs
The SPC160415Y3P uses external side mounting and is designed for 240/400V Wye systems, making retrofit installs straightforward. Verify panel space, confirm busbar clearance, and mount the unit on the external side for minimal disruption. Use the included mounting hardware and follow UL guidelines to maintain NEMA 4X integrity.
This surge protector provides a 160 kAIC interrupt rating, meaning it can safely interrupt high-energy surge events without compromising connected equipment. By clamping transient voltages, it shields sensitive devices like PLCs, drives, and control circuits, reducing insulation stress and extending asset life during storms and switching transients.
Yes. The 240/400V Wye configuration, UL 1449 listing, and NEMA 4X enclosure make it suitable for data centers and harsh manufacturing environments. Its audible alarm supports immediate fault detection, and the compact footprint simplifies integration in crowded electrical rooms, aligning with uptime and reliability goals.
The SPC160415Y3P is UL 1449 listed and housed in a NEMA 4X enclosure. These specifications ensure compliance with industry safety standards and provide protection against dust and water ingress in challenging environments, supporting regulatory audits and long-term operation.
With a 10-year warranty and proactive audible signaling, the SPC160415Y3P reduces maintenance cycles and supports asset management strategies. The robust protection minimizes unplanned outages, contributing to lower total cost of ownership and improved uptime for critical processes.
