160 kAIC interrupt rating provides strong surge endurance, reducing the likelihood of downstream equipment damage and nuisance tripping. This performance translates to fewer unplanned shutdowns and lower maintenance costs in demanding industrial power networks. Use it in 240/400V Wye systems serving CNCs, presses, and conveyors where fast surge dissipation is critical. 240/400V Wye voltage rating aligns with common industrial distributions, enabling plug-and-play compatibility with standard switchgear. The result is faster installation, fewer wiring mistakes, and a scalable path for upgrades across a site. Ideal for panel boards and motor control centers that require reliable transient protection without reconfiguring existing feeders. NEMA 4X enclosure delivers moisture and dust resistance, making it suitable for outdoor or washdown environments. That rugged construction reduces environmental risk and extends service life, lowering total cost of ownership. This is particularly valuable in food processing, chemical, and manufacturing facilities. Audible alarm and Form C relay provide immediate fault signaling and remote monitoring capability. The business impact is improved maintenance planning, quicker fault isolation, and easier integration with plant control systems. Engineers appreciate clear status indications during commissioning and routine tests. External side mounting simplifies retrofits and reduces installation time since the unit can be added to existing enclosures without major rewiring. The compact dimensions and 4 lb weight support flexible placement in crowded panels while maintaining accessibility for testing and replacement. This combination supports compliance and uptime goals across operations. Warranty of 10 years reflects Eaton's confidence in long-term reliability, reducing lifecycle risk and budgeting uncertainty. When paired with UL 1449 certification and documentation, the SPC160415Y5P helps manufacturers meet procurement and compliance requirements while delivering measurable return on investment through decreased downtime and maintenance.

FAQs
The SPC160415Y5P is designed for external side mounting on standard 240/400V Wye distributions. Connect the line and load conductors per the installation drawing, verify 160 kAIC protection against transient surges, and wire the Form C relay and audible alarm to your remote monitoring or control system. The unit’s 7.5 in depth, 8.5 in height, and 3.19 in width fit typical panel spans, simplifying retrofits and minimizing downtime.
Key specifications include a 240/400V Wye rating and a 160 kAIC interrupt capability, ensuring robust protection for high-energy transients. The device features an audible alarm and Form C relay for local and remote fault signaling, enabling proactive maintenance and clear isolation of affected circuits. UL 1449 certification verifies compliance with established surge protection standards.
Yes. The SPC160415Y5P uses a NEMA 4X enclosure designed to resist moisture, dust, and washdown effects, making it suitable for outdoor installations and challenging industrial environments. This enables protection of power distribution in manufacturing floors, chemical plants, and food processing lines without sacrificing reliability or safety.
The SPC160415Y5P is UL 1449 listed, providing essential safety and performance verification for surge protection devices. This certification supports regulatory compliance, helps with procurement audits, and reduces risk when integrating the SPD into critical power networks. The NEMA 4X enclosure further reinforces suitability for harsh or wet environments.
Eaton backs the SPC160415Y5P with a 10-year warranty, signaling long-term reliability and predictable maintenance planning. Combined with UL certification and rugged enclosure, the SPD lowers downtime, reduces unexpected repair costs, and improves total cost of ownership for industrial power distribution across facilities and OEM deployments.
