160 kAIC interrupt rating ensures robust surge handling for high-energy events, minimizing downstream damage to breakers, PLCs, and motors. This reduces downtime and maintenance costs in demanding applications such as motor control centers and HVAC drives. The SPC160480D4P is tailored for 480V Delta systems, making it a natural fit for industrial controls, processing lines, and plant facilities. UL 1449 listing validates performance under real-world pulses, while the 160 kAIC capability provides reliable protection against lightning and switching surges. This combination supports compliance with industry protection standards and safeguards downstream equipment. Durable NEMA 4X enclosure shields internal circuitry from dust, moisture, and wash-down environments, enabling both indoor and outdoor installations. This resilience translates to longer service life and lower replacement intervals in challenging environments. Form C relay output facilitates remote fault signaling to PLCs or SCADA, enabling rapid isolation and safer maintenance. Integration with existing control architectures is straightforward, reducing commissioning time and runtime disruptions. External side mounting simplifies installation in crowded panels or retrofit projects, while the compact footprint and modest weight support space-constrained panels and easy field wiring. With a 7.5 in length, 3.19 in width, and 8.5 in height profile and a 4 lb weight, the SPC160480D4P fits common electrical layouts without sacrificing protection quality.
