The 160 kAIC interrupt rating enables robust surge handling, reducing nuisance trips and downstream equipment damage. This translates into improved uptime and lower maintenance costs across automation panels and motor drives in manufacturing lines. The 480V Delta rating protects three-phase delta networks, ensuring coordinated protection where line-to-line surges are most likely to occur, and minimizes disruption to heavy equipment in process control environments. The rugged NEMA 4X enclosure delivers corrosion and washdown resistance, safeguarding electronics in outdoor or harsh facility conditions and extending service life in industrial yards or plant floors. Audible alarm and Form C relay provide immediate fault indication and remote monitoring capabilities, enabling faster fault diagnosis, safer shutdown procedures, and enhanced compliance reporting for critical systems. External side mounting simplifies retrofit projects and panel integration, reducing field wiring time and enabling straightforward upgrades to legacy protection schemes. A 10-year warranty reinforces total cost of ownership, offering long-term value and reduced replacement risk for mission-critical systems in heavy industries.

FAQs
The SPC160480D5P uses external side mounting, which simplifies retrofit work by allowing the unit to be installed adjacent to or within existing panels without reworking internal enclosures. This reduces wiring complexity and installation time while maintaining secure, code-compliant mounting in crowded electrical rooms.
Yes. The device is rated for 480V delta service and provides an interrupt rating of 160 kAIC, enabling robust surge clamping for high-energy applications. This combination supports reliable protection for motors, drives, and critical automation equipment in demanding industrial environments.
Yes. The SPC160480D5P features an audible alarm and a Form C relay, allowing local and remote status signaling. This enables quick fault detection, easier PLC or DCS integration for alerting, and faster response to surge events without invasive testing.
The unit is UL 1449 certified, housed in a NEMA 4X enclosure for degraded or wet environments, and carries a 10-year warranty. These attributes support regulatory compliance, rugged field performance, and lower long-term maintenance costs in exposed or washdown areas.
Common applications include protecting panel boards, motor control centers, and process automation equipment in manufacturing plants, data centers, and oil & gas facilities. Its 160 kAIC rating, 480V delta compatibility, and external mounting make it suitable for high-energy environments where downtime and equipment damage carry substantial costs.
