SPC
The SPC160480D8P offers industry-leading protection with a 160 kAIC interrupt rating, guarding sensitive equipment from high-energy transients that can occur on 480V Delta power. This translates to reduced unplanned outages, lower component wear, and longer life for drives, PLCs, and switchgear in automated lines. In practice, you’ll experience fewer nuisance trips and cleaner power, enabling smoother machine cycles and improved process reliability in manufacturing, water treatment, and material handling applications. The external side mounting and compact footprint simplify retrofit projects and new installations alike, saving labor time and reducing panel modification costs. Filtering, an integrated alarm, and a Form C relay provide fast fault signaling to remote monitoring systems, supporting proactive maintenance and faster fault isolation. The device’s robustness, UL 1449 compliance, and NEMA 4X enclosure make it suitable for harsh environments, including damp, dusty, or corrosive plant areas, while maintaining compatibility with Eaton SPC-series protection schemes and existing control architectures. This combination helps owners meet uptime targets, regulatory expectations, and total cost of ownership goals without compromising on protection performance or ease of deployment.

FAQs
SPC160480D8P is designed for external side mounting in control panels and switchgear housings. Its footprint (7.5 in L × 8.5 in H × 3.19 in W) and 4 lb weight simplify mounting in crowded spaces. Use standard panel cutouts and factory-approved hardware; no special tools beyond typical electrical installation practices are required.
SPC160480D8P delivers 160 kAIC interrupt rating for fast transients on 480V Delta systems. It is UL 1449 listed and housed in a NEMA 4X enclosure for rugged environments. The unit also includes filtration and an integrated alarm with a Form C relay for remote signaling, helping minimize outages and support compliant operations.
Yes. The device is built around a NEMA 4X enclosure, providing moisture, dust, and corrosion resistance suitable for harsh industrial environments. Combined with UL 1449 surge protection, it maintains performance in exposed panels or dusty, wet plant areas while protecting critical automation equipment.
When upgrading, ensure external side mounting compatibility with existing enclosures and panel cutouts. Verify the 7.5 in length, 8.5 in height, and 3.19 in width fit within your panel space. Plan for remote signaling via the Form C relay and enable filtering to reduce EMI. Use SPC-series intercompatibility with existing protection schemes for a seamless retrofit.
The SPC160480D8P carries a 10-year warranty, reflecting Eaton’s confidence in long-term reliability. ROI comes from reduced unscheduled downtime, lower repair costs for sensitive electronics, and easier regulatory compliance thanks to UL 1449 listing. The integrated alarm and Form C relay also support proactive maintenance and rapid fault isolation.
