With a 160 kAIC interrupt rating and a 488 V voltage rating, this surge protection device safely diverts high-energy transients away from critical equipment. The result is lower risk of catastrophic faults, extended life for drives, PLCs, and sensors, and improved overall uptime in industrial automation environments. It is particularly well-suited for 480 V single-phase power rails powering motors, conveyors, and process equipment where reliability is essential. The rugged NEMA 4X enclosure delivers dependable operation in harsh environments, from washdown zones to dusty factories, and its external side mounting simplifies installation and frees valuable panel space for easier commissioning and future upgrades. The inclusion of UL 1449 and UL1283 5th Edition certification ensures regulatory compliance and dependable performance under surge conditions, helping protect control circuits and instrumentation. Filtering reduces EMI that can affect sensors and automation loops, supporting stable process control and fewer nuisance trips. The compact SPC series form factor enables straightforward retrofits and new panel builds, while the 10-year warranty lowers lifecycle risk and reinforces long-term protection of critical assets.
