160 kAIC interrupt rating ensures robust surge containment, reducing the risk of arc flash and field failure during voltage transients. This translates to lower unplanned downtime, protection of motor starters, drives, and sensors, and fewer costly field repairs across machine control centers and panel assemblies. 488 V voltage rating with single-phase configuration provides versatile protection for common industrial power rails and equipment supplied from 480 VAC systems. The SPC160480N4P integrates seamlessly with existing surge protection schemes, enabling phased deployment in new builds or retrofit projects without re-engineering downstream devices. NEMA 4X enclosure and external side mounting give you outdoor and harsh-environment capability with straightforward installation. The Form C relay option simplifies signaling to BMS or PLCs while allowing remote status monitoring and integration with control logic. UL 1449 listing confirms compliance with industry safety standards, while a 10-year warranty provides long-term protection and predictable total cost of ownership. Compact dimensions and a lightweight 2.5 lb profile help minimize enclosure footprint and wiring congestion, supporting cleaner panel layouts and faster commissioning. These features support a reliable, scalable surge protection strategy for data centers, manufacturing lines, and outdoor control cabinets.
