SPC
High energy transient protection is delivered by the SPC160480N6P with a 160 kAIC interrupt rating and a 488 V operating voltage. This capability minimizes damage to sensitive controllers and drives during lightning events or switching transients, reducing repair costs and unplanned downtime in single‑phase power distributions found in manufacturing lines and process equipment. Feature: Filtering and alarm functions enhance power quality and visibility. Business impact: by filtering transients and signaling faults, maintenance teams can triage events faster and schedule preventive actions, lowering nuisance tripping. Application: suits data centers, manufacturing lines, and automation cells requiring continuous monitoring and rapid response to power disturbances. Feature: NEMA 4X enclosure provides rugged, weather‑resistant protection. Business impact: enables reliable exterior or harsh indoor deployments without additional housings, reducing installation cost and time. Application: outdoor panels, washdown-ready plants, and dusty environments where environmental sealing matters. Feature: External side mounting simplifies retrofits and new installations. Business impact: reduces wiring complexity, speeds service, and supports modular upgrades in existing panels. Application: retrofit projects and new builds where space is limited and quick access is needed. Feature: 10-year warranty and UL 1449 certification streamline procurement and compliance. Business impact: lowers long‑term ownership risk and supports regulatory alignment, while ensuring safety standards are met. Application: procurement for plant expansion, OEM sourcing, and industrial electrical upgrades. Feature: Compact dimensions—5.5 in long, 3.19 in wide, 6 in high—and 2.5 lb weight enable flexible placement in crowded enclosures. Business impact: maximizes panel efficiency and improves thermal management by fitting in tight spaces with minimal added mass. Application: panelboard upgrades, control cabinets, and equipment enclosures across manufacturing settings.

FAQs
The SPC160480N6P is a single-phase surge protection device designed to guard control panels, PLCs, and other sensitive electronics from transient voltages. With a 160 kAIC interrupt rating and a 488 V operating range, it helps prevent startup failures, protects equipment investments, and supports consistent production uptime in manufacturing environments.
Yes. The SPC160480N6P carries UL 1449 certification for surge protection safety, and its NEMA 4X enclosure provides rugged, weather-resistant protection suitable for outdoor or washdown environments. Always verify mounting and ambient conditions per the installation sheet to ensure optimal performance in outdoor panels.
The device is engineered as a surge protection device with a high 160 kAIC interrupt rating and a 488 V rating, complemented by filtering and an alarm. This combination suppresses transient spikes, reduces voltage noise in control circuits, and provides fault signaling to enable proactive maintenance and faster fault isolation in automated systems.
Install via external side mounting in a suitably rated enclosure, preferably in an industrial panel or outdoor cabinet. The unit measures 5.5 in long, 3.19 in wide, and 6 in high, weighs 2.5 lb, and is rated for single-phase 488 V systems with a 160 kAIC interrupt rating. Follow the manufacturer’s wiring diagram for correct connection.
The SPC160480N6P carries a 10-year warranty and includes an alarm feature for proactive monitoring. This reduces maintenance surprises by providing visibility into power disturbances, lowering total cost of ownership through fewer unscheduled outages and streamlined compliance during audits or regulatory reviews.
