High-energy protection: The SPC160480N7P delivers a 160 kAIC interrupt rating and a 488 V rating, absorbing large transients at the source. This reduces spike propagation to downstream equipment and minimizes unplanned downtime. Ideal for control panels, MCCs, and machine controls in manufacturing lines. Signal fidelity and remote visibility: Filtering combined with a Form C relay provides clean power, PLC-friendly signaling, and easy integration with remote monitors and BMS. This enables proactive maintenance and faster fault diagnosis in automation environments. Rugged build and certification: UL 1449 certified with a NEMA 4X enclosure ensures reliable operation in wet, dusty, or wash-down areas. This combination supports compliance and reduces the risk of weather- or environment-driven outages in industrial facilities. Ease of installation: Single-phase configuration with external side mounting simplifies retrofit and new-panel installations, reducing commissioning time and cabinet downtime. The compact footprint and 2.5 lb weight further streamline mounting in crowded switchgear or electrical rooms. Reliability and total cost of ownership: A 10-year warranty and durable construction translate to longer service intervals, lower maintenance costs, and predictable budgeting for plant protection across multiple production lines.
