Eaton SPC160480Y7P Surge Protection Device - UL 1449

Feature: 160 kAIC interrupt rating with integrated transient filtering. This protection minimizes motor drive stress, reduces unplanned downtime, and lowers maintenance costs by absorbing surges before they reach critical equipment across manufacturing lines and data center power rooms when installed in external-side mounting. Application: The device is designed for external-side mounting on standard panels, enabling fast retrofits and scalable upgrades in new and existing installations. Feature: The 277/480V Wye rating provides immediate compatibility with common industrial distribution schemes, eliminating the need for expensive transformers or adapters in many mid- to large-size facilities. Business impact: This compatibility reduces engineering time, minimizes miswiring risk, and accelerates compliance testing while preserving coordination with upstream protection devices. Application: It protects control panels, MCCs, and switchgear across manufacturing, chemical, and processing plants where reliable high-voltage surge protection is essential. Feature: NEMA 4X enclosure delivers rugged, corrosion- and washdown-resistant protection suitable for outdoor sites, damp locations, and harsh industrial environments. Business impact: It ensures durable performance with minimal maintenance, reducing corrosion-related downtime and replacement costs, even in salt spray or humid conditions. Application: Outdoor substations, loading docks, and equipment located near cleaning zones or exposure to rain benefit from compliant, field-ready surge protection. Feature: Filtering and Form C relay provide EMI suppression and flexible signaling for remote alarms, enabling integration with PLCs, SCADA systems, and building management. Business impact: This enables proactive maintenance, faster fault diagnosis, and improved mean time between repairs by delivering actionable status signals with minimal false trips. Application: Use in automated production lines and process control rooms where rapid visibility of surge events improves operator response. Feature: External side mounting simplifies retrofit and field installation, reducing wiring complexity, cutover time, and risk during modernization projects. Business impact: A 10-year warranty coupled with straightforward installation lowers total cost of ownership while delivering long-term protection for critical assets. Application: Ideal for panel upgrades, modular builds, and facilities pursuing uptime commitments in utilities, manufacturing, and data-center environments.
