Feature → 160 kAIC interrupt rating with a 600V Delta protection scheme provides robust transient suppression at the source. Business Impact → This capability reduces nuisance trips, minimizes unscheduled downtime, and extends the service life of soft starters, drives, and PLCs in demanding production lines. Application → Ideal for critical loads in control panels, motor control centers, and process feeders where reliability directly ties to uptime and yield. Feature → The NEMA 4X enclosure combined with external side mounting provides a rugged, weather-resistant installation footprint that is easy to adapt to existing cabinets. Business Impact → It enables installation in damp, dusty, or washdown environments without enclosure modifications or special mounting hardware, cutting installation time by hours. Application → Suitable for outdoor enclosures, plant floor cabinets, and dusty production zones where moisture and debris are common. Feature → Audible alarm offers immediate fault notification and visual indicators, so technicians can verify protection status without opening panels. Business Impact → This reduces mean time to repair by directing maintenance crews to the source of a surge and preventing cascading failures. Application → Particularly valuable in high-availability lines, packaging stations, and automated assembly cells where every minute of downtime matters. Feature → SPC series compatibility with 600V Delta systems ensures straightforward integration with legacy equipment and retrofit projects. Business Impact → It minimizes engineering effort, wiring changes, and panel downtime during upgrades, accelerating time-to-value. Application → Deploy across existing manufacturing lines, distribution panels, and machine bays that require reliable, plug-and-play surge protection. Feature → A 10-year warranty alongside UL 1449 listing signals vendor confidence and long-term support for mission-critical facilities. Business Impact → Lowers total cost of ownership by reducing replacement intervals and strengthening compliance with internal safety and reliability targets. Application → Appropriate for OEMs and end users in regulated industries seeking durable protection and predictable budgeting.

FAQs
Begin by mounting the device on the external side of the enclosure per the datasheet. Connect to a 600V Delta supply, and size the conductors for 160 kAIC ratings. Use the audible alarm lead for status indication and keep the space around the unit clear for heat dissipation and service. The SPC160600D3P is designed to integrate with the SPC series for straightforward retrofits.
Key specifications include a 160 kAIC interrupt rating and a 600V Delta voltage rating, supporting robust transient suppression for industrial loads. The device uses a 7.5 inch depth and 8.5 inch height within a 3.19 inch wide footprint, and it weighs about 4 pounds. It is UL 1449 listed and ships with a 10-year warranty for long-term reliability.
Yes. The NEMA 4X enclosure protects against moisture, dust, and washdown exposure, making it suitable for outdoor installations and tough plant floors. External side mounting simplifies mounting in tight spaces, while the audible alarm provides immediate feedback to maintenance teams. This SPD supports critical loads in harsh manufacturing environments where uptime is essential.
SPC160600D3P is UL 1449 listed for safety and surge protection. The rugged NEMA 4X enclosure further supports environmental resilience in damp, dusty, and washdown-prone areas. The combination of these certifications and enclosure ratings helps meet industry reliability standards and supports audits in regulated facilities. UL 1449 safety certification and NEMA 4X enclosure also align with IEC expectations for panel protection in manufacturing, packaging, and processing environments.
By preventing surge damage and reducing unplanned downtime, the SPC160600D3P lowers maintenance intervals and replacement costs for critical equipment. The audible alarm speeds fault identification, while the 10-year warranty provides budgeting predictability and vendor support. Its rugged enclosure and simple mounting minimize field labor and retrofit time, delivering faster time-to-value for OEMs and end users.
