FAQs
The SPC160600D4P is designed for external side mounting, enabling straightforward installation alongside existing switchgear. With a compact 7.5 in length, 8.5 in height, and 3.19 in width, it fits most standard panels and MCCs. Its 4 lb weight facilitates mounting in tight spaces without stressing the panel structure, while maintaining secure electrical connections and minimal service disruption.
Key specs include a 160 kAIC interrupt rating and a 600V Delta voltage rating, suitable for protecting three-phase delta systems. The device is a surge protection device (SPD) with an external Form C relay option for signaling. These features collectively safeguard drives, PLCs, and motors while enabling remote monitoring and rapid fault indication.
Yes. The unit is built in a NEMA 4X enclosure, offering robust ingress protection for damp, dusty, and washdown environments. Coupled with UL 1449 certification for surge protection, this SPD is appropriate for outdoor substations, weather-exposed panels, and tough factory floors where reliability is essential.
The Form C relay offers a configurable contact for surge-event signaling. It can feed alarms to local indicators or SCADA systems, trigger interlocks, or initiate maintenance workflows. This capability supports proactive maintenance and faster response times, reducing risk of downstream equipment damage during surge events.
The SPC160600D4P carries a 10-year warranty, reflecting Eaton's commitment to reliability. This extended coverage lowers lifecycle maintenance costs, reduces replacement frequency, and improves ROI by minimizing downtime, spare part inventory, and potential revenue losses from surge-related outages.
