SPC
The SPC160600D5P uses a 160 kAIC interrupt rating to absorb transient surges, vilket minimizes the likelihood of device damage and costly downtime. This translates to measurable business impact: fewer unplanned outages, extended lifespan for critical assets like PLCs and motor drives, and improved system reliability across industrial automation environments. The 600V Delta rating ensures compatibility with typical industrial power architectures, enabling seamless protection for motors, drives, and control circuits without requiring re-engineering of existing panels. Its NEMA 4X enclosure offers rugged protection against dust, water, and corrosion, reducing field service calls and enabling installation in challenging indoor and outdoor locations. Audible alarm and Form C relay provide immediate fault indication and remote monitoring capability, supporting proactive maintenance programs and faster fault diagnostics. The external side mounting design simplifies retrofits and additions to multi-bay panels, accelerating project timelines and lowering installation costs. UL 1449 listed status reinforces compliance with safety standards, while a 10-year warranty offers long-term total cost of ownership advantages. Industry professionals benefit from documented compatibility with Eaton SPC series accessories and a proven protection strategy that aligns with asset management and uptime goals.

FAQs
The SPC160600D5P is designed for external side mounting, which simplifies installation in existing panels and supports quick retrofits in multi-bay configurations. This mounting approach reduces field wiring complexity, minimizes panel opening time, and allows straightforward alignment with door or panel cutouts, enabling faster commissioning and easier future upgrades without reworking internal layouts.
An interrupt rating of 160 kAIC indicates the device can safely interrupt very large transient currents without compromising the protection system or surrounding insulation. For facilities with high-energy surges from switching events or utility faults, this rating translates to enhanced protection for downstream equipment such as drives, PLCs, and control circuits, reducing the risk of catastrophic damage and downtime.
Yes. The SPC160600D5P is UL 1449 listed, confirming compliance with established surge protection safety standards. It is housed in a NEMA 4X enclosure, providing robust protection against dust, water, and corrosion, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments both indoors and in exposed locations. This combination supports reliable performance in automation facilities and contributes to lifecycle cost savings.
Primary applications include protection of industrial control panels, motor drives, PLCs, and sensitive process equipment in manufacturing and processing facilities. The SPC series is well-suited for panel protection in harsh environments, where reliable surge suppression helps maintain uptime, protect critical assets, and support compliance with electrical safety standards while enabling scalable protection across multi-panel installations.
The audible alarm provides immediate, local fault indication, while the Form C relay enables remote signaling, integration with PLCs, BMS, or SCADA systems, and alarm annunciation in centralized dashboards. Together, these features reduce mean time to repair, improve proactive maintenance planning, and enhance visibility into surge events, supporting better asset management and faster response to protection faults.
