Feature → Business Impact → Application: 160 kAIC interrupt rating handles high fault currents, protecting downstream equipment and reducing unplanned downtime in power distribution and motor control centers. This capability translates to improved equipment life and lower maintenance costs for automated lines that experience frequent surges or switching transients. Application: large panels, motor drives, and feeders in manufacturing environments where transient events are common. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 600V Delta voltage rating aligns with many three-phase industrial networks, ensuring effective protection across common drive and automation topologies. This results in fewer nuisance trips and more consistent process control, particularly in facilities with mixed voltage zones. Application: delta-connected feeders and automation cabinets in process plants.Feature → Business Impact → Application: NEMA 4X enclosure provides water, dust, and corrosion resistance, enabling outdoor or washdown areas to remain protected without enclosure compromises. This reduces exposure risk and maintenance cycles, supporting outdoor substations and exposed equipment in harsh environments. Application: outdoor enclosures, washdown areas, and exposed equipment bays. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Filtering and Form C relay offer EMI reduction and a signaling path for fault conditions, enabling remote monitoring and interlock capabilities. This improves diagnostic visibility, speeds maintenance decisions, and enhances safety interlocks in control schemes. Application: panel-level diagnostics and remote signaling networks.Feature → Business Impact → Application: External side mounting simplifies retrofit and reduces installation time for existing panels, lowering labor costs and minimizing downtime during upgrading projects. Application: upgrading legacy installations and expanding capacity in retrofit projects. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 10-year warranty and UL 1449 listing provide long-term assurance, helping procurement justify lifecycle costs and improve TCO for mission-critical protection in automation lines. Application: plant-wide procurement programs and reliability-focused maintenance plans.

FAQs
The SPC160600D7P is designed for external side mounting, ideal for new installations and retrofits in control panels and cabinet spaces. It supports 600V Delta networks and provides both surge protection and Form C signaling contacts. Wiring should follow the manufacturer's torque and conductor guidelines, ensuring proper clearance and accessibility for maintenance. In practice, crews appreciate the compact footprint (7.5 in deep, 3.19 in wide, 8.5 in high) and 4 lb weight for straightforward installation in mid- to large-size panels.
The SPC160600D7P offers an interrupt rating of 160 kAIC and a voltage rating of 600V Delta. These specs indicate strong transient protection suitable for demanding industrial environments, including motor drives and automation panels. The combination of high current capability and delta configuration helps ensure reliable suppression of surges and reduced stress on downstream equipment.
Yes. The device is housed in a NEMA 4X enclosure, which provides protection against water, dust, and corrosion in challenging environments. This makes it suitable for outdoor installations, washdown areas, and exposed electrical cabinets common in industrial facilities, while maintaining protection integrity and uptime during adverse conditions.
The SPC160600D7P is UL 1449 listed, confirming its surge protection performance and safety compliance. The data does not specify CE or IP ratings for this model, so users should reference the product datasheet or contact Eaton for confirmation on additional regional certifications or certifications beyond UL 1449.
With a 10-year warranty and UL 1449-listed protection, the SPC160600D7P reduces maintenance interruptions and extends the life of protected equipment. The robust 160 kAIC rating minimizes downtime during surge events, lowering replacement costs and unplanned maintenance, which translates to a favorable return on investment for automated plants and mission-critical systems.
