The SPC160600D8P features a 160 kAIC interrupt rating paired with a 600V Delta voltage rating, all housed in a NEMA 4X enclosure to withstand washdown and harsh environments. This combination delivers robust protection for industrial power circuits, safeguarding motor drives, PLCs, and control panels from damaging surges and reducing unplanned downtime. The external side mounting option simplifies retrofits and new installations, enabling quick integration into existing enclosures without compromising cabinet space or wiring practices. Filtering minimizes EMI and noise on the supply line, which translates to improved reliability for sensitive sensors and communication networks within automation systems. An integrated alarm and Form C relay provides immediate fault signaling to plant operators or a centralized monitoring system, supporting predictive maintenance and faster corrective actions. With a 10-year warranty, OEM-grade protection becomes a predictable portion of total cost of ownership, lowering maintenance costs over the asset life. In practice, engineers can rely on this device to meet UL 1449 standards while maintaining compliance with industry best practices for electrical protection and panel design. The SPD’s compatibility with the SPC series ensures seamless integration with Eaton protection strategies, reducing engineering time and ensuring consistent protection across multi-panel deployments. This is especially valuable in food & beverage, process automation, and manufacturing environments where uptime and safety are critical.
