FAQs
Yes. The SPC160600Y3P is specified for 347/600V Wye systems and uses external side mounting, enabling straightforward integration into existing control panels and switchgear without major rework. Its 160 kAIC interrupt rating supports high-energy surges typical in industrial environments.
160 kAIC is the current rating indicating the maximum fault current the surge protector can safely interrupt without degradation. In practice, this means robust protection for motors, drives, and distribution panels during lightning or switching transients, helping prevent equipment damage and downtime.
Yes. The unit is designed with a NEMA 4X enclosure, offering protection against dust, water, and corrosion. This makes it suitable for indoor and some outdoor installations where environmental exposure is a concern while maintaining reliable surge protection.
Review panel space for the 7.5 in depth, 8.5 in height, and 3.19 in width footprint, ensure proper clearance for the audible alarm, verify external side mounting compatibility with existing lugs and busbars, and confirm the 347/600V Wye configuration aligns with your distribution design and UL 1449 compliance requirements.
The SPC160600Y3P reduces downtime and equipment wear from transient events, lowers maintenance costs through longer asset life, and offers a 10-year warranty that mitigates lifecycle risk. In practice, this translates to lower total cost of ownership for critical control panels and industrial power networks.
