SPC
High-energy surge capacity is a core feature of the SPC160600Y4P. The 160 kAIC interrupt rating delivers robust surge handling, reducing protective device trips, downtime, and downstream damage during lightning events or utility switching transients. In industrial control panels and motor drives, this capability translates into faster recovery, fewer spare-parts requirements, and improved line uptime for high-demand manufacturing lines. 347/600V Wye voltage rating enables protection across a broad set of industrial networks. This rating supports direct protection on feeders and panels fed from common 480V or 600V services when appropriately configured, simplifying the design and reducing the need for additional step-down equipment. End-users benefit from consistent surge behavior across mixed-voltage architectures and easier regulatory alignment. NEMA 4X enclosure delivers rugged, weather-resistant protection against dust, water, and wash-down environments. This enclosure rating minimizes corrosion risk and extends service life in harsh manufacturing floors, outdoor substations, and process plants. Combined with UL 1449 compliance, it helps facilities meet reliability and safety standards without extra enclosure upgrades. External side mounting offers installation flexibility and faster retrofits. By attaching the device to the panel exterior or a dedicated enclosure, technicians reduce panel removal time and avoid disrupting existing field wiring. In practice, this accelerates commissioning, simplifies maintenance, and supports scalable protection deployment across growing facilities. Form C relay support integrates protection signaling with control logic. Engineers can wire alarms, interlocks, or remote indicators directly from the surge protector, reducing wiring complexity and speeding fault diagnosis. This feature aligns with automation architectures that require concise, dependable signaling without adding separate relays or interface modules. UL 1449 listing confirms performance for transient suppression and safety compliance. When combined with the SPC series' proven reliability, it delivers a compelling total-cost-of-ownership advantage for OEMs, integrators, and end-users facing strict uptime targets.

FAQs
SPC160600Y4P is designed for external side mounting in standard enclosures and panels. The NEMA 4X rated housing protects against dust, water, and wash-down environments, while its compact footprint simplifies retrofit into existing electrical rooms. The Form C relay feature enables direct integration with control circuits, enabling alarms or interlocks without extra hardware.
The SPC160600Y4P delivers 160 kAIC interrupt rating, suitable for high-energy surge events. It is rated for 347/600V Wye systems, allowing protection across common 480V-compatible networks with appropriate transformers or service configurations. This combination supports reliable energy control in industrial panels while maintaining UL 1449 compliance. For maintainers, its energy handling reduces risk of nuisance trips and equipment damage during grid fluctuations.
Yes. The SPC160600Y4P includes a Form C relay option, enabling normally open or normally closed control signaling directly from the surge protector. This simplifies alarm, interlock, and remote monitoring wiring, reducing panel complexity and installation time while ensuring consistent protective timing with the device’s 160 kAIC capability. System integrators appreciate the plug-and-play nature alongside panel-mounted indicators.
Yes, the SPC160600Y4P is UL 1449 listed, reflecting tested transient protection performance. It uses a rugged NEMA 4X enclosure suitable for damp environments, outdoor installations, and wash-down applications. The combination supports reliable, code-compliant protection for critical loads in manufacturing, water treatment, and processing facilities. This makes procurement straightforward and reduces variance in protection strategies across sites.
The SPC160600Y4P carries a 10-year warranty, reflecting Eaton’s confidence in long-term reliability. With no routine maintenance required for standard operation and robust UL listings, the device reduces spare part costs and unplanned downtime. Its high-energy rating also lowers total cost of ownership in high-surge environments. Maintenance realistically centers on routine inspection and connector integrity checks during site service visits.
