SPC
The SPC160600Y5P delivers a 160 kAIC interrupt rating, enabling higher surge energy handling and reducing downstream damage to essential drives, contactors, and PLCs. In practice, this translates to fewer panel trips and lower replacement costs in mission‑critical equipment, improving overall uptime in manufacturing lines and data centers. It also supports 347/600V Wye configurations, allowing seamless integration with common industrial feeders and switchgear, which translates to faster commissioning and fewer wiring errors during installation. The rugged NEMA 4X enclosure provides weather and washdown resistance, simplifying outdoor or damp indoor deployments and reducing enclosure maintenance over the system life. With audible alarm and Form C relay, operators gain real‑time local indication and remote signaling to plant controllers, enabling proactive maintenance and faster fault isolation. External side mounting speeds retrofits and serviceability in crowded or expanding panel environments, delivering installation efficiency and reduced downtime during upgrades. A 10‑year warranty and UL 1449 listing further reduce total cost of ownership by ensuring long‑term protection and compliance for power quality initiatives.

FAQs
The SPC160600Y5P uses external side mounting, allowing installation on standard panel enclosures with accessible wiring. Follow NEC guidelines for wiring and clearances, connect line/load per the 347/600V Wye configuration, and ensure the audible alarm and Form C relay are wired to your monitoring or PLC system for integrated protection.
This device delivers a 160 kAIC interrupt rating for surge energy, supports 347/600V Wye systems, and is UL 1449 listed with a rugged NEMA 4X enclosure. It is designed for external side mounting and includes an audible alarm and Form C relay for status signaling to building management or plant controls.
Yes. The unit’s NEMA 4X enclosure provides protection against dust, water, and washdown exposure, making it suitable for both outdoor installations and damp indoor spaces. Proper installation should still follow local codes and ensure adequate drainage and clearance for servicing.
The audible alarm offers immediate local notification of a surge event, while the Form C relay provides a dry-contact signal to remote monitoring systems or PLCs. This enables automated alerts, interlocks, and proactive maintenance workflows, improving fault response times and reducing unplanned downtime.
By reducing surge-related damage and downtime with a high 160 kAIC rating, UL listing, and a durable NEMA 4X enclosure, the SPC160600Y5P lowers maintenance costs and extends equipment life. ROI depends on surge incidence and system criticality, but overall lifecycle cost is reduced through improved uptime and simpler compliance reporting.
