SPC
The SPC160600Y7P delivers a 160 kAIC interrupt rating, enabling it to clamp severe fault currents before they reach sensitive devices. This protection reduces downstream equipment damage, lowers maintenance costs, and minimizes downtime in critical production lines. In manufacturing, data centers, and process environments with high transient activity, this level of surge capacity translates to tangible reliability gains. Its 347/600V Wye voltage rating supports three-phase systems common in industrial facilities, providing versatile protection across switchgear, panelboards, and motor control centers. External side mounting simplifies integration with existing enclosures, reduces space requirements, and accelerates retrofit projects. This enables faster commissioning and reduces installation costs while maintaining accessibility for testing. With a NEMA 4X enclosure, the SPC160600Y7P resists dust, moisture, and washdowns in harsh environments. Combined with UL 1449 listing, it meets essential industry standards for surge protection performance. The rugged build supports outdoor or damp locations, limiting cabinet openings and potential contamination. Filter integration reduces EMI/RFI conducted interference, helping control loops stay stable in noisy factory floors. The Form C relay provides local or remote signaling for status, alarms, or automated shutdowns. These features simplify compliance reporting and integration with SCADA or industrial data systems. External side mounting and a compact footprint enable quick upgrades and minimal downtime during replacements. A 10-year warranty adds predictable maintenance budgeting and long-term value. For installers, the device’s modular configuration and documented specifications streamline troubleshooting and service planning. Together, these capabilities make the SPC160600Y7P a robust choice for protecting critical loads while supporting efficient maintenance programs and scalable automation architectures.

FAQs

External side mounting simplifies retrofit by reducing enclosure intrusion and space requirements. To install, follow standard panel access procedures, maintain clearances for heat dissipation, and connect to the 347/600V Wye system per the wiring diagram. The result is rapid deployment with minimal disruption to existing equipment while preserving accessibility for inspections.
Yes. The device includes integrated filtering to suppress conducted EMI/RFI and a Form C relay for local or remote status signaling. This combination enhances control reliability, enables alarms or interlocks in SCADA or automation systems, and improves visibility into protective events without adding external components.
Absolutely. The 347/600V Wye rating is designed for three-phase industrial power distribution, aligning with common manufacturing and process plant infrastructure. Its 160 kAIC interrupt capability provides robust transient protection, supporting sensitive equipment and reducing the risk of uncontrolled outages in busy production lines.
The SPC160600Y7P is UL 1449 listed for surge protection performance and comes in a rugged NEMA 4X enclosure, suitable for wet or dusty environments and washdown-prone locations. This combination supports compliance with industry standards and ensures reliability in harsh industrial settings.
Expected ROI stems from reduced downtime and extended equipment life due to superior surge protection. The device’s 160 kAIC rating minimizes downstream damage, while the 10-year warranty lowers maintenance budgeting risk. Faster installation with external side mounting also reduces commissioning time and labor costs during upgrades or retrofits.
