High-energy transient events demand robust mitigation; the SPC160600Y8P delivers a 160 kAIC interrupt rating to clamp surges before they reach sensitive equipment. This performance translates into measurable reductions in transformer and PLC input damage, fewer nuisance trips, and longer MTBF for critical lines. In practice, installers can rely on consistent protection across a broad spectrum of industrial power conditions. The device is designed for 347/600V Wye systems, matching typical industrial feeders and motor control centers, minimizing the need for reconfiguration when upgrading protection in existing installations. The NEMA 4X enclosure protects against dust, water ingress, and corrosion on factory floors, while external side mounting simplifies wiring and access for testing. Filtering, plus an Alarm and Form C relay, gives operators real-time visibility and control for integration with BAS and PLCs. The SPC series supports straightforward wiring with standard conduit and panel cutouts, reducing installation time and downtime during upgrades. A 10-year warranty and UL 1449 listing provide predictable total cost of ownership and long-term reliability for power protection in mission-critical environments.

FAQs
The SPC160600Y8P is designed for external side mounting in standard electrical panels, simplifying device access and wiring. With overall dimensions matching typical panel cutouts (approximately 7.5 in L, 3.19 in W, 5 in H) and a weight around 3.5 lb, it slots into common enclosure footprints without structural modifications. Ensure the mounting location provides clear signaling access to the built-in alarm and Form C relay for integration with BMS or PLCs. Compatible with 347/600V Wye systems, it supports straightforward upgrades in existing installations.
The SPC160600Y8P delivers a 160 kAIC interrupt rating, suitable for high-energy transients typical in industrial environments. It operates on 347/600V Wye configurations, offering robust protection for feeders and control circuits. UL 1449 listing confirms compliance with recognized surge suppressor standards, while the NEMA 4X enclosure enhances environmental resilience. Together, these specs translate to higher protection margins, reduced voltage spikes reaching sensitive equipment, and fewer unplanned shutdowns.
Yes. For data centers, the device helps protect critical power supplies and UPS inputs from transient surges, improving uptime. In manufacturing lines, it guards motor drives, PLCs, and control cabinets from voltage spikes, reducing maintenance costs and extending equipment life. The external side mounting and built-in alarm relay support rapid fault detection and quick response workflows, while the 347/600V Wye compatibility aligns with common industrial power distribution schemes.
The SPC160600Y8P is UL 1449 listed, ensuring standard safety and performance criteria for surge protection devices. It comes in a NEMA 4X enclosure, offering protection against dust, water ingress, and corrosion in challenging environments. While additional regional certifications may apply, these two features provide strong baseline compliance for industrial installations and outdoor panels, helping maintain safety and reliability across facilities.
With a 10-year warranty, the SPC160600Y8P offers predictable long-term costs and reduced maintenance surprises. The integrated Alarm and Form C relay streamline monitoring and automated fault handling, potentially lowering manual inspection frequency. By minimizing surge-related equipment damage and downtime, facilities can realize lower repair costs and improved production throughput, delivering a favorable total cost of ownership over the device’s service life.
