Feature: 200 kAIC interrupt rating delivers heavy-duty surge handling for industrial loads. Business impact: reduces nuisance trips and downstream damage, translating into lower maintenance costs and shorter mean time to repair. Application: ideal for motor drives, transformers, and PLC racks in manufacturing lines where high-energy transients threaten uptime. This translates into measurable reliability gains during grid fluctuations and short-duration transients. Feature: 120/240 V split-phase input matches standard North American power systems. Business impact: simplifies panel design and stocking with a single SPD suitable for diverse sites. Application: protects commercial and light-industrial panels, service entrances, and distributed control cabinets. Reduced nuisance tripping lowers unplanned maintenance windows and improves line productivity. Feature: NEMA 4X enclosure for harsh environments. Business impact: durable protection against dust, water, and corrosion, extending service life in outdoor and wash-down areas. Application: ideal for outdoor panels, weather-exposed switchgear, and utility rooms. Certified for use in harsh environments, the enclosure supports broad installation options. Feature: Filtering with UL1283 5th Edition compliance reduces EMI/RFI and preserves signal integrity. Business impact: improves reliability of PLCs, HMIs, and instrumentation in noisy plant environments. Application: suitable for control cabinets housing sensitive electronics and communication interfaces. The filtering also helps meet EMI/EMC requirements for industrial automation deployments. Feature: External-side mounting simplifies retrofit and minimizes cabinet disruption. Business impact: reduces installation time and service interruptions, supporting faster project ramp and easier maintenance. Application: quickly integrates with existing panel boards, switchgear, and enclosure layouts. This mounting approach also enables flexible orientation to fit tight spaces. Feature: Compact form factor and 4 lb weight with a 7.5 in length, 8.5 in height, and 3.19 in width. Business impact: space-efficient protection that fits standard enclosures, enabling scalable deployment. Application: ideal for crowded electrical closets and space-constrained panels. The compact dimensions also aid in heat management by minimizing footprint and facilitating airflow. Warranty and certifications: 10-year warranty backed by UL 1449 certification and standard compliance.

FAQs
Plan for external-side mounting in a clean, accessible area with adequate clearance for heat dissipation and wiring. Use proper lugs or terminals and follow local codes for grounding. Confirm 120/240 V split-phase supply and neutral routing to ensure correct connection. Verify panel space and ensure the NEMA 4X enclosure remains unobstructed for service access.
Yes. The SPC200240S2P is explicitly designed for 120/240 V split-phase networks, common in US commercial, light-industrial, and multi-occupancy facilities. It mounts on external sides of panels, enabling straightforward integration with standard meter/board configurations. Ensure line and load connections follow the provided catalog instructions, and confirm the neutral conductor remains properly bonded to maintain correct reference voltages.
The 200 kAIC interrupt rating represents the maximum fault current the device can safely interrupt, reducing the risk of catastrophic device damage during large transients. In practice, this translates to lower maintenance costs, longer equipment life, and reduced downtime during grid disturbances. This is especially valuable for motor drives, transformers, and fault-prone panels in manufacturing lines.
It carries UL 1449 safety certification and UL1283 5th Edition features for EMI filtering, ensuring compliance with critical safety and performance requirements. The enclosure is rated NEMA 4X for wet or dusty environments, and the device is designed for 120/240 V split-phase circuits. These standards support reliable operation in industrial controls, service entrances, and outdoor applications.
Eaton backs the SPC200240S2P with a 10-year warranty, reflecting confidence in long-term performance. Routine maintenance is minimal, with no periodic parts to replace under normal operation. For uptime protection, consider checking for loose connections and ensuring the enclosure remains sealed against moisture. Technical support and datasheet resources are available to assist with installation and diagnostics.
