The SPC200240S4P offers a 200 kAIC interrupt rating, which translates to robust protection against high-energy surge events, reducing the risk of equipment damage and unplanned downtime in demanding facilities. This capability directly lowers maintenance costs and extends the service life of sensitive drives and controllers, especially in environments with frequent switching transients. Its 120/240 V split-phase rating covers a wide range of industrial loads, enabling reliable protection across MCCs, VFDs, and control panels without the need for custom configurations. The NEMA 4X enclosure ensures ingress protection from dust, water, and corrosion, supporting installation in damp or outdoors-adjacent spaces and simplifying compliance with harsh-environment standards. The Form C relay offers signaling and interlock capabilities, enabling remote status monitoring and integration with automation logic for safer, more efficient operations. External side mounting simplifies retrofits and field upgrades by minimizing enclosure disassembly and allowing quick, secure installation. With UL 1449 certification and a 10-year warranty, engineers can justify protection investments with confidence, knowing both safety and total cost of ownership are addressed. The SPC series is designed to work with standard Eaton control components and is compatible with existing panel wiring practices, reducing training time and accelerating deployment in new builds or upgrades. Real-world industry contexts show that reliable SPD protection can improve line uptime, protect critical variable frequency drives, and support energy-management initiatives by minimizing surge-induced faults.

FAQs

SPC200240S4P uses external side mounting and fits standard 120/240 V split-phase panels. Its dimensions (7.5 in length, 8.5 in height, 3.19 in width) and 4 lb weight support straightforward retrofits into many enclosure footprints. It integrates with Form C signaling, enabling simple control wiring and status monitoring in existing control architectures.
A 200 kAIC rating indicates the device can safely interrupt high-energy surge currents without compromising its integrity. This translates to enhanced protection for connected equipment like drives, PLCs, and motors, reducing the likelihood of catastrophic failures during severe transient events and improving overall system uptime.
Yes. The unit is housed in a NEMA 4X enclosure designed to withstand wet, dusty, and corrosive conditions. This makes it suitable for outdoor-mounted panels or damp indoor rooms, ensuring reliable surge protection without compromising enclosure integrity or requiring additional weatherproofing accessories.
This Eaton SPD is UL 1449 certified and packaged in a rugged NEMA 4X enclosure for harsh environments. These certifications confirm compliance with safety and performance expectations for surge protection devices in industrial settings, supporting regulatory alignment and risk reduction across panels and downstream equipment.
The SPC200240S4P carries a 10-year warranty, reflecting Eaton's confidence in long-term performance. Routine maintenance for surge protectors typically involves periodic visual checks, ensuring connections remain tight, and replacing the device if an end-of-life indicator or surge history indicates diminished protection. This approach helps sustain protection levels with predictable costs.
