200 kAIC interrupt rating delivers robust surge capacity, absorbing high-energy transients before they reach downstream equipment. This protection minimizes arc fault risk and eliminates expensive device replacements, translating into lower spare parts costs and reduced downtime for critical lines like conveyors and presses. In practice, the SPC200240S8P guards motor drives, PLCs, and sensitive automation electronics across a wide range of industrial panels, delivering measurable improvements in line reliability. The device operates on 120/240 V split-phase power, aligning with common facility distributions and reducing wiring changes when upgrading existing protection schemes. Its external side mounting simplifies retrofits by allowing installation without removing interior components, while the compact footprint reduces required panel depth and service disruption. The rugged NEMA 4X enclosure withstands damp, dusty environments, outdoor installation, and washdown areas, extending service life and minimizing enclosure-related failures. With built-in filtering, nuisance tripping is minimized and electrical noise is reduced, safeguarding delicate electronics and improving control stability. An integrated alarm and Form C relay deliver real-time fault signaling and remote monitoring, enabling proactive maintenance and faster fault isolation. UL 1449 listing confirms compliance with surge protection standards, and the accompanying 10-year warranty supports predictable total cost of ownership and long-term performance in demanding industrial applications.

FAQs
SPC200240S8P is designed for external side mounting, simplifying retrofits without disturbing interior components. Its 7.5 in length, 8.5 in height, and 3.19 in width align with common panel depths, allowing quick integration alongside existing protection devices. Installers benefit from reduced downtime and straightforward alignment with pre-existing mounting bosses, ensuring reliable service in crowded control cabinets.
A 200 kAIC interrupt rating indicates the device can safely interrupt extremely high-energy surges without compromising downstream equipment. This rating translates to superior protection for motors, drives, and PLCs, reducing the likelihood of catastrophic damage during severe transient events and extending the life of critical automation components.
Ideal applications include control panels, motor drives, PLC-based automation front ends, and split-phase systems in manufacturing, packaging, and material handling environments. Its NEMA 4X enclosure and UL 1449 listing make it suitable for damp or dirty environments, while the built-in alarm and Form C relay support proactive maintenance and remote fault signaling.
The SPC200240S8P is UL 1449 listed, providing assurance of surge protection performance against relevant standards. It uses a rugged NEMA 4X enclosure suitable for harsh industrial settings, including damp or washdown areas. These certifications support regulatory compliance for industrial facilities and help satisfy code requirements in many jurisdictions.
Deployment reduces unplanned downtime by limiting transient events and extends the life of connected equipment, yielding lower replacement and maintenance costs. The device’s alarm signaling and Form C relay enable proactive maintenance, while the 10-year warranty and UL compliance deliver a favorable total cost of ownership in continuous operation facilities.
