Eaton SPC200480D8P Surge Protection Device - UL 1449
Part Number: SPC200480D8P
Quick Summary
The Eaton SPC200480D8P surge protection device guards 480V Delta systems from transient overvoltages, protecting critical control panels and motor circuits. In real-world installations, unexpected spikes can cause downtime, damaged drives, or erratic control behavior; this SPD mitigates that risk by diverting surges before they reach sensitive components. UL 1449 safety certification and the rugged NEMA 4X enclosure ensure reliable operation in harsh environments, while external side mounting simplifies retrofit and service. With its SPC series foundation, this protector aligns with industrial protection strategies and supports scalable panel protection for high-uptime manufacturing environments.

The 200 kAIC interrupt rating provides robust surge handling, meaning higher fault currents won’t compromise downstream equipment, which translates to less unplanned downtime in MCCs and panel boards. This translates to tangible cost savings and extended asset life, particularly in high-load applications where transient events are frequent. Filtering capabilities reduce high-frequency noise and voltage spikes, improving the stability of PLCs, drives, and embedded control electronics, while maintaining power quality in demanding production lines. An integrated alarm and Form C relay enables remote fault signaling and control-system integration, facilitating faster maintenance responses and better asset monitoring across SCADA and HMIs. The rugged NEMA 4X enclosure protects the device from dust, moisture, and corrosion, ensuring reliable performance in damp, dirty, or wash-down environments. External side mounting streamlines installation, retrofits, and future relocations by minimizing internal clearance requirements and simplifying wiring. Compatibility with standard 480V delta systems supports rapid deployment across existing electrical infrastructures, reducing project risk. A 10-year warranty provides long-term lifecycle cost advantages and consistent support for procurement programs, reinforcing total cost of ownership advantages. This combination of protection, monitoring, and durable construction supports safer operations and predictable power quality in continuous-process industries, from metals to plastics to logistics warehouses.
