FAQs
SPC200480N1P is designed for external side mounting, allowing it to be added to most standard control panels without intrusive internal changes. It supports straightforward wiring, reduces interior congestion, and aligns with SPC series protection schemes, easing retrofits and new builds alike.
A 200 kAIC interrupt rating indicates the device can safely interrupt high-energy surge currents without sustaining damage. This translates to better protection for downstream equipment such as drives and sensors and minimizes the risk of catastrophic failures during extreme transient events.
Yes. The SPC200480N1P is a single-phase SPD with a 488 V rating and a rugged NEMA 4X enclosure, making it well suited for harsh environments, washdown areas, and outdoor or exposed panel installations commonly found in industrial automation and manufacturing facilities.
The device carries UL 1449 certification, a widely recognized safety standard for surge protective devices. This certification supports regulatory compliance and procurement confidence, while the NEMA 4X enclosure provides robust environmental protection for challenging plant conditions.
Maintenance considerations focus on routine inspection of enclosure integrity and connection security, with expected gains in uptime and reduced downtime costs. ROI comes from extended equipment life, fewer surge-related failures, and predictable budgeting thanks to a durable design and a decade-long warranty.
