SPC
The SPC200480N2P provides high-energy surge protection with a 200 kAIC interrupt rating and a 488 V operating window, delivering fast clamping for single-phase systems. This capability directly reduces catastrophic damage to controllers, drives, and I/O modules, cutting unplanned downtime and extending component life. It is well-suited for industrial control panels and power distribution within manufacturing environments, where transient events are frequent. UL1283 5th Edition filtering minimizes EMI/RFI and transient noise that can trigger false trips or degrade digital I/O performance. The result is more reliable PLCs, HMIs, and servo drives, with fewer maintenance events and nuisance faults. This protection is particularly valuable in cabinets where automation networks, frequency drives, and sensor clusters share space in demanding environments. NEMA 4X enclosure provides corrosion resistance and weather sealing, enabling outdoor or wash-down environments without compromising protection. Business impact: reduces the need for additional enclosure upgrades and expands installation options, saving time and capital. Application: outdoor switchgear, process lines, and dusty or wet plant floors across manufacturing and facilities. External side mounting simplifies integration with existing enclosures and minimizes installation time. It supports clean wiring, easier retrofits, and better service accessibility, which translates to shorter project schedules and lower labor costs. Application: retrofit projects, new builds, and panel upgrades where external mounting aligns with panel layout and space constraints. Ten-year warranty and UL 1449 certification provide long-term protection and regulatory confidence. This combination helps procurement teams justify lifecycle costs while maintaining compliance with industry safety standards. Application: procurement planning for OEMs, integrators, and maintenance teams seeking durable, compliant surge protection in critical power paths.

FAQs
The SPC200480N2P is designed for external side mounting in single-phase applications. It fits standard panel enclosures and can retrofit existing protection devices with minimal wiring changes. The external mounting simplifies field installs, reduces labor, and aligns with typical Eaton SPC series mounting footprints, helping minimize downtime during upgrades and ensuring clean wiring paths.
This unit provides 200 kAIC interrupt rating and a 488 V voltage rating, suitable for single-phase systems. It is UL 1449 listed with UL1283 5th Edition filtering for noise suppression. The enclosure is NEMA 4X, offering environmental protection. These specs combine to protect critical loads, minimize voltage transients, and support reliable automation performance.
Yes. The NEMA 4X enclosure protects against moisture, dust, and cleaning processes, enabling installation in outdoor substations, loading docks, and wash-down areas. The rugged build maintains performance under harsh conditions, while the UL listings ensure compliance with safety standards. For panel builders, this reduces enclosure customization and accelerates deployment.
The device is UL 1449 listed for surge protection and UL1283 5th Edition filtered, providing compliance for EMI/RFI suppression. These certifications support regulatory requirements for many industrial facilities and OEMs. Coupled with a 10-year warranty, they offer assurance during procurement, installation, and long-term maintenance cycles.
By reducing transient-related outages and protecting downstream equipment such as PLCs and drives, the unit lowers maintenance costs and extends component life. The 10-year warranty further reduces ownership risk, while its straightforward external mounting shortens installation time. Together these factors translate into lower total cost of ownership and improved facility uptime.
