High-energy protection delivers an 80 kAIC interrupt rating, dramatically reducing the risk of transformer and panel damage during transient events. The business impact is measurable: fewer unscheduled outages and lower repair costs, enabling manufacturers to maintain production targets even during load transients. This is ideal for 120/240 V single-phase power architectures in manufacturing lines and commercial facilities.\n\nCompact compatibility and external side mounting simplify integration into existing electrical distribution equipment. The external mounting reduces cabinet intrusion and accelerates field upgrades, translating into faster commissioning and reduced labor costs. Use in control panels, switchgear, and electrical distribution equipment that require reliable sidemounted protection.\n\nVoltage rating covers 120/240 V with operating voltages 150 L-N, 150 L-G, 150 N-G, and 300 L-L, ensuring protection across single-phase configurations. This versatility supports both new installations and retrofit projects where distribution schemes vary.\n\nEnclosure and installation convenience: NEMA 1 flush enclosure and external side mounting simplify indoor installation and panel integration. The standard feature package ensures you have the essential protective functions included out of the box.\n\nWarranty and documentation support lifecycle planning: a 15-year warranty and UL 1449-listed performance accompany the standard feature package, while installation manuals and datasheets streamline compliance and commissioning.

FAQs
SPD080240S2L is designed for external side mounting to simplify retrofit and new installations. Begin by selecting a suitable panel opening that accommodates the 9.5 in depth and 5.4 in width. Mount the unit on the exterior side of the distribution equipment per Eaton’s IM01005031E installation manual, connect L-N, L-G, and N-G paths, and verify 120/240 V operation. Ensure the NEMA 1 flush enclosure remains accessible for servicing and that wiring follows local electrical codes. This approach minimizes cabinet intrusion and speeds commissioning while maintaining compliance with UL 1449 standards.
Yes. SPD080240S2L is specified for 120/240 V split single-phase systems and supports external side mounting to distribution equipment. The device provides 80 kAIC surge capacity and configurations for 150 L-N, 150 L-G, 150 N-G, and 300 L-L voltages, making it suitable for most 120/240 V control panels and power distribution setups. Always confirm panel compatibility with the installation manual and local codes prior to procurement.
Key specifications include an 80 kAIC interrupt rating, 120/240 V voltage rating, and operating voltages of 150 L-N, 150 L-G, 150 N-G, and 300 L-L. The device is UL 1449 listed and designed for external side mounting in a NEMA 1 enclosure. These attributes deliver reliable transient protection, minimize equipment damage risk, and support predictable maintenance for industrial electrical systems.
SPD080240S2L is UL 1449 listed, confirming it meets recognized performance and safety criteria for surge protection devices. This certification provides confidence in surge mitigation performance, reduces compliance risk during audits, and supports durable operation in industrial environments. Combining UL 1449 with a NEMA 1 enclosure ensures suitability for indoor control panels and distribution equipment.
The SPD080240S2L is backed by a 15-year warranty, reflecting Eaton’s commitment to long-term reliability. Maintenance requirements are minimal; rely on the standard feature package, installation manual IM01005031E, and the datasheet TD01005025E for routine checks. In practice, this reduces total cost of ownership by limiting replacements after surge events and simplifying documentation for compliance audits.
