FAQs
Install SPD080240S2O using its external side mounting to avoid crowding inside the panel. Ensure clearance for wiring, connect L-N, L-G, and N-G terminals per the 120/240 V split-phase scheme, and secure the enclosure with the provided mounting hardware. Verify UL 1449 compliance after installation and document the surge protection device in your panel schedule.
SPD080240S2O offers an 80 kAIC interrupt rating for high-energy surge events and supports 120/240 V operation. It provides 150 V line-to-neutral, 150 V line-to-ground, 150 V neutral-to-ground, and 300 V line-to-line operating voltages, with a NEMA 4X enclosure and external side mounting. The unit is UL 1449 listed and backed by a 15-year warranty.
Yes. The SPD080240S2O is housed in a NEMA 4X enclosure, which is designed for outdoor use and harsh environments. This rating helps protect against dust, water spray, and corrosion in outdoor installations or washdown areas, making it a reliable choice for outdoor panels, factories, and process facilities.
The SPD080240S2O is UL 1449 listed, confirming conformance to recognized surge protection standards. This certification supports compliance with electrical codes and enhances safety for mission-critical equipment. The robust enclosure and external mounting further assist with installation quality and long-term reliability in demanding industrial settings.
With an 80 kAIC rating, 15-year warranty, and UL 1449 listing, SPD080240S2O offers low maintenance and predictable service life. ROI comes from reduced downtime, fewer equipment replacements after surge events, and simplified warranty coverage, especially in facilities with frequent transients or mission-critical loads in 120/240 V distributions.
