FAQs
SPD080240S3M is designed for external side mounting within indoor enclosures, typically in NEMA 1-rated cabinets. When planning installation, verify panel clearance for 9.5 in length and 5.4 in width, ensure proper mounting hardware, and confirm that the internal disconnect option is included if your local code requires it. Wire routing should minimize EMI exposure and maintain accessible surge counter visibility for maintenance.
The device supports 120/240 V split single-phase systems and offers an 80 kAIC interrupt rating, providing strong transient protection for critical loads. Its 150 L-N, 150 L-G, 150 N-G, and 300 L-L operating voltages extend coverage across typical line-to-neutral, line-to-ground, and line-to-line configurations, making it suitable for varied panel architectures and load centers.
Yes. SPD080240S3M is designed for external side mounting in an indoor environment and comes in a NEMA 1 enclosure with an optional internal disconnect. This combination simplifies retrofit and new-install projects by enabling flexible placement in standard control cabinets while maintaining safe access and protection visibility.
SPD080240S3M carries UL 1449 certification, confirming compliance with industry safety and performance standards for surge protection devices. While CE or IP ratings are not listed for this SKU, the UL 1449 certification and NEMA 1 enclosure provide a clear baseline for safety and indoor protection in North American applications.
The SPD080240S3M reduces maintenance costs by mitigating transient damage to vital equipment, lowering unplanned downtime, and enabling reliable operation of power distribution. The surge counter supports proactive maintenance planning and warranty validation, while the 15-year warranty consolidates supplier support and total cost of ownership benefits for mission-critical lines.
