High-energy surge protection is critical in modern plants, and the SPD080240S3O delivers an 80 kAIC interrupt rating to absorb large transient events without compromising downstream circuitry. In practice, this reduces unexpected equipment faults, data loss, and maintenance costs across drives, PLCs, and control panels in manufacturing, processing, and distribution environments. The device supports 120/240 V single-phase systems with operating voltages of 150 L-N, 150 L-G, 150 N-G, and 300 L-L, enabling straightforward integration with common panel and motor control layouts. This wide compatibility minimizes rework during upgrades and simplifies spares planning, helping maintenance teams keep downtime to a minimum. Housed in a NEMA 4X enclosure, the SPD080240S3O is designed for outdoor use, washdown areas, and challenging environments. The external side mounting option further simplifies installation alongside existing electrical distribution equipment, reducing cabinet crowding and installation time. Standard feature package includes a surge counter to monitor events and support preventive maintenance scheduling. Coupled with a 15-year warranty and UL 1449 certification, this product offers predictable performance and lower total cost of ownership. Its compact footprint—9.5 in length, 5.4 in width, and 3.45 in height—combined with roughly 3.5 lb weight, enables straightforward integration in crowded electrical rooms and on equipment enclosures. The design supports external side mounting with clear installation instructions, helping technicians commission the system quickly and accurately. From a compliance and reliability standpoint, the SPD series aligns with industry standards while delivering robust protection against transients across L-N, L-G, N-G, and L-L configurations. This makes it suitable for industrial facilities, data centers, and OEMs seeking dependable surge protection with easy maintenance and traceable performance data.
