Eaton SPD080240S3P Surge Protection Device - UL 1449
Part Number: SPD080240S3P
Quick Summary
The Eaton SPD080240S3P surge protection device guards 120/240 V systems from transient overvoltages in panelboards. Engineers often battle nuisance outages, equipment damage, and evolving compliance requirements due to voltage spikes. Key certifications include UL 1449 for surge protection reliability and a rugged NEMA 4X stainless steel enclosure for moisture and corrosion resistance. The 15-year warranty and external sidemount design simplify retrofit work, while the 80 kAIC rating and multi‑voltage capability support robust protection across modern electrical distributions. This combination translates to reduced downtime, lower maintenance costs, and a clearer path to ROI for new builds or panel upgrades.

With an 80 kAIC interrupt rating, the SPD080240S3P absorbs surge energy that would otherwise reach downstream equipment, reducing the risk of insulation breakdown and unexpected downtime. This capability translates into lower repair costs and longer service life for motor starters, drives, and PLCs in industrial panels. The unit operates at 120/240 V and supports multiple reference points—150 L-N, 150 L-G, 150 N-G, and 300 L-L—facilitating versatile protection for common U.S. electrical systems, which speeds up design decisions and reduces the need for multiple protection devices in a single installation. A NEMA 4X stainless steel enclosure provides durable protection against moisture and corrosive environments, extending service life in challenging industrial settings. The external sidemount mounting enables installation outside the main electrical distribution equipment, freeing space inside panels and enabling retrofit in existing installations without major disassembly. The standard feature package includes a surge counter, giving operators visibility into surge activity and enabling proactive maintenance and regulatory audits. A 15-year warranty reduces lifecycle costs and simplifies procurement planning, while compatibility with the SPD series sidemount variants supports scalable protection as facilities expand. In practice, users experience fewer unplanned outages, easier compliance reporting, and faster project justifications for protection upgrades.

FAQs
Installation is designed for external sidemount mounting to electrical distribution equipment. Follow the Eaton IM01005031E installation manual for mounting clearance, wiring connections, and grounding requirements. The sidemount option minimizes panel intrusion, simplifies retrofits, and allows quick deployment in existing facilities without major enclosure modifications.
The device provides 120/240 V operation with an 80 kAIC interrupt rating, and supports voltages L-N, L-G, N-G at 150 V and L-L at 300 V. It comes in a NEMA 4X stainless steel enclosure and includes a standard feature package with a surge counter for monitoring surge activity.
Yes. The SPD080240S3P uses a stainless steel enclosure rated for NEMA 4X, offering moisture and corrosion resistance suitable for demanding industrial environments and certain outdoor installations where enclosure integrity is critical.
The unit is UL 1449 certified for surge protection reliability. It also utilizes a NEMA 4X enclosure rating, which provides rugged enclosure protection against environmental factors. A 15-year warranty supports ongoing reliability and service lifecycle.
By limiting surge damage to downstream equipment, it reduces unplanned downtime and maintenance costs. The surge counter enables ongoing monitoring for proactive maintenance, while the 15-year warranty and durable enclosure lower lifecycle costs and extend the interval between component replacements.
