80 kAIC interrupt rating provides robust surge handling, reducing nuisance trips and protecting critical loads such as PLCs and motor drives; this translates to lower maintenance costs and less unplanned downtime in manufacturing cells and service bays. The 120/240 V voltage rating makes the unit ideal for common facility feeders, enabling rapid deployment without custom transformers or reconfiguration. A NEMA 4X stainless steel enclosure delivers corrosion resistance and washdown suitability, supporting outdoor or harsh indoor environments and minimizing enclosure-related failures. External side mounting streamlines installation alongside distribution equipment, saving footprint and enabling quick service access for field technicians. The built-in surge counter and included standard feature package simplify commissioning, enable easy monitoring for compliance, and support traceability during audits. A 15-year warranty further reduces lifecycle risk, while UL 1449 certification reinforces meeting regulatory standards, enhancing customer confidence for ongoing protection of critical infrastructure. Overall, the SPD080240S3Q aligns with industry best practices for surge suppression, delivering measurable gains in reliability, energy protection, and total cost of ownership in industrial automation settings.

FAQs
The SPD080240S3Q is designed for 120/240 V systems and can be mounted externally to electrical distribution equipment. Its sidemount installation and NEMA 4X stainless enclosure make it suitable for industrial panels, outdoor enclosures, and washdown environments while protecting critical loads like PLCs, drives, and control circuits.
An 80 kAIC interrupt rating means the device can safely absorb and divert high-energy surge events without failing or allowing damaging voltages to reach protected equipment. This reduces the risk of component damage, extends the life of connected loads, and lowers the likelihood of costly downtime after transient events.
The SPD080240S3Q carries UL 1449 safety certification and includes a 15-year warranty. The unit’s NEMA 4X stainless steel enclosure provides rugged protection in harsh environments, supporting reliable operation in industrial applications and helping with compliance during audits.
External sidemount mounting simplifies integration beside distribution equipment and reduces footprint in crowded electrical rooms. Follow the included installation manual, ensure proper clearance for heat dissipation, and verify the surge counter is accessible for periodic verification and compliance reporting.
Investing in SPD080240S3Q helps minimize unplanned outages, protects critical loads, and extends component life, leading to reduced downtime, lower maintenance costs, and improved uptime for production lines. The combination of a robust 80 kAIC rating, UL 1449 compliance, and a long warranty supports a favorable total cost of ownership over the system’s lifecycle.
