Eaton SPD080240S4A Surge Protection Device - UL 1449
Part Number: SPD080240S4A
Quick Summary
The Eaton SPD080240S4A is a surge protection device designed to safeguard 120/240V split-phase electrical panels in commercial and light-industrial environments. Engineers often struggle with nuisance trips, costly equipment damage from transients, and installation complexity when integrating protection directly into bus-mounted panels. UL 1449 certification ensures robust overvoltage protection, while compatibility with Power Xpert SPD accessories supports scalable, field-verified protection schemes. Using this device with direct bus mounted panels (PRL1a, 2a, 3a, 3e) reduces wiring runs and speeds commissioning, delivering reliability and lower lifecycle costs. With a compact footprint and a clear path to compliance, it enables proactive protection without compromising space, supporting uptime for mission-critical loads.
