80 kA per phase
80 kA per phase surge current rating is the featured capability. The business impact is dramatically reduced risk of motor and drive damage during transient events, which translates to lower maintenance costs and less unplanned downtime. This is ideal for motor control centers in manufacturing plants where reliability directly affects production throughput. 120/240V split-phase operation aligns with standard North American motor loads, enabling straightforward installation without transformers. The business impact is faster commissioning and fewer field modifications, improving project timelines. Applications include motor control centers and industrial panels across North America. Compact dimensions of 3.48 in depth, 12.05 in height, and 7.47 in width fit within standard electrical cabinets. This reduces enclosure rework and accelerates installation, especially in retrofit projects. Applications span panel builders and field installs in MCCs. UL 1449 certification provides regulatory compliance and reduced project risk for disciplined electrical programs. This is critical for facilities operating under strict safety and reliability requirements. Applications include industrial environments where surge protection is mandated in codes and standards. Power Xpert SPD compatibility and available accessories streamline procurement and shorten commissioning time. The Eaton ecosystem supports scalable protection across panels and drives, reducing integration effort in MCC protection schemes. Applications include large-scale protection deployments in motor control centers. Documentation and datasheets available for clear design verification and procurement alignment. This improves bid accuracy and simplifies spec compliance during project planning and supplier selection.
