Eaton SPD080240S4N Surge Protection Device - UL 1449

Manufacturer
Eaton
Part number
SPD080240S4N

Quick Summary

The SPD080240S4N surge protection device helps protect electrical systems from transient surges in commercial and industrial panels. Unprotected equipment can suffer downtime, unexpected maintenance, and costly damage from sudden voltage spikes. UL 1449 listing and a rugged NEMA 4 enclosure ensure reliable performance in harsh environments. Designed for 120/240V split-phase systems, the SPD integrates with Eaton's Power Xpert SPD family to enable scalable, compliant protection. For procurement and maintenance teams, this translates to reduced downtime, easier installation, and predictable lifecycle costs. The 80 kA per phase rating protects both line and neutral conductors in multi-line feeders, delivering consistent performance across shared loads.

Feature: 80 kA per phase surge protection that protects both line and neutral conductors in complex multi-line feeders common in sensitive manufacturing environments. Impact: This minimizes equipment damage from lightning and switching transients, reducing downtime and maintenance costs and reduces warranty claims and service visits in mission-critical lines. Application: Suitable for motor controls, drives, and distribution panels in manufacturing lines and data centers, providing robust protection where uptime matters. Feature: 120/240V split-phase input designed for widespread industrial power architectures. Impact: Aligns with common industrial power architectures, simplifying panel design and reducing the need for extra transformers or adapters and improving project economics. Application: Ideal for commercial and industrial facilities with shared 120/240V supplies and mixed equipment in one enclosure, which reduces wiring complexity. Feature: UL 1449 listing for surge protection reliability and safety priority across industrial facilities and critical processes. Impact: Ensures safety compliance, audits, and insurer confidence, accelerating approvals and coverage. Application: Deploy in facilities requiring robust regulatory adherence to protection performance and traceable testing. Feature: NEMA 4 enclosure compatibility designed to withstand rain, wind, dust and chemicals typical in challenging environments, including outdoor service areas. Impact: Enables operation in outdoor, damp, or dusty environments without extra housing. Application: Outdoor electrical rooms, loading docks, and exposed areas. Feature: Power Xpert SPD ecosystem integration for centralized monitoring, reporting and maintenance scheduling. Impact: Streamlines procurement, maintenance, and monitoring with a single vendor ecosystem, reducing spare parts and training needs. Application: Eaton protection strategy across sites and multiple panels, enabling centralized protection management. Feature: Robust enclosure with standard mounting footprint designed for mid-size panels. Impact: Simplifies field installation and panel integration with minimal space usage, reducing install time. Application: Retrofit projects and new builds in mid-size panels using SPD series alongside existing protection devices, enabling scalable deployment.
