High surge current capability delivers robust protection with 80 kA per phase, reducing insulation stress on feeders and downstream equipment. This translates to longer service intervals, lower maintenance costs, and fewer unplanned outages in manufacturing lines and data-center consolidations. Use with switchboards and panelboards to achieve faster fault isolation and improved uptime, while meeting industry surge performance targets. The device's 20 kA nominal discharge current and 200 kA short-circuit rating provide strong clamping at the point of use, limiting voltage transients and safeguarding sensitive drives and automation controllers during grid disturbances and switching events. Compatibility with 50/60 Hz systems ensures reliable operation across global facilities, supporting standardization of protective schemes.

FAQs
Installers should mount the unit internally within the distribution panel or adjacent to the switchgear as per Eaton's guidance. Connect conductors to the 400Y/230V (4W+G) supply, ensure proper grounding, and verify 50/60 Hz operation. Use the built-in signal outputs, such as the Form C relay, for fault signaling and monitoring via the plant control system. Follow local codes (IBC/CBC/UBC) and verify ambient temperature range from -40 to 50 °C for reliable operation.
Key specs include 80 kA per phase surge current for strong transient suppression, 20 kA nominal discharge current, and a 200 kA short-circuit rating for safety margins during severe events. The device operates at 400Y/230V (4W+G) and supports 50/60 Hz systems, with a wide operating temperature range of -40 to 50 °C, ensuring reliable protection across varied environments.
Yes. The 400Y/230V (4W+G) rating is designed for 4-wire systems, providing protection for line-to-line and line-to-ground configurations. Its EMI/RFI filtering and integrated alarm features enhance protection in industrial settings such as manufacturing lines, control cabinets, and power distribution panels where comprehensive surge protection is required.
SPD080400Y1C is UL 1449 Listed, indicating compliance with established surge protection safety standards. It also aligns with building and electrical codes like IBC 2006, CBC 2007, and UBC Zone 4, and includes EMI/RFI filtering performance. These certifications support safer installations, regulatory compliance, and safer operation in certified facilities.
By reducing the frequency and severity of surge-related equipment failures, the SPD080400Y1C lowers downtime and maintenance costs. Its 15-year warranty enhances lifecycle predictability, while integrated signaling and alarms enable proactive fault management. In facilities with sensitive controllers and drives, this protection translates to higher line uptime, lower spare-part consumption, and improved overall equipment reliability.
