The SPD080400Y2A delivers 80 kA per phase surge current with a 400Y/230V rating, plus operating voltages of 320 L-N, 320 L-G, and 640 L-L, to shield sensitive devices such as PLCs, drives, and sensors from damaging transient spikes. This protection reduces unplanned downtime, extends equipment life, and supports more reliable automation in process and manufacturing environments. The internal integrated mounting simplifies installation by minimizing panel depth and wiring complexity, enabling faster deployments and reducing field errors. EMI/RFI filtering provides up to 50 dB of noise attenuation from 10 kHz to 100 MHz, yielding cleaner control signals and more accurate sensor readings in automated lines. An audible alarm with silence button, Form C relay contact, and a surge counter with rest button offer immediate fault visibility and easier maintenance planning for operations teams. Compliance with IBC 2006, CBC2007, UBC Zone 4 and UL 1449 safety standards ensures code-friendly installations with long-term reliability, supported by a 15-year warranty. Direct bus mounting compatibility with PRL panels (PRL1a, 2a, 3a, 3e) simplifies procurement and reduces project risk across new builds and retrofits in demanding industrial facilities.

FAQs
SPD080400Y2A is designed for Direct bus mounted panelboards and is compatible with PRL series panels (PRL1a, 2a, 3a, 3e). Use the internal integrated mounting to minimize panel depth and simplify wiring. Follow the included specification sheet to confirm clearance, terminal accommodations, and proper bus connections for a code-compliant and safe installation.
Key specs include 80 kA per phase surge current, 200 kA short-circuit rating, 400Y/230V (4W+G) voltage rating, operating voltages of 320 L-N, 320 L-G, 320 N-G and 640 L-L, 50/60 Hz operation, and EMI/RFI filtering up to 50 dB. These figures indicate strong transient protection for critical industrial loads such as PLCs, drives, and sensors.
Yes. The device provides substantial transient protection (80 kA per phase) and EMI/RFI filtering (up to 50 dB), which reduces electrical noise that can affect PLC inputs, drives, and sensors. Its compatibility with direct bus panel installations enables reliable protection across automated production lines and lightweight control cabinets.
SPD080400Y2A is UL 1449 listed, meeting recognized UL safety standards for surge protection devices. It carries a 15-year warranty, and it is designed to conform with IBC 2006, CBC2007, and UBC Zone 4 requirements, supporting durable, code-compliant installations in industrial facilities.
The device reduces downtime from transient events, extends the life of protected equipment, and provides intuitive maintenance signals via an audible alarm, surge counter, and Form C relay. These features enable proactive maintenance planning and faster fault resolution, resulting in lower total cost of ownership for mission-critical automation systems.
