Eaton SPD080400Y2C Surge Protection Device - UL Listed

The SPD080400Y2C delivers 80 kA per phase surge capacity, providing robust protection for sensitive loads during transient events. This high interrupt capability reduces the risk of equipment damage and unplanned downtime, safeguarding downstream drives, PLCs, instrumentation, and motors. It is designed for use with switchboards, busways, and panelboards in industrial facilities and data centers, supporting clean power delivery across distributions. You gain longer asset life and more predictable maintenance windows when transients are consistently clamped by the device. With a nominal discharge current of 20 kA and a short-circuit rating of 200 kAIC, the SPD handles disturbances and fault-level surges without compromising supply continuity. The 400Y/230V (4W+G) rating, combined with 320 L-N, 320 L-G, and 320 N-G operating voltages and 640 L-L configurations, ensures compatibility with common European and North American 3-phase systems. This alignment to typical OEM panels and busway configurations simplifies procurement and reduces the risk of mismatched protection. EMI/RFI filtering provides up to 50 dB of attenuation from 10 kHz to 100 MHz, resulting in cleaner control signals, reduced sensor noise, and fewer nuisance trips. The device helps maintain precise control in automation networks and instrumentation, supporting reliable PLC operation in harsh industrial environments. This level of filtering is particularly valuable in manufacturing lines with high-frequency switching equipment. Audible alarm with a silence button plus a Form C relay contact adds immediate visibility and remote signaling options for maintenance and safety procedures. Internal integrated mounting simplifies installation and reduces enclosure footprint, easing retrofit projects and new builds alike. These features shorten commissioning times and enable quick fault diagnosis during routine tests. Physical attributes include 9.5 in depth, 5.4 in width, 3.45 in height, and a weight of about 3.5 lb, making it compact for crowded panels. The device is designed for internal mounting and is compatible with multiple Eaton configurations (PRL1a, 2a, 3a, 3e, 4) and panelboard assemblies from switchgear vendors. A 15-year warranty provides long-term protection and lowers total cost of ownership in regulated facilities. UL 1449 certification and UL Listed status confirm compliance with essential safety and performance criteria for surge protection devices. The combination of high protection margins and long-term reliability supports compliance programs and reduces regulatory risk.
