FAQs
SPD080400Y3N uses an external sidemount mounting method, allowing installation outside the main electrical distribution equipment. This minimizes intrusion into crowded panels, simplifies retrofits, and streamlines field service since the device can be accessed without disassembling primary enclosures. It’s particularly advantageous for retrofits on legacy gear or when space inside panels is limited.
The device supports an 80 kAIC interrupt rating and a voltage rating of 230/400V in a 4W+G configuration. This means it can absorb high-energy transients while protecting phase-to-neutral, phase-to-ground, neutral-to-ground, and line-to-line paths. It’s well suited for three-phase systems common in manufacturing, HVAC, and distributed control environments.
Yes. The unit is housed in a NEMA 4X enclosure, providing protection against corrosion, dust, and water ingress in outdoor or harsh indoor locations. It carries UL 1449 certification for surge protection, which supports compliance objectives and procurement standards for regulated power protection in industrial settings.
Industries with rigorous uptime requirements—such as data centers, manufacturing automation, and critical process control—benefit from SPD080400Y3N. Its sidemount design, rugged enclosure, and full protection coverage (L-N, L-G, N-G, L-L) make it ideal for external distribution panels, outdoor substations, and any environment where panel space and protection reliability are key concerns.
Leverage the built-in surge counter and the 15-year warranty to optimize maintenance schedules. Regular inspection of the surge counter, enclosure integrity, and mounting hardware helps ensure ongoing protection. The device’s robust ratings support predictable total cost of ownership by reducing unplanned outages and extending equipment life.
