Surge current
80 kA per phase
80 kA per phase surge current provides a robust first line of defense against lightning and switching transients. The business impact is clear: fewer failed components, lower repair costs, and reduced downtime in critical power paths. This capability is particularly valuable in switchboards, busways, and panel boards that feed sensitive equipment and motor drives. Voltage rating of 230/400 V Wye (4W+G) ensures compatibility with common building and industrial power distributions. The business impact is straightforward: standardized integration with existing electrical systems reduces wiring complexity and speeds commissioning. This makes it easier for procurement and maintenance teams to specify a single device across multiple zones and equipment categories. UL 1449 certification provides recognized safety and performance validation for surge protection devices. The business impact is compliance assurance and safer operation, reducing the risk of regulatory or insurance issues during audits. This model's UL listing supports acceptance in switchgear assemblies, panels, and power distribution equipment. Power Xpert SPD compatibility enables extended protection architecture within Eaton’s protection ecosystem, simplifying upgrades and maintenance. Used with Switchboard, busways, and panel boards (PRL1a, 2a, 3a, 3e, 4), it offers a cohesive protection strategy across multiple feeders and compartments. Physical form factor and mounting footprint—3.48 in depth, 12.05 in height, 7.47 in width, 6.8 lb weight—facilitates straightforward installation, clearances, and serviceability in crowded control rooms and panel assemblies. This design also supports scalable deployments where multiple protection devices are required across distributed power paths. The inclusion of Power Xpert SPD as an accessories option ensures a complete protection solution, allowing engineers to align with Eaton’s integrated surge protection strategy and future-proof critical infrastructure.
