80 kA per phase surge capability provides headroom for large surges from switching events, lightning, and utility disturbances, protecting downstream equipment and sensors. The SPD080480D2A reduces conductor wear on transformers and breakers, lowering unplanned downtime and maintenance costs across manufacturing lines. It is optimized for 480 V delta systems in Direct bus mounted panelboards (PRL1a, 2a, 3a, 3e), where fast response and compact form factor matter for crowded electrical rooms. With 640 V L-G and 640 V L-L MCOV ratings, the device accommodates full operating ranges while EMI/RFI filtering provides up to 50 dB of noise attenuation from 10 kHz to 100 MHz. An audible alarm with a silence button enables quick on-site fault confirmation and Form C relay contact supports remote monitoring and integration with plant SCADA systems. Internal integrated mounting and direct bus compatibility reduce installation complexity, wiring errors, and required hardware. Compatibility with PRL panels minimizes space requirements and streamlines commissioning, while standard features such as the surge counter and rest button improve maintenance visibility and compliance reporting. Reliability is reinforced by a 15-year warranty and UL 1449 Listed certification, giving procurement teams confidence for mission-critical loads. The unit operates from -40 to 50 C, supports a 200 kA short-circuit rating, and withstands demanding industrial environments, helping facilities meet safety and reliability targets without over-design. Overall, SPD080480D2A combines robust surge protection with ease of installation, long-term service, and regulatory compliance, making it suitable for electrical protection and circuit control needs in manufacturing, data centers, and process industries.

FAQs
Installation is simplified by its internal integrated mounting and direct bus mounting design. Mounting directly onto PRL series panelboards reduces wiring complexity and enclosure depth. Follow the included specifications to ensure proper clearances, connect to the 480 V delta system with the correct line and ground configuration, and commission using the built-in surge counter for ongoing protection visibility.
Key specs include 80 kA per phase surge current, 480 V delta (3W+G) voltage rating, 640 V L-G and 640 V L-L MCOV, 20 kA nominal discharge current, 200 kA short-circuit rating, and a frequency rating of 50/60 Hz. It operates from -40 to 50 C and carries a 15-year warranty with UL 1449 Listed certification.
Yes. The device is explicitly designed for 480 V delta (3W+G) systems with direct bus mounted panelboards and supports L-G and L-L transient protection. Its high surge capability, MCOV ratings, and compatibility with PRL series panels make it a strong choice for industrial facilities seeking reliable protection in compact configurations.
SPD080480D2A carries UL 1449 Listed certification, ensuring compliance with recognized safety standards. It also aligns with IBC 2006, CBC 2007, and UBC Zone 4 guidelines, enabling safer installation, reduced risk of electrical faults, and easier regulatory approval for industrial projects and data centers.
The device reduces downtime by quickly clamping transients and signaling faults via an audible alarm and Form C relay. The 15-year warranty and robust short-circuit rating lower lifecycle costs, while EMI/RFI filtering improves signal integrity for controllers and sensors, delivering measurable uptime gains and lower maintenance costs over the equipment’s service life.
