80 kA per phase surge protection provides a robust shield against transient spikes. This high level of protection minimizes equipment damage and reduces unplanned downtime, delivering tangible reliability for critical loads in modern factories. The SPD080480D2C is well suited for 480 V delta systems in switchboards, busways, and panelboards, enabling seamless integration into existing electrical architectures. EMI/RFI filtering of up to 50 dB from 10 kHz to 100 MHz improves signal integrity on control circuits and reduces radio interference, helping machines operate with fewer false trips. An audible alarm with a silence button, a Form C relay contact, and a surge counter with a rest button provide clear, auditable protection status and quick diagnostics, which lowers maintenance overhead. The device offers 20 kA nominal discharge current and 200 kAIC short-circuit rating, meaning repeated surges are better absorbed without compromising downstream equipment. It ships in a compact footprint with internal integrated mounting, simplifying installation and reducing labor time on site. Compatibility and compliance are enhanced by the standard feature package and the unit’s performance across IBC 2006, CBC 2007, and UBC Zone 4 environments. With a 15-year warranty, 640 L-G and 640 L-L MCOV, and a 9.5 in × 5.4 in × 3.45 in form factor, it provides scalable protection for panelboards and switchgear.

FAQs
When wiring SPD080480D2C into a 480V delta configuration, ensure proper clearance and accessibility for maintenance, verify busway or panelboard compatibility (PRL1a–4), and follow Eaton wiring diagrams. The unit’s internal mounting simplifies mounting within standard enclosures, reducing field labor. Verify ambient temperature range of -40 to 50 °C for reliable operation and ensure the device is the first line of defense at the equipment inlet to maximize surge protection effectiveness.
SPD080480D2C provides 80 kA per phase surge capability with a 200 kAIC short-circuit rating and 20 kA nominal discharge current. This combination delivers strong transient suppression, protecting downstream equipment and reducing the risk of cascading faults. The 50/60 Hz frequency rating and 640 V MCOV (L-G and L-L) support reliable operation in typical industrial power networks, including 480V delta systems.
Yes. The SPD080480D2C is designed for use with switchboards, busways, and panelboards (PRL1a, 2a, 3a, 3e, 4). Its internal integrated mounting and compact form factor simplify installation in crowded electrical rooms. With UL 1449 listed certification and a 15-year warranty, it provides long-term protection for critical loads while meeting stringent industrial reliability requirements.
The SPD080480D2C carries UL 1449 and UL Listed certifications, signaling compliance with recognized safety standards for surge protection devices. These certifications align with industry best practices for electrical protection, contributing to safer installations, reduced risk of equipment damage, and easier regulatory acceptance in manufacturing and utility environments.
The device’s 15-year warranty, high surge ratings, and integrated features (audible alarm, surge counter, Form C relay) reduce maintenance intervals and unplanned outages, lowering total cost of ownership. EMI/RFI filtering improves control reliability, potentially reducing false trips. While initial installation costs are offset by longer equipment life and fewer outage-related losses, plan for periodic inspection of connections and ensuring enclosure integrity in harsh plant environments.
