Eaton’s SPD Series (Sidemount Versions) Data Sheet
Paragraph 1: Feature: 80 kAIC interrupt rating provides robust surge handling for high-energy transients, including lightning and switching events common in manufacturing environments. Impact: This protects downstream equipment, lowers repair costs, and reduces downtime by preventing drive and transformer damage during spikes. Application: Ideal for motor drives, MCCs, PLCs, and distribution panels across industrial facilities and data centers. Paragraph 2: Feature: 480V delta (3W+G) voltage rating aligns with typical plant power architectures for predictable surge performance across circuits. Impact: Maintains clamp performance at L-G and L-L, preventing control-loop disturbances and nuisance trips during spikes. Application: Suitable for feeders, switchgear, and panelboards in lines, process plants, and distribution rooms. Paragraph 3: Feature: NEMA 1 enclosure with internal disconnect delivers rugged indoor protection and an integrated safety disconnect for quick isolation. Impact: Enhances safety, reduces dust ingress, and streamlines maintenance with accessible service points. Application: Works well in standard indoor panels where weatherproofing isn’t required. Paragraph 4: Feature: External side mounting supports flexible installation alongside existing gear without major cabinet rearrangement or extended wiring runs. Impact: Speeds retrofits, minimizes production downtime during upgrades, and enables scalable protection as facilities expand. Application: Well-suited for sidemount configurations on shared buses, compact control cabinets, and modular electrical rooms. Paragraph 5: Feature: 15-year warranty combined with UL 1449 certification signals long-term reliability and safety compliance across operating conditions. Impact: Reduces lifecycle costs, simplifies procurement decisions, and strengthens risk management by relying on a trusted, standards-based protection device. Application: Compatible with Eaton SPD deployments in OEM builds and aftermarket upgrades for 480V distribution networks across multiple industries.
