80 kAIC surge capability delivers fast, robust clamping of transients, reducing downstream damage and unplanned downtime. This directly lowers maintenance costs and extends equipment life for motor drives, programmable logic controllers, and automation panels across the plant. The device supports 480V delta systems (3W+G) with 640 L-G and 640 L-L operating voltages, providing reliable protection for both line-to-ground and line-to-line disturbances in mixed-phase environments and enabling safer startup sequences in pump, compressor, and conveyor applications. Enclosed in a rugged NEMA 4X housing, it withstands dust, moisture, and washdown, ensuring dependable performance in outdoor substations, exterior control cabinets, and harsh factory floors. External side mounting offers flexible installation options, reducing retrofit time and minimizing facility downtime during upgrades. A standard feature package and surge counter simplify monitoring, fault analysis, and compliance reporting, improving maintenance planning and asset management. UL 1449 listing and a 15-year warranty deliver long-term safety assurance and lower total cost of ownership, aligning with regulated facilities and critical infrastructure programs. Compatibility with Eaton’s SPD series ecosystem enables seamless integration with existing protection strategies and service documentation, supporting lifecycle planning for electrical protection across plant networks.

FAQs
SPD080480D3N uses external side mounting, enabling sidemount installation alongside existing electrical distribution equipment. This approach simplifies retrofits to outdoor panels or exterior panels, reduces wiring runs, and minimizes downtime during upgrades. For reference, installation manuals IM01005031E provide step-by-step guidance to ensure safe, code-compliant mounting in industrial environments.
The device offers an 80 kAIC interrupt rating at 480V delta (3W+G), delivering rapid surge clamping to protect downstream components. This performance translates to lower transient energy reaching motor drives, PLCs, and control cabinets, reducing insulation stress, preventing nuisance tripping, and supporting continuous operation in manufacturing lines and process equipment.
SPD080480D3N is designed for external sidemount installation, enabling straightforward integration with existing distribution gear and outdoor panels. The product line provides sidemount variants and installation resources to support rapid, low-downtime retrofits in new or upgraded facilities.
The SPD series includes a standard feature package and surge counter for real-time monitoring and fault analysis. This enables maintenance teams to track surge events, verify protection effectiveness, and schedule replacements before failures occur. Coupled with a 15-year warranty, these features improve reliability planning and long-term asset management.
By limiting damaging transient energy and extending equipment life, the SPD080480D3N lowers downtime costs, reduces maintenance intervals, and protects critical loads like motors and PLCs. The 15-year warranty and UL 1449 listing bolster compliance and risk management, delivering a predictable total cost of ownership and faster return on investment for industrial facilities.
