FAQs
SPD080480D4K is designed for indoor installation in standard control panels with a 480 Delta (3W+G) configuration. Ensure adequate clearance for heat dissipation, proper mounting within a NEMA 1 enclosure, and correct wiring to all three phases plus ground. Follow manufacturer guidelines to maintain protection performance and maintain UL 1449 compliance.
An 80 kA per phase rating provides a high surge withstand capability, meaning the SPD can absorb larger transient events without failing. This reduces the likelihood of nuisance trips and damage to downstream components such as drives and PLCs, improving system reliability and uptime in environments with frequent transients.
Yes. The SPD080480D4K is specified for Power Xpert SPD integration, streamlining monitoring, coordination, and management of surge protection across multiple devices in a control architecture. This compatibility simplifies configuration and maintenance for OEMs and integrators deploying centralized protection schemes.
UL 1449 certification confirms the device meets recognized surge protection performance standards, including surge current handling, response time, and endurance under transient conditions. This certification supports compliance during audits and assures customers of consistent, standards-based protection for critical automation gear.
By reducing transient damage and downtime, the SPD lowers repair costs and extends the life of drives and PLCs, offering a favorable ROI. Maintenance typically involves periodic inspection of connections, monitoring indicators if available, and timely replacement after a surge event or per OEM guidance to sustain protection levels.
