Surge current
80 kA per phase
80 kA per phase surge current delivers high-energy protection that minimizes insulation wear and unplanned outages. This translates to fewer repairs and lower maintenance costs for motor drives and critical loads. It’s particularly effective in machine tools, packaging lines, and other 480V delta systems where surge energy can be severe. Voltage rating compatible with 480V delta three‑phase networks ensures protection is installed exactly where it’s needed. Business impact: reduces the risk of misapplied protection and simplifies coordination with upstream devices. Application: suitable for panelboards and switchgear in industrial facilities handling heavy loads. UL 1449 certification provides validated safety and performance, helping with regulatory compliance and supplier qualification. Business impact: supports QA processes and audit readiness. Application: ideal for facilities with strict safety policies and for inclusion in customer RFPs. Rugged NEMA 4 enclosure compatibility supports installation in dusty, wet, and harsh environments, reducing the need for enclosure upgrades. Business impact: lowers retrofit costs and accelerates field deployment. Application: plant floors, outdoor switchgear, and wet environments where protection must endure challenging conditions. Power Xpert SPD compatibility enables centralized protection and streamlined monitoring across multiple panels. Business impact: improves reliability, simplifies maintenance planning, and supports scalable protection architectures. Application: integrated into Eaton’s protection ecosystem for mid-to-large facilities. Compact form factor and detailed dimensions (3.48 in depth, 7.47 in width, 12.05 in height) with a 6.8 lb weight simplify retrofit and mounting in crowded panels. Business impact: faster installations, reduced labor costs, and easier future upgrades. Application: retrofit projects, new builds, and upgrade programs across industrial plants.
