High surge capability → The SPD080480Y1A delivers up to 80 kA per phase with a 200 kAIC short‑circuit rating, providing rapid energy absorption and minimizing voltage stress on protected loads. This reduces unplanned outages and extends the life of drives, PLCs, and motor controllers in demanding manufacturing environments. Application: ideal for 277/480 V wye systems used with Direct bus mounted panelboards (PRL1a, 2a, 3a, 3e). Integrated mounting and panel compatibility → Internal integrated mounting simplifies installation and minimizes wiring complexity, reducing field labor and miswiring risk during retrofit or new builds. Application: supports direct bus mounted panelboards PRL series, enabling compact, tidy protection arrays in control panels across process and factory floors. EMI/RFI filtering and noise suppression → EMI/RFI filtering provides up to 50 dB attenuation from 10 kHz to 100 MHz, improving drive efficiency and PLC stability by reducing electrical noise. Application: beneficial in plants with VFDs, sensors, and automation equipment that create high EMI/RFI levels. Monitoring, alarms, and fault reporting → Audible alarm with silence button, Form C relay contact, and a surge counter with rest button enable proactive maintenance and compliance reporting. Application: supports protection programs requiring real-time status and auditable event history. Reliability and environmental readiness → 15‑year warranty and UL 1449 listing provide long-term safety and reliability, with operating temperature range -40 to 50 °C and 50/60 Hz frequency operation. Application: ideal for direct bus panel installations in manufacturing, energy-intensive facilities, and process industries.
