FAQs
Installation begins with verifying system voltage and ensuring the panel is de-energized. Mount the SPD internally as designed, connect the L-N, L-G, and N-G terminals per the manufacturer’s wiring diagram, and integrate the unit with the switchgear remote display. The device supports 50/60 Hz operation, features a Form C relay, and includes an audible alarm for fault indication to streamline commissioning and ongoing monitoring.
Key specifications include an 80 kA per phase surge current rating, 200 kA short-circuit rating, nominal discharge current of 20 kA, and operating voltages of 320 V L-N/L-G/N-G with 640 V L-L, on a 277/480 V wye system. It supports 50/60 Hz operation and provides EMI/RFI filtering up to 50 dB, helping protect PLCs, drives, and controls from transients.
Yes. The device is designed for industrial environments, meets IBC 2006, CBC 2007, and UBC Zone 4 guidelines, and carries UL 1449 UL Listed certification. With a -40 to 50 °C operating range and a robust mounting approach, it’s well-suited for uptime-critical facilities that demand reliable surge protection and regulatory alignment.
The SPD080480Y1B carries UL 1449 listing and UL Listed certification, confirming compliance with recognized safety standards. Eaton backs the product with a 15-year warranty, which reduces lifecycle risk and supports long-term maintenance planning for mission-critical equipment in industrial settings.
The device reduces downtime and maintenance costs by suppressing transients that can cause equipment faults. Features such as audible alarms, Form C signaling, EMI/RFI filtering, and remote-display compatibility enable faster fault detection and easier predictive maintenance. A long 15-year warranty further lowers total cost of ownership for asset-intensive facilities.
