Eaton SPD080480Y1K Surge Protection Device - UL 1449

80 kAIC interrupt rating delivers robust transient suppression, reducing the risk of downstream equipment damage during severe surges and preventing cascade failures in critical lines. This translates into fewer fuse trips, less maintenance, and higher line reliability for critical loads such as PLCs, drives, and sensors, even during industrial motor starts. Use it in main distribution panels and machine control cabinets where motor starts, switching transients, and interconnected loads create the most challenging surge environments. 277/480V wye operation supports a broad mix of equipment without field modifications, enabling one protective solution across multiple lines. The device protects 320 L-N, 320 L-G, 320 N-G and 640 L-L, covering feeder and circuit arrangements found in modern facilities and helping avoid under- or over-protection scenarios. This broad compatibility minimizes design changes and speeds deployment in new builds or retrofits, reducing engineering time and procurement risk. External side mounting in a NEMA 1 enclosure streamlines installation in existing equipment and inside control rooms, cabinets, or switchgear sections. The compact footprint and clear labeling reduce wiring complexity and commissioning time, while retaining accessibility for future servicing and field checks. This configuration is especially valuable for OEMs upgrading legacy panels or adding protection in tight spaces where space and serviceability are critical. Fifteen-year warranty paired with UL 1449 certification supports lifecycle cost management and regulatory compliance, delivering predictable performance and reduced risk of warranty claims. The basic feature package simplifies procurement, lowers upfront spend, and ensures a standard interface with other SPD series products for streamlined spare parts and maintenance. Integrating this device across plant-wide installations yields consistent protection and easier asset management. Industry context confirms surge protection as a cornerstone of reliability for manufacturing lines, data centers, and distribution networks. With SPD080480Y1K, engineers gain a trusted, standards-driven solution that aligns with common safety, EMI/EMC, and protection targets while providing clear installation procedures and service-life visibility. This translates to improved uptime, lower total cost of ownership, and better risk management across critical electrical infrastructure.
