High-surges protection with 80 kA per phase and 200 kAIC short-circuit rating provides robust defense for critical loads, reducing downtime and maintenance costs in motor drives, feeders, and control panels. This translates to measurable reliability gains and lower risk exposure for mission-critical equipment in switchgear environments. The device supports 277/480V wye systems (480Y/277V) and a 50/60 Hz frequency rating, with 320 L-N, 320 L-G, 320 N-G, and 640 L-L operating voltages, enabling straightforward integration into established power architectures without rewiring. EMI/RFI filtering delivers up to 50 dB attenuation from 10 kHz to 100 MHz, improving control signal integrity for PLCs and drives and reducing nuisance tripping in nearby instrumentation. The audible alarm with silence button, Form C relay contact, and surge counter with rest button offer immediate, auditable protection status for facilities teams and compliance reporting. The standard internal integrated mounting minimizes installation time and wiring, supporting a compact footprint suitable for crowded switchgear bays. The product’s 15-year warranty and UL 1449 listing underpin long-term protection budgets and total cost of ownership reductions for equipment-intensive environments.

FAQs
SPD080480Y2B is designed for use with 480Y/277V, 4W+G switchgear and supports internal integrated mounting. It is compatible with remote-display configurations and shares the same protection philosophy as Eaton’s other SPD devices, enabling straightforward retrofit without extensive wiring changes. For best results, verify 50/60 Hz operation, ensure a 320 L-N/320 L-G/320 N-G/640 L-L impedance fit, and confirm mounting space within the switchgear enclosure.
The device provides 80 kA per phase surge capability with a 200 kAIC short-circuit rating, a nominal discharge current of 20 kA, and a 50/60 Hz operating frequency. It supports 277/480V wye systems with voltages 320 L-N, 320 L-G, 320 N-G, and 640 L-L. The unit is UL 1449 Listed and is designed for -40 to 50 °C environments, making it suitable for harsh industrial settings.
Yes. The SPD080480Y2B includes EMI/RFI filtering that provides up to 50 dB of noise attenuation from 10 kHz to 100 MHz, helping protect sensitive control signals and sensors in PLCs and drives. This improves signal integrity, reduces control faults, and enhances overall system reliability in demanding industrial environments.
SPD080480Y2B carries UL 1449 listing and is designed to meet or exceed relevant building codes (IBC 2006, CBC 2007, UBC Zone 4). Eaton offers a 15-year warranty, reflecting its emphasis on long-term protection and total cost of ownership, making it a cost-effective choice for durable surge protection in critical applications.
Plan for internal integrated mounting within switchgear, ensuring ample space and proper wiring to support 320/640 V operation. Use with devices that have remote displays and configure audible alarm and Form C relay for monitoring and integration into SCADA or control systems. Routine checks should verify the surge counter, alarm functionality, and the integrity of connections; the 15-year warranty simplifies lifecycle budgeting.
