Eaton SPD080480Y2C Surge Protection Device - UL 1449 Listed
Part Number: SPD080480Y2C
Quick Summary
Eaton SPD080480Y2C surge protection device protects switchboards and panelboards from voltage transients in 480Y/277V systems. When installations face unpredictable surges, nuisance trips and diagnostics delays hinder uptime, and visibility into events is limited. Key certification includes UL 1449 Listed status, underscoring compliance with surge protection safety standards; EMI/RFI filtering provides up to 50 dB attenuation from 10 kHz to 100 MHz for cleaner power and fewer interference issues. With internal integrated mounting and 50/60 Hz compatibility, it delivers a compact, plug‑and‑play protection solution for switchboards, busways, and panelboards PRL1a through 4. A 15‑year warranty, robust surge ratings, and clear event monitoring translate into lower lifecycle costs and more reliable electrical protection for industrial facilities.

SPD080480Y2C delivers 80 kA per phase surge current rating, enabling protection against high-energy transients that can damage drives, controllers, or switchgear. This capability reduces unplanned downtime and extends equipment life for motors and power distribution units in industrial facilities. It is designed for 480Y/277V four‑wire systems with a ground (4W+G), making it ideal for switchboards, busways, and panelboards PRL1a–4. With a nominal discharge current of 20 kA and a 200 kA short‑circuit rating, this SPD offers robust protection for downstream equipment during severe surge events while maintaining safe operation across 320 L‑N, 320 L‑G, 320 N‑G, and 640 L‑L configurations. EMI/RFI filtering provides up to 50 dB of noise attenuation from 10 kHz to 100 MHz, improving control reliability and reducing interference in sensitive electronics. An audible alarm with silence button, Form C relay contact, and a surge counter with rest button give operators clear visibility and easy integration with plant monitoring systems. Internal integrated mounting simplifies installation in crowded panels; its compact footprint (9.5 in L × 5.4 in W × 3.45 in H) and 3.5 lb weight support quick deployment in existing Eaton architectures. The unit operates from -40 to 50 °C and comes with a 15-year warranty for long-term protection of switchgear, busways, and panelboards (PRL1a, 2a, 3a, 3e, 4).
