FAQs
The SPD080480Y2K is designed for external side mounting, allowing installation on the exterior of panels or distribution equipment. The process involves securing the unit to a compatible enclosure, connecting L, N, and G paths to the corresponding distribution circuits, and ensuring proper grounding per local electrical codes. Always refer to Eaton's installation manual for step-by-step details and torque specifications to ensure reliable surge protection and compliance.
An 80 kAIC interrupt rating indicates the maximum surge current the device can safely interrupt without sustaining damage. This rating ensures protection against high-energy transient events typical in industrial facilities, reducing the risk of downstream equipment failure. For design, pair this rating with 277/480V wye systems and ensure proper enclosure and mounting to maintain performance during transients.
Yes, the SPD080480Y2K is rated for 277/480V wye systems and is housed in a NEMA 1 enclosure for indoor, general-purpose protection. Its external side mounting supports sidemount installation, enabling convenient integration in control panels and distribution boards without modifying existing equipment. This makes it suitable for plant floors, machine rooms, and other controlled environments.
The SPD080480Y2K includes a 15-year warranty, reflecting Eaton’s confidence in long-term performance. It is UL 1449 listed, providing assurance of compliance with recognized safety standards for surge protection devices. These certifications support regulatory adherence, asset protection strategies, and procurement late in the project lifecycle.
Typical use cases include protecting electrical distribution panels, motor control centers, and critical drives in manufacturing, data centers, and process industries. Its 80 kAIC rating and comprehensive protection paths (L‑N, L‑G, N‑G, L‑L) help maintain uptime, extend equipment life, and simplify compliance in environments with frequent voltage disturbances or switching transients.
