Eaton SPD080480Y2L Surge Protection Device - UL 1449

80 kAIC surge capability is the defining feature of the SPD080480Y2L, delivering fast, clamp-down response to transient events across 277/480V systems. This level of interrupt rating shields delicate drives, sensors, and motors, delivering measurable uptime gains and reduced maintenance costs for manufacturing lines and distribution rooms. It’s well suited to panelboards, switchgear, and MCCs operating in heavy-duty environments where voltage spikes from switching, lightning, or faults are a constant risk. With a NEMA 1 flush enclosure and external side mounting, installation is straightforward in standard indoor spaces and existing equipment racks. Contractors appreciate the sidemount approach because it simplifies retrofits and minimizes field work or rewiring. The compact footprint (9.5 in L, 5.4 in W, 3.45 in H) and a weight of 3.5 lb further speed up mounting while preserving clear access to terminal connections and diagnostics if provided. UL 1449 certification affirms surge protection performance under real-world conditions, while the 15-year warranty provides long-term value and predictable total cost of ownership. This protection is designed to last across multiple maintenance cycles with minimal servicing, reducing the risk of surprise outages and warranty disputes. The device supports reliable operation in busy industrial environments, with a sidemount configuration that minimizes enclosure space and simplifies integration into existing distribution equipment.
