Feature: 80 kAIC surge rating provides robust transient handling that minimizes nuisance trips and equipment damage. Business Impact: Higher system uptime and reduced repair costs for sensitive drives, PLCs, and motor controllers. Application: Data centers, manufacturing lines, and process facilities where continuous operation matters. In practice, this means you can rely on protection that survives multiple surges without compromising downstream equipment. Feature: 277/480V wye (4W+G) voltage rating offers broad compatibility with standard industrial power distribution. Business Impact: Streamlines procurement and reduces panel retrofit time by matching common plant voltages. Application: Medium-voltage motor control centers and distribution panels. Feature: NEMA 4X enclosure delivers weather and washdown resistance for environments with dust, moisture, or cleaning chemicals. Business Impact: Lower enclosure damage risk and longer service intervals, cutting maintenance overhead. Application: Outdoor or damp locations, cellars, and manufacturing floors. Feature: External side mounting simplifies retrofit and minimizes panel openings. Business Impact: Faster installation, lower labor costs, and easier integration with existing SPDs. Application: Upgrades to legacy systems without major enclosure changes. Feature: 15-year warranty and UL 1449 certification provide long-term protection and regulatory assurance. Business Impact: Reduced lifecycle costs and improved compliance posture. Application: Facilities seeking durable, compliant surge protection across critical loads. Feature: Operating voltages 320 L-N, 320 L-G, 320 N-G, 640 L-L cover multiple surge paths. Business Impact: Comprehensive protection for line-to-ground and line-to-line events, lowering the risk of multi-path transients. Application: Industrial control panels and distribution boards where multi-path surges are common.

FAQs

Yes. The SPD080480Y2N is designed for external sidemount installation, allowing easy integration to existing electrical distribution equipment without major enclosure modifications. It supports 277/480V wye systems and aligns with standard panel layouts, reducing retrofit complexity and downtime while preserving protective performance across critical distribution points.
The 80 kAIC interrupt rating indicates the device can safely interrupt high-energy surges, minimizing the likelihood of downstream equipment damage. In facilities with heavy motor starts, long cable runs, or frequent transient events, this rating translates into improved uptime, fewer unplanned outages, and lower replacement costs for protected assets like drives and PLCs.
Yes. The SPD080480Y2N uses a NEMA 4X enclosure designed to resist dust, moisture, and washdowns. This makes it suitable for outdoor installation, damp production areas, and spaces exposed to cleaning processes, helping maintain protection performance and reducing enclosure-related maintenance needs.
This device is UL 1449 certified for surge protection performance and reliability. It utilizes a robust NEMA 4X enclosure appropriate for demanding environments and supports external sidemount installation. These certifications help ensure regulatory compliance and consistent protection across industrial power distribution systems.
The combination of an 80 kAIC rating, 15-year warranty, and UL 1449 accreditation reduces lifecycle risk and maintenance costs. With minimal routine maintenance required and durable enclosure protection, facilities can lower replacement cycles, minimize downtime, and achieve a lower total cost of ownership for power protection hardware across critical lines.
