Feature: 80 kAIC interrupt rating delivers robust surge handling that diverts damaging transients away from sensitive equipment. Business Impact: reduces failure rates of drives, controllers, and contactors, minimizing unplanned downtime and warranty exposure. Application: panel boards, motor drives, and distributed control systems in manufacturing environments where high-energy events are a regular risk. Feature: 277/480V wye (4W+G) voltage rating enables multi-volt protection with a single device. Business Impact: simplifies procurement, reduces spare parts inventory, and lowers installation complexity. Application: mixed-voltage distribution panels serving motors, drives, and control circuits in industrial facilities. Feature: NEMA 4X stainless steel enclosure provides weather and corrosion resistance. Business Impact: extended service life in outdoor and harsh indoor settings, lowering maintenance cycles. Application: outdoor switchboards, protected outdoor enclosures, and harsh factory environments. Feature: External side mounting supports quick retrofit and easy accessibility. Business Impact: faster commissioning, reduced installation labor, and compatibility with existing distribution equipment. Application: sidemounted protection on existing electrical distributions without major rebuilds. Feature: Operating voltages include 320 L-N, 320 L-G, 320 N-G, and 640 L-L, with 80 kAIC protection. Business Impact: broad circuit coverage for diverse loads, improved reliability, and straightforward integration into new builds. Application: industrial panels, drives, and step-down transformers in 277/480V systems. The 15-year warranty further reinforces total cost of ownership and long-term ROI.

FAQs
Begin by verifying the panel enclosure is accessible and de-energized. Mount the SPD externally on the side of the distribution equipment as permitted by the enclosure design. Connect lines L-N, L-G, N-G, and L-L per the wiring diagram, following all local codes. Ensure proper grounding and enclosure clearance, then perform a test to confirm clamping behavior and response time. This sidemounted approach enables faster retrofit and easier service access while maintaining UL 1449 compliance.
SPD080480Y2P provides an 80 kAIC interrupt rating and operates on 277/480V wye (4W+G). It supports operating voltages of 320 L-N, 320 L-G, 320 N-G, and 640 L-L. The enclosure is NEMA 4X stainless steel, and the unit is UL 1449 listed with a 15-year warranty. These ratings enable broad protection for industrial panels, motors, and drives in mixed-voltage installations.
Yes. The SPD is housed in a NEMA 4X stainless steel enclosure designed for harsh indoor and outdoor environments. Its external side mounting supports flexible installation in outdoor panels or weather-exposed electrical rooms. This combination provides reliable surge protection while withstanding dust, water exposure, and corrosion typical of industrial sites.
The device is UL 1449 listed, signaling compliance with recognized safety standards for surge protection devices. The NEMA 4X enclosure further reinforces protection against environmental factors. Together, these certifications support regulatory compliance, reduce risk in safety audits, and provide assurance for warranty claims and long-term reliability.
Deploying SPD080480Y2P reduces downtime by mitigating transient surges that damage motors, drives, and control electronics. It extends equipment life, lowers maintenance costs, and improves system availability in manufacturing and process facilities. The 15-year warranty and straightforward sidemount installation contribute to a favorable ROI by simplifying procurement and accelerating retrofits.
