80 kA per phase surge current delivers robust transient protection for 277/480V four-wire plus ground configurations, reducing the risk of equipment damage and unplanned downtime in busy electrical rooms. This capability translates to higher equipment uptime and lower maintenance costs for mission-critical processes and manufacturing lines. The device also supports 50/60 Hz operation and provides 320 L-N, 320 L-G, 320 N-G, and 640 L-L MCOV, enabling reliable protection across typical industrial power distribution schemes and panelboard assemblies. 200 kAIC short-circuit rating ensures resilience against high fault currents common in large facilities, improving overall system safety and continuity. EMI/RFI filtering up to 50 dB from 10 kHz to 100 MHz reduces electrical noise impact on sensitive controllers and drives, supporting smoother operation and tighter process control. An audible alarm with silence button, a Form C relay contact, and an internal surge counter deliver clear diagnostics and remote signaling capabilities for easier maintenance planning and faster root-cause analysis. Internal integrated mounting simplifies installation, reducing labor time and minimizing enclosure footprint. The standard feature package includes a surge counter and essential protection, delivering a reliable combination of protection, visibility, and ease of use for panelboard and busway installations. A 15-year warranty further lowers total cost of ownership by reducing long-term replacement cycles and service interventions.
