The SPD080480Y3J provides 80 kA per phase surge rating, delivering robust transient protection that minimizes nuisance outages and equipment damage during lightning events or switching surges in motor control centers. With a 277/480 V wye (4W+G) rating and 320 L-N, 320 L-G, 320 N-G operating voltages (640 L-L MCOV), it supports reliable operation across common MCC configurations, reducing wiring complexity and improving installation efficiency. UL 1449 Listed certification and alignment with IBC/CBC/UBC standards help ensure compliance and risk mitigation in industrial facilities, while the standard features include an audible alarm with silence button and a Form C relay contact for immediate fault signaling. EMI/RFI filtering provides up to 50 dB attenuation from 10 kHz to 100 MHz, helping protect sensitive drives and control electronics from noise. The integrated mounting and a 15-year warranty offer long-term reliability and lower total cost of ownership for motor control investments. Compatibility with MCC assemblies and standard feature packages, including a surge counter, simplifies procurement and maintenance planning. By addressing common objections—size, noise, and maintenance burden—the SPD080480Y3J demonstrates clear value in proactive protection and operational resilience, with measurable gains in uptime and system stability in demanding industrial environments.

FAQs
SPD080480Y3J is designed for internal integrated mounting within MCC assemblies. Plan for correct phase connection to 320 L-N, 320 L-G, and 320 N-G paths, ensure 277/480V wye supply, and verify space for the audible alarm and surge counter access. Follow the Eaton specification sheet for wiring diagrams and the Form C relay connection to enable signaling.
The device is UL 1449 Listed, providing recognized surge protection safety compliance. It also aligns with building and electrical codes through its design which meets IBC 2006, CBC 2007, and UBC Zone 4 guidelines, helping facilities maintain regulatory compliance while protecting critical loads.
Yes. The unit is rated for 277/480V wye with a 4W+G configuration and supports motor control centers. Its 80 kA per phase surge rating and 200 kAIC interrupt rating give robust protection for MCCs, and its internal mounting simplifies integration with standard MCC bus and enclosure layouts.
Key specs include 80 kA per phase surge current, 200 kAIC interrupt rating, 20 kA nominal discharge current, 50/60 Hz frequency, and operating voltages of 320 L-N, 320 L-G, 320 N-G, 640 L-L. It is rated for 277/480 V and features EMI/RFI filtering with up to 50 dB attenuation from 10 kHz to 100 MHz.
Maintenance benefits include an audible alarm with a silence button and a surge counter with rest button that facilitate quick fault notification and trending. EMI/RFI filtering reduces electrical noise, potentially extending the life of sensitive drives, while the 15-year warranty and internal integrated mounting reduce lifecycle costs and downtime in MCC environments.
