Eaton SPD080480Y3K Surge Protection Device - UL 1449

The 80 kAIC surge current rating provides high energy handling, reducing the likelihood of protective device tripping and protecting costly equipment in harsh industrial environments. Business impact: fewer unplanned shutdowns and lower maintenance costs due to robust surge handling; application: motor control centers and critical automation panels. The 277/480V wye compatibility enables direct integration with common plant power architectures, delivering faster installation and fewer wiring complications—critical for project timelines in manufacturing lines and data-center peripherals. The external sidemount with a NEMA 1 enclosure simplifies retrofit and new-installation workflows, enabling easier access for diagnostics while maintaining indoor protection from dust and debris—ideal for control panels and electrical rooms. The protection scheme covers 320 L-N, 320 L-G, 320 N-G, and 640 L-L voltages, ensuring comprehensive coverage across three-phase systems, which translates to improved reliability in equipment such as drives, PLCs, and sensors. The standard feature package plus a surge counter streamlines commissioning and ongoing monitoring, reducing post-installation adjustments and enabling quick verification during audits. A 15-year warranty reinforces long-term ownership value and reduces lifecycle costs, a meaningful factor for OEMs and maintenance teams seeking predictable budgeting. In practice, technicians appreciate the sidemount option for retrofits in existing enclosures, minimizing downtime during upgrades and ensuring consistent protective performance across facility networks. UL 1449 compliance provides regulatory confidence, while the compact footprint and documented installation manual support straightforward deployment in tight electrical closets and equipment rooms.
