Eaton SPD080480Y4C Surge Protection Device - UL 1449
Part Number: SPD080480Y4C
Quick Summary
Eaton SPD080480Y4C surge protection device protects electrical systems from transient surges in switchboards, busways, and panel boards. Engineers often contend with nuisance outages and costly equipment damage from high-energy surges, which this SPD mitigates with fast response and robust protection. UL 1449 certification is a cornerstone for safety and performance, and the unit supports 277/480 V Wye configurations for Power Xpert compatibility. Beyond protection, the compact form and Power Xpert SPD integration streamline installation on switchboards and in panel boards, delivering measurable uptime and lower maintenance costs. This combination translates to stronger reliability and a clearer path to compliant, safer electrical distribution in industrial settings.

Feature — 80 kA per phase surge current provides high-energy event protection, reducing the likelihood of downstream equipment failure and unplanned downtime. Business impact — lowers repair costs and extends asset life, particularly for critical switchgear and motor control centers. Application — ideal for 277/480 V distribution in switchboards and panel boards in manufacturing plants and data centers. Feature — 277/480 V Wye (4W+G) voltage rating ensures proper grounding and phase balance while supporting standard protection architectures. Business impact — enhances safety, improves coordination with upstream breakers, and simplifies compliance reporting. Application — suits Power Distribution Units across industrial facilities with shared neutrals. Feature — UL 1449 certification and established safety compliance provide regulatory assurance. Business impact — reduces risk, streamlines procurement, and supports audit readiness. Application — appropriate for facilities prioritizing standards-based protection. Feature — Power Xpert SPD compatibility and use with PRL series boards enable flexible integration. Business impact — accelerates installation, minimizes wiring errors, and preserves protection topology. Application — enhances retrofit projects and new builds using Eaton protection ecosystems. Feature — compact dimensions and reasonable weight (3.48 in D × 12.05 in H × 7.47 in W, 6.8 lb) allow space-efficient mounting. Business impact — saves panel space, simplifies enclosure design, and reduces shipping/handling costs. Application — well-suited for tight switchboard interiors and mobile protection setups.

FAQs
SPD080480Y4C should be mounted in a suitably rated enclosure within reach of the main distribution path. Maintain recommended clearances for heat dissipation, ensure proper wiring to the 277/480 V Wye system with a grounded neutral (4W+G), and use Power Xpert SPD accessories to preserve intended protection. Confirm compatibility with PRL1a, 2a, 3a, 3e, and 4 panel configurations and verify UL 1449 compliance during commissioning.
Yes, SPD080480Y4C is designed for use with the Power Xpert SPD family and integrates with the Power Xpert SPD accessories. It protects switchboards, busways, and panel boards, including configurations PRL1a, 2a, 3a, 3e, and 4, by clamping transient surges and shielding downstream transformers, drives, and control electronics from overvoltage events.
SPD080480Y4C delivers up to 80 kA per phase surge current and supports a 277/480 V Wye (4W+G) configuration, making it suitable for three-phase distribution in commercial and industrial facilities. This combination enables robust protection for downstream equipment while maintaining compatibility with standard power distribution practices.
The SPD080480Y4C is UL 1449 certified, a key safety standard for surge protective devices. This certification confirms conformance to recognized safety and performance criteria, helping facilities meet regulatory requirements, pass inspections, and reduce liability when protecting critical electrical infrastructure.
Deploying SPD080480Y4C reduces downtime by mitigating transient overloads, lowers maintenance and replacement costs for protected equipment, and extends the life of switchgear and panel boards. Its UL 1449 certification and Power Xpert compatibility enable faster commissioning and safer, more reliable protection across distributed electrical networks.
