FAQs
SPD080480Y4J provides 80 kA per phase surge capacity, rated for 277/480 V Wye (4W+G). It carries UL 1449 certification and has a catalog number SPD080480Y4J. The unit weighs 6.8 lb and measures 12.05 in (H) x 7.47 in (W) x 3.48 in (D). This combination suits protection needs in motor control centers.
Yes. SPD080480Y4J is explicitly configured for 277/480 V Wye distributions with four conductors plus ground (4W+G). This makes it a straightforward fit for new MCC installations and retrofits, allowing coordinated protection with existing motor drives and electrical gear within standard industrial MCC panels.
The device is ideal for motor control centers and panels that feed industrial motors and drives. Its 80 kA per phase rating supports robust transient suppression in demanding environments, while its 277/480 V Wye configuration aligns with common plant electrical systems, enabling reliable protection across multiple MCCs in manufacturing, processing, and packaging facilities.
SPD080480Y4J carries UL 1449 certification, indicating compliance with recognized surge protection safety standards. This certification supports compliant procurement, reduces risk in regulated installations, and provides assurance of performance under surge conditions that could otherwise jeopardize motor control and drive equipment.
Implementing SPD080480Y4J can lower maintenance costs and downtime by protecting MCCs from damaging transients, extending motor and drive life, and reducing unplanned outages. While exact savings depend on the facility, the 80 kA per phase protection and UL-certified design deliver measurable reliability gains and faster time-to-commissioning when updating MCC protection.
