FAQs
The SPD080480Y4K is designed for indoor panel mounting in NEMA 1 enclosures. Plan available space, mount the device adjacent to the main distribution or critical load panel, and wire per manufacturer wiring diagrams for 277/480 V Wye systems. Use proper protective conductors, verify clearances, and ensure UL 1449 compliance during final testing. This minimizes installation time and supports a clean, serviceable protection solution.
The device provides up to 80 kA per phase surge current, suitable for protecting sensitive electrical loads. It is rated for 277/480 V Wye configurations with a 4W plus ground setup, aligning with common industrial power systems. This combination helps absorb extreme transients and maintain uninterrupted operation for critical equipment and control circuits.
Yes, particularly in cabinets and panels within data centers or industrial control environments where transient suppression is essential. The 80 kA per phase rating and UL 1449 listing ensure robust protection for power distribution equipment, while the NEMA 1 enclosure makes it suitable for indoor, controlled environments typical of data centers and manufacturing lines.
SPD080480Y4K is UL 1449 listed, which confirms it meets established surge protection standards for electrical devices. This certification supports compliance, safety, and insurance considerations in regulated facilities. While the product emphasizes UL 1449, its enclosure compatibility and standard voltages further align with typical industrial acceptance criteria.
The device reduces downtime by limiting damage from voltage transients and extending the life of downstream equipment. With a straightforward installation and compatibility with Eaton’s Power Xpert SPD accessories, maintenance planning becomes more predictable, inventory streamlined, and total cost of ownership improved through fewer repair events and longer system reliability.
