80 kA per phase
80 kA per phase surge rating provides robust transient protection, minimizing equipment damage and reducing downtime in high-energy environments. This performance translates to longer service life for motors, drives, and controls, lowering replacement costs and maintenance intervals in manufacturing facilities. The 277/480 V Wye (4W+G) configuration enables straightforward integration into existing industrial power distribution without rewiring, accelerating commissioning and retrofit projects. UL 1449 certification ensures compliance with recognized safety standards, giving engineers a verifiable basis for acceptance in audits and customer specifications. The rugged NEMA 4 enclosure protects the SPD from dust, water, and washdown environments, expanding outdoor or damp-area placements while preserving protection integrity. Compatibility with the Power Xpert SPD ecosystem simplifies coordination with other protection devices, enabling centralized monitoring and faster fault isolation for rapid incident response. With a compact 3.48 in depth, 12.05 in height, and 7.47 in width, and a weight of 6.8 lb, the unit is an install-friendly choice for retrofit or new builds, reducing field labor and project risk. Industry practitioners gain confidence from a proven, modular protection solution that scales across facilities and aligns with established maintenance workflows and ROI expectations.
