Eaton SPD080600D3O Surge Protection Device - UL 1449

80 kAIC interrupt rating provides high-energy surge capability, ensuring transient energy is safely diverted away from sensitive devices. This reduces arc-flash risk to personnel and lowers maintenance costs by preventing cumulative damage to switchgear and drives. It’s particularly beneficial for motor drives, PLCs, and transformer feeders in automated production lines. In high-energy events, that margin translates into longer asset life and fewer unplanned outages. This benefit is especially evident in facilities with frequent surges or highly sensitive electronics.NEMA 4X enclosure with internal disconnect and external side mounting delivers rugged protection in wet, dusty, or washdown environments. This design simplifies retrofit and field upgrades by allowing side installation without removing existing equipment. It also improves compliance with harsh-environment requirements for outdoor substations and production floors. The combination supports quick, field-ready protection installations that minimize commissioning time. Installation flexibility across diverse panel types is a real-time capital saver during plant expansions.Voltage rating of 600V delta (4W+G) and operating 840 L-G / 840 L-L ensures compatibility with typical industrial distribution equipment and modern drives. The external sidemounting option aligns with Eaton SPD sidemounted versions, enabling straightforward integration with existing gear and reducing wiring complexity. This alignment reduces total installed cost and simplifies spare-part planning. The 4W+G configuration provides protective coordination for both line-to-line and line-to-ground surges.UL 1449 certification confirms adherence to surge protection performance standards, supported by a 15-year warranty for long-term reliability. The built-in surge counter provides visibility into events, supporting preventative maintenance and compliance reporting. These assurances help maintenance teams justify procurement decisions and ensure consistent protection coverage across sites.Standard feature package includes a surge counter and a comprehensive set of installation resources, making commissioning faster and safer. Industry professionals value the clear datasheets and compatibility with external mounting to minimize field downtime during upgrades. The SPD also integrates with existing monitoring strategies, enabling dashboards and audits for reliability metrics.In industrial power protection scenarios, SPD080600D3O helps ensure uptime in production lines and service entrances by mitigating transient voltages, coordinating with upstream protection devices to avoid nuisance trips, and delivering predictable lifecycle performance. This translates to lower lifecycle costs and improved plant safety.
