Eaton’s SPD Series (Sidemount Versions) Data Sheet
External side mounting is a defining feature; it frees interior panel space, simplifies wiring runs, and reduces installation time. Business impact: faster deployments, lower labor cost, and easier retrofits in crowded electrical rooms. Application: ideal for sidemounted protection on switchgear and control panels in commercial facilities. The 100 kAIC interrupt rating translates to higher surge tolerance, protecting downstream electronics during high-energy events. Business impact: minimizes unplanned downtime and extends asset life. Application: suitable for motors, drives, and sensitive control systems in manufacturing and logistics environments. The 120/208V wye (4W+G) configuration ensures broad compatibility with standard facility distributions. Business impact: simplifies live system protection across mixed-load panels. Application: applies to office complexes, data centers, and light industrial installations. Broad surge coverage across L-N, L-G, N-G, and L-L paths delivers comprehensive protection. Business impact: reduces risk to critical loads and enhances reliability metrics. Application: protects lighting, controllers, and power distribution components in multi-line systems. A basic feature package provides essential protection out of the box, while the NEMA 1 enclosure supports indoor installation in standard equipment rooms. Business impact: lowers total cost of ownership and shortens time-to-protection. Application: procurement-friendly for engineers needing rapid deployment. The 15-year warranty reinforces long-term reliability and service life. Business impact: predictable maintenance planning and reduced lifecycle costs. Application: appropriate for OEMs and facilities seeking durable, regulated protection.

FAQs
SPD100208Y1M supports external side mounting, designed to be installed on the exterior of distribution equipment. This approach reduces space constraints inside crowded enclosures and simplifies wiring runs, allowing faster installation and easier field upgrades. For facilities with limited internal clearance, sidemounted protection minimizes panel intrusion while maintaining regulatory compliance and protection coverage for critical loads.
Yes. SPD100208Y1M is engineered for 120/208V wye (4W+G) electrical distributions common in commercial and light industrial facilities. It protects upstream and downstream circuits against transient surges on line-to-neutral, line-to-ground, line-to-line, and neutral-ground paths, safeguarding equipment such as motors, drives, lighting, and control systems. This broad coverage helps reduce nuisance tripping and extends equipment life in mixed-load environments.
Key certifications include UL 1449 approval, ensuring compliance with recognized surge protection standards. The unit uses a sturdy NEMA 1 enclosure suitable for indoor installations, and its 15-year warranty provides long-term reliability. This combination makes SPD100208Y1M appropriate for regulated facilities and applications where enclosure protection and documented performance are essential. Manufacturers and integrators rely on these metrics for procurement.
100 kAIC indicates the device can interrupt high-energy surge events without internal damage, protecting downstream electronics in demanding environments. By reducing the frequency of equipment failures and extending service life, facilities experience lower maintenance costs, less downtime, and improved uptime. When combined with external sidemount installation, it enables scalable protection for expanding distributions and simplifies future upgrades.
Maintenance for SPD100208Y1M is minimal due to its passive design and UL 1449 certified performance. Periodic visual inspection of the enclosure, wiring connections, and mounting integrity is recommended, particularly after events or equipment upgrades. The 15-year warranty provides long-term protection, and the installation manual outlines service intervals and replacement procedure to ensure continuous protection of critical loads.
