High surge capability is a core feature; SPD100208Y4J delivers 100 kA per phase, protecting MCCs from damaging transients. Business impact: fewer drive faults, less unplanned downtime, and lower maintenance costs. Application: ideal for motor control centers in manufacturing and process facilities where large startup surges are common. Rugged internal components and fast response times help maintain drive integrity during peak switching events and minimize cascade faults across the protection stack. Its dimensions—3.48 in depth, 7.47 in width, 12.05 in height—along with a 6.8 lb weight make it feasible to mount in standard MCC enclosures. This translates to faster installation, reduced panel modification, and consistent protection coverage across panels. The compact footprint supports dense protection layouts and simplifies cascading protection schemes in multi-panel assemblies. UL 1449 certification ensures safe operation and reliable protection performance under industrial conditions. Combined with the 120/208 V Wye (4W+G) configuration, it supports correct grounding and cohesive protection within multi-wire systems. Certification-friendly design helps procurement teams meet internal and external compliance requirements without sacrificing protection quality. Integration with Power Xpert SPD accessories simplifies wiring, monitoring, and maintenance. The device is designed to work seamlessly with existing protection schemes, enabling centralized management and easier diagnostics across the protection stack. Field serviceability supports rapid replacement, reduces downtime during maintenance windows, and helps technicians verify protection status via standard inspection routines. From an operational perspective, the unit reduces downtime, extends motor life, and lowers spare parts inventory by consolidating protections in a single enclosure. In MCC deployments, this translates to predictable protection performance, improved compliance readiness, and a lower total cost of ownership over the system lifetime. Real-world deployments report faster commissioning, clearer fault isolation, and improved fault-traceability when used with the Power Xpert SPD ecosystem.
