FAQs
Plan for standard enclosure mounting dimensions (3.48 in depth, 7.47 in width, 12.05 in height) and ensure adequate clearance for heat dissipation. Use proper wiring gauge for the 230 V line and connect to switchgear with remote display if enabled. Verify UL 1449 compliance in your panel schedule and ensure compatibility with Power Xpert SPD accessories for remote monitoring.
The device provides up to 100 kA per phase surge capability, which means it can absorb large transient energies that would otherwise travel into protected loads. This capability reduces the likelihood of equipment damage and nuisance trips, supporting longer equipment life and more stable process operation in environments with frequent surges or lightning activity.
Yes. The product specifies an accessory pathway for Power Xpert SPD and is used with switchgear that includes remote display options. This enables enhanced monitoring, fault reporting, and centralized protection management, making it easier to track SPD status alongside other protection devices in a unified system.
SPD100230L4B is UL 1449 listed, reflecting compliance with widely recognized surge protection safety standards. This certification supports safer operation, reliability in protection schemes, and smoother vendor qualification processes during audits or regulatory reviews.
The unit measures 3.48 in depth, 7.47 in width, and 12.05 in height, with an approximate weight of 6.8 lb, enabling straightforward mounting in standard enclosures. ROI benefits come from reduced downtime, extended protection life of downstream equipment, and simplified compliance reporting through reliable surge protection and optional remote monitoring integration.
