Feature → Business Impact → Application: 100 kA per phase interrupt rating delivers high protection where motor drives and MCCs are prone to large transients, reducing unexpected outages and maintenance costs in heavy-duty applications. This translates to longer equipment life and lower total cost of ownership for facilities with frequent surges or poor grounding. Feature → Application: EMI/RFI filtering up to 50 dB from 10 kHz to 100 MHz minimizes electrical noise, improving communication and control reliability in automated lines and robotics. Feature → Application: Internal integrated mounting and standard package with surge counter provide fast deployment in existing MCCs and new installations, speeding commissioning and reducing field wiring complexity. Feature → Application: Audible alarm with silence button and Form C relay contact offer immediate fault visibility and easy integration into plant control logic, supporting proactive maintenance and compliance. Feature → Application: 120/240 V split single-phase rating with 50/60 Hz compatibility suits common MCC cross-rail configurations and spare parts limits, simplifying procurement and spares planning. Feature → Application: 200 kAIC short-circuit rating ensures resilience against upstream faults, enabling safer coordination with upstream protection devices and minimizing cascading trips in critical lines.

FAQs
The SPD100240S3J is designed for motor control centers and similar panel environments, featuring an internal integrated mounting method and a standard feature package with a surge counter. It supports 120/240 V split single-phase systems at 50/60 Hz and is suited for MCC builds or retrofits where reliable surge protection and compact installation are required. This makes it straightforward to integrate with existing MCC wiring and control schemes while preserving space and wiring efficiency.
A 200 kAIC short-circuit rating means the device can withstand and interrupt large fault currents without damage, providing robust protection for downstream equipment and reducing the risk of cascading failures. In motor control centers, this translates to improved fault tolerance, minimized downtime after upstream faults, and safer coordination with upstream protective devices in high-demand drives and feeders.
Yes. The SPD100240S3J is UL 1449 listed, meeting core surge protection standards for electrical installations. It also aligns with building-code performance references such as IBC 2006, CBC 2007, and UBC Zone 4, giving engineers and procurement teams confidence that it satisfies regulatory and safety requirements for commercial and industrial projects.
The device includes an audible alarm with a silence button and a surge counter with a rest button, enabling quick field confirmation of surge events and easy logging for maintenance audits. EMI/RFI filtering further reduces noise-induced faults, while the Form C relay contact can be wired into plant controllers for automated fault signaling and maintenance planning.
While initial investment varies, the SPD100240S3J lowers total cost of ownership by reducing downtime, protecting valuable motors and drives, and extending service life of MCC components. The 15-year warranty, UL certification, and compatibility with standard MCC configurations mean fewer replacement parts, less frequent repairs, and a faster return on investment through sustained production uptime.
