Feature 100 kA per phase surge rating delivers strong transient protection, reducing the risk of downstream failures and unplanned downtime. Business impact includes extended equipment life and lower repair costs, with applications in motor drives, PLCs, and control cabinets. Application: protect critical loads at main distribution and subpanels across manufacturing lines and data centers. Application integration with Eaton devices supports unified protection strategies and streamlined procurement. Application of 120/240V split-phase compatibility lowers installation complexity, minimizes rewiring, and reduces labor time during panel upgrades or retrofits, enabling faster project realization and lower total cost of ownership. Feature UL 1449 certification ensures compliance with recognized safety standards, reinforcing reliability for audits and safety programs. Power Xpert SPD ecosystem compatibility enables centralized monitoring and coordinated protection with other Eaton protection devices, improving visibility and incident response. Feature NEMA 4 enclosure suitability allows reliable operation in dirty, wet, or outdoor environments, expanding usable deployment locations. Feature Compact dimensions (3.48 in depth, 12.05 in height, 7.47 in width) and a 6.8 lb weight simplify mounting in crowded panels and service vehicles, reducing site planning constraints. Feature Standard cataloging SPD100240S4N prevents misordering and simplifies logistics, especially on cross-site deployments.

FAQs
SPD100240S4N is designed for use in electrical panels, motor control centers, and distribution enclosures that operate on 120/240V split-phase systems. Its NEMA 4 enclosure compatibility and UL 1449 certification support reliable mounting in harsh indoor or outdoor environments, enabling straightforward integration into existing Eaton Power Xpert SPD architectures.
A 100 kA per phase rating means each phase can absorb a surge up to 100 kiloamperes without suffering internal damage, significantly reducing the likelihood of downstream equipment failure. In practical terms, this translates to fewer PLC and drive faults, lower maintenance costs, and minimized production downtime during electrical storms or grid disturbances.
SPD100240S4N is UL 1449 certified, a key safety standard for surge protective devices, which supports regulatory compliance and product reliability. Its NEMA 4 enclosure rating further ensures suitability for challenging environments, including exposure to dust and moisture. Together, these specifications simplify audits and help meet industry protection requirements in industrial facilities.
Begin with verifying 120/240V split-phase supply compatibility and panel availability. Mount SPD100240S4N in the protected enclosure, connect the line and load conductors per the catalog page, and link it to the Power Xpert SPD monitoring network for centralized supervision. The device’s standard footprint and wiring scheme minimize retrofit risk and support scalable protection across multiple panels.
ROI is driven by reduced unplanned downtime, lower repair/ replacement costs for sensitive electronics, and longer asset life for drives and control systems. Maintenance is typically limited to periodic visual checks and monitoring via the Power Xpert SPD ecosystem, with inspection frequency guided by site risk and surge exposure. The device’s UL 1449 certification supports long-term reliability and compliance.
