Eaton SPD100480D3L Surge Protection Device - 100 kAIC

Paragraph 1: Feature: High interrupt rating of 100 kAIC provides robust surge protection for critical loads, limiting energy let-through during transient events. Impact: This reduces insulation stress, motor drive wear, and the likelihood of cascading faults that drive maintenance costs. Application: Ideal for 480V delta (3W+G) distributions across manufacturing lines and heavy machinery control panels where uptime and resilience matter most. Paragraph 2: Feature: Voltage rating of 480V delta (3W+G) with 640 V-G and 640 V-L-L operating conditions across the circuit ensures protection remains within the system's intended voltage window. Impact: Precise clamping behavior minimizes nuisance trips while safeguarding downstream drives, relays, and sensors from transient spikes. Application: Suitable for three-phase process facilities, HVAC installations, and material-handling equipment that demand reliable surge isolation in busy industrial environments. Paragraph 3: Feature: NEMA 1 indoor enclosure combined with external side mounting for sidemount configurations. Impact: Delivers rugged protection while simplifying retrofit into existing switchboards and distribution gear. Application: Perfect for sidemount SPD variants installed beside electrical distribution equipment in control rooms or mounted on exterior surfaces of panels where space is at a premium. Paragraph 4: Feature: Standard feature package includes a surge counter that logs event counts and enables quick verification of protection performance. Impact: Provides visible, auditable data for maintenance planning, compliance reporting, and ROI justification. Application: Plant engineers use surge data to optimize protection schemes, schedule component replacements, and justify continued investment in electrical protection. Paragraph 5: Feature: UL 1449 certification and a 15-year warranty back product reliability and regulatory alignment. Impact: Delivers long-term ownership confidence, minimizes lifecycle risk, and supports auditable reliability in regulated facilities. Application: Meets industry protection standards for industrial facilities and helps sustain compliance across multiple maintenance cycles and audits. Paragraph 6: Feature: Compact footprint—9.5 in long, 5.4 in wide, 3.45 in high—and a nominal 3.5 lb weight. Impact: Facilitates installation in space-constrained panels, control cabinets, and crowded electrical rooms without sacrificing protection performance. Application: External side mounting on distribution equipment in crowded electrical rooms or service entrances where sidemount protection is the practical choice.
