External side mount design simplifies integration with existing protection cabinets and minimizes field wiring, allowing faster retrofits and easier servicing. This configuration reduces on-site time and lowers installation labor costs. The SPD100480Y3Q316 is engineered for 277/480V Wye (4W+G) systems, aligning with common industrial power layouts. In busy facilities, quick, reliable installation translates to less downtime during panel upgrades or relocation. With an interrupt rating of 160 kAIC, the device can absorb high-energy surges before reaching downstream equipment. That capability translates to extended equipment life, fewer sudden failures, and reduced maintenance spend on motor starters, drives, and PLCs. For facilities with sensitive loads—pumps, fans, robots—this margin improves uptime and protects critical loads during storms or switching events. NEMA 4X 316 stainless steel enclosure delivers corrosion resistance and weatherproof protection in wash-down, dusty, or outdoor environments. This robustness is essential in food & beverage, chemical processing, oil & gas, and outdoor substations. The enclosure also provides physical protection against rough handling in crowded electrical rooms. Standard feature package and surge counter provide built-in visibility into device activity. Surge counters support maintenance planning and regulatory reporting by documenting surge events. Having these features reduces guesswork during quarterly tests and ensures compliance with preventive maintenance programs. Dimensions of 13.5 in L, 13.2 in H, and 7.7 in W, weighing 24 lb, place this unit in a manageable footprint. This sizing supports retrofit into existing enclosures without major cabinet changes. The compact form factor also minimizes vibration-induced wear in busy production environments. Rugged construction from Eaton and compatibility with external side mounting ensures reliable operation across multiple line configurations and ease of integration into control panels.
