Surge current
100 kA per phase
Surge protection performance with 100 kA per phase is backed by a robust design that minimizes voltage spike impact, reducing wear on critical MCC components and lowering maintenance costs over time. This translates to fewer trip incidents and improved uptime, especially in environments prone to transient events from switching operations or lightning. The 277/480 V Wye (4W+G) configuration ensures seamless compatibility with common MCC power architectures, enabling straightforward retrofits and future-proofing of power distribution. UL 1449 certification reinforces compliance and safety, helping you meet strict industrial standards while simplifying audits and maintenance planning. The Power Xpert SPD integration supports centralized protection strategy, enabling coordinated diagnostics and faster replacement planning within Eaton’s Protection Network. With a compact footprint and a weight of 6.8 lb, installation in crowded MCC cabinets is more manageable, reducing installation time and labor costs. Finally, the device’s use with motor control centers aligns with established MCC protection practices, delivering reliable surge containment for drives, starters, and panelboards across industrial facilities.
