Eaton SPD100600Y1N Surge Protection Device - UL 1449

High interrupt rating ensures robust defense against large transients. The SPD100600Y1N offers a 100 kAIC rating, protecting downstream equipment such as drives, PLCs, motor starters, and lighting circuits from a wide range of surge events typically generated by switching operations, utility faults, or lightning strikes. In practice, this capability translates into fewer nuisance trips, less equipment wear, and lower replacement costs for mission-critical loads in manufacturing lines and data acquisition systems. 347/600V wye operation supports a broad range of industrial power systems, including 3-phase networks common in heavy industry. The device also delivers precise coordination with 420 L-N, 420 L-G, 420 N-G, and 840 L-L configurations, enabling safer equipment startups and improved motor protection. The external sidemount configuration simplifies expansion or upgrades in spaces with limited panel depth, allowing placement outside the electrical distribution equipment. Rugged enclosure and external sidemount installation simplify field retrofits and new builds. The NEMA 4X enclosure provides protection against dust, water, and corrosion in demanding environments, while the side-mount design eliminates the need for internal panel space, reducing installation time and associated downtime. Compatibility with common distribution gear means you can standardize SPDs across sites, streamlining spare parts, maintenance, and training for maintenance staff. Comprehensive warranty and UL 1449 listing provide compliance assurance and long-term value. The SPD series carries a 15-year warranty and basic feature package, aligning with asset-life planning and reducing lifecycle risk while meeting industry safety requirements. Industry-practical insights: many facilities benefit from sidemount SPDs to minimize service interruptions from transient events and to simplify future upgrades. The compact footprint and weight of 3.5 lb enable flexible placement and minimal conduit work during installation, while external mounting reduces invasive modifications to existing equipment. For procurement teams, the SPD100600Y1N aligns with standard Eaton surge protection series, enabling easier specification, approvals, and supplier consolidation.
