High-energy surge capability provides robust protection (120 kA per phase; 200 kAIC) that clamps transient power surges before they reach MCC equipment. This reduces transformer and drive failures, extends motor life, and lowers maintenance costs for continuous operation. The voltage rating of 120/208 V wye (4W+G) and 50/60 Hz compatibility ensure reliable performance across diverse industrial environments, simplifying retrofits and new builds alike for motor control centers. Integrated mounting and a compact footprint (9.5 in length, 3.45 in height, 5.4 in width; 3.5 lb) streamline installation and panel planning, cutting field labor time and space requirements in MCC cabinets. EMI/RFI filtering up to 50 dB from 10 kHz to 100 MHz reduces noise on sensitive PLCs and drives, improving control reliability and product quality. Features such as audible alarm with silence button, Form C relay contact, and a surge counter with rest button provide immediate fault signaling and traceability for maintenance teams, helping prevent unscheduled outages. Built-in accessibility to a basic feature package and UL 1449/UL Listed certifications offer compliant protection with predictable lifecycle costs, while a 15-year warranty reinforces long-term value for industrial buyers.
