High surge capability protects critical equipment and reduces downtime in 120/208V systems. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 120 kA per phase surge current with 200 kAIC short-circuit rating prevents damage from large transient events, supporting uptime in data centers, manufacturing lines, and distribution panels. Application: switchgear assemblies requiring robust surge immunity. The device operates at 50/60 Hz with 120/208V nominal, enabling seamless integration with existing electrical infrastructure and minimizing rework during upgrades. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Operating voltage options (150 L-N, 150 L-G, 150 N-G, 300 L-L) and MCOV of 300 V ensure protection across multiple feeder configurations. Application: mixed-load environments with varying protective needs. Feature → Business Impact → Application: EMI/RFI filtering delivering up to 50 dB attenuation reduces electrical noise, improving PLC and servo drive performance and minimizing nuisance trips in sensitive control circuits. Application: precision manufacturing and automated systems. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Audible alarm with silence button, Form C relay contact, and surge counter with rest button provide immediate fault signaling and traceability, supporting quicker maintenance decisions and regulatory reporting. Application: facilities requiring clear fault history and remote-display compatibility. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Internal integrated mounting simplifies installation, reduces enclosure space, and streamlines retrofits thanks to a compact footprint (9.5 in L × 5.4 in W × 3.45 in H) and a 3.5 lb weight. Application: new builds and panel upgrades seeking fast, reliable deployment. Warranty of 15 years adds long-term cost protection and support for total-cost-of-ownership improvements in large electrical networks.
