FAQs
Installation starts with selecting the internal-integrated mounting option and right-terminal configuration suitable for 4W+G systems. Verify 120/208V wye compatibility and 50/60 Hz operation, then connect per Eaton's wiring diagram, ensuring proper grounding and adherence to clearances. The unit’s dimensions (12 in x 12 in x 6 in) and weight (6.8 lb) fit common panelboard spaces, supporting fast, code-compliant retrofits and new installations.
The 120 kA per phase surge current indicates the device can absorb large transient events on each phase before protection is compromised, while 20 kA nominal discharge reflects typical sustained transient handling capability. Together with a 200 kAIC interrupt rating and 300 L-L MCOV, they define the device’s level of protection for 120/208V panelboards in demanding environments.
Yes. The 120/208V wye rating, 50/60 Hz compatibility, and panelboard focus make it ideal for commercial and light industrial electrical distribution. It protects panelboards, OEM equipment, and control systems where reliable surge suppression is critical, such as manufacturing lines, data centers, and process control setups, especially when fast fault isolation and regulatory compliance are priorities.
SPD120208Y2G carries UL 1449, UL 1283, and UL Listed certifications, and meets IBC 2006, CBC 2007, and UBC Zone 4 requirements. These approvals provide safety assurance for building and facility codes, supporting code-compliant installation in commercial, industrial, and healthcare environments.
The device includes an audible alarm with a silence button, a Form C relay contact, and a surge counter with a rest button for proactive maintenance and event auditing. EMI/RFI filtering reduces noise in control systems, while compact, internal mounting simplifies serviceability and minimizes downtime during inspections or replacements, improving overall return on investment.
