Eaton’s SPD Series (Sidemount Versions) Data Sheet
The SPD120208Y2M delivers a high surge current capability with a 120 kAIC interrupt rating at 120/208V wye (4W+G), enabling it to absorb energy from lightning strikes and switching events before it reaches sensitive equipment. This translates to reduced insulation stress, fewer nuisance trips, and longer life for drives, controllers, and data equipment in manufacturing lines and facilities. The NEMA 1 enclosure with an internal disconnect and external sidemount mounting simplifies installation and serviceability, allowing quick retrofits alongside existing switchgear without extensive wiring or enclosure alterations. Operating voltages of 150 L-N, 150 L-G, 150 N-G, and 300 L-L cover common single- and three-phase configurations, ensuring broad compatibility across panelboards, MCCs, and distribution gear. A standard feature package keeps installation straightforward, while a 15-year warranty lowers lifecycle costs and reinforces long-term reliability. The combination of UL 1449 certification and durable construction supports regulatory compliance and steady uptime in critical environments. This device is a practical choice for data centers, manufacturing floors, and commercial buildings seeking predictable protection without complicating procurement or maintenance.
