FAQs
Yes, SPD120208Y3G is designed for use with panelboards, including PRL-C configurations. It features internal integrated mounting and right-terminal terminals, which simplifies installation in tight electrical chambers. This compatibility minimizes wiring complexity and reduces field labor, helping installers achieve a clean, code-compliant protection scheme quickly.
The device operates at 120/208 V with 50/60 Hz, offering an 20 kA nominal discharge current and a 200 kAIC interrupt rating. It provides EMI/RFI attenuation up to 50 dB from 10 kHz to 100 MHz, plus surge protection with a 120 kA per phase capability. These specs combine to guard loads, sensors, and drives from transient surges.
SPD120208Y3G carries UL 1449, UL 1283, and UL Listed certifications. These attest to essential safety and performance standards for surge protection devices, ensuring reliable operation in industrial and commercial environments and helping meet regulatory requirements in electrical installations.
The audible alarm provides immediate fault alerts, while the surge counter logs events and includes a rest button for quick reset. Together, they enable proactive maintenance, reduce unplanned downtime, and simplify field diagnostics by delivering clear, actionable protection status without needing separate metering devices.
Expected ROI derives from reduced equipment damage, fewer outages, and lower service costs due to improved power quality. Best practices include placing the device at the main distribution point or at service entrances in panel enclosures, wiring with proper gauge conductors, and coordinating with existing protective relays to ensure effective, centralized surge protection coverage.
