High surge capability translates to real uptime gains for motor control centers; 120 kA per phase surge current and 200 kAIC interrupt rating mean rises in transient energy are absorbed before they reach sensitive equipment. This directly reduces unplanned outages and extends motor life, especially in plants with irregular power quality. The 120/208V wye configuration (4W+G) and internal integrated mounting simplify installation, cutting commissioning time and enabling quicker panel upgrades. EMI/RFI filtering delivers up to 50 dB attenuation from 10 kHz to 100 MHz, which minimizes control noise and improves reliability of sensitive automation circuits, PLCs, and drives. Audible alarm with a silence button and a Form C relay contact provide clear, remote fault signaling for maintenance teams and automation integration without additional hardware. The surge counter with a rest button supports proactive maintenance planning by quantifying surge events over time, driving data-driven decisions. Built to operate from -40 to 50 °C and rated for 120/208V systems, this SPD supports harsh manufacturing environments while maintaining protective performance. Its 15-year warranty reinforces total cost of ownership by reducing replacement cycles and warranty-related downtime, which is especially valuable in high-demand industries. The device is designed for motor control centers and other industrial applications seeking compliant, durable surge protection with easy install, robust protection, and measurable ROI.
