100 kA per phase surge rating provides robust transient protection, reducing the risk of expensive equipment damage and unplanned downtime in fast-paced production environments. The business impact is measurable: fewer outages, longer asset life, and lower maintenance costs from once-daily protection to ongoing reliability. Application: ideal for critical control panels and motor starter cabinets where energy storms can originate from upstream faults or switching events. The 120/208 V Wye (4W+G) rating aligns with common North American power distribution, enabling straightforward integration into existing electrical layouts and minimizing redesign costs. The NEMA 4 enclosure with internal circuit breaker delivers weather-resistant, dust-tight protection plus built-in fault isolation, improving safety and simplifying compliance audits in manufacturing floors and outdoor install sites. Feature: single module design simplifies retrofits and spare-part inventory, accelerating installation and reducing downtime during upgrades. The RoHS compliance and UL/CSA certifications provide regulatory assurance and future-proofing for OEMs and integrators, while a 15-year warranty (20 years with registration) lowers total cost of ownership and reinforces long-term protection strategy. These advantages combine to improve system availability in harsh environments and support lifecycle planning for electrical protection strategies.

FAQs
Installations should account for the device’s 9.3 in depth, 14.91 in width, and 17.5 in height within standard electrical protection cabinets. It is a single-module unit with an internal circuit breaker, designed for NEMA 4-rated environments. Before wiring, ensure power is isolated, follow conduit and grounding best practices, and verify compatibility with existing 120/208 V Wye panels to minimize panel disruption during retrofit.
The SPM100208Y1R offers a 100 kA per phase surge rating, a robust specification that cushions equipment from high-energy transient events. This rating is critical for protecting sensitive loads in control cabinets and industrial panels, reducing the likelihood of insulation damage, premature aging, and unplanned downtime caused by transient surges from faults or switching events in the power network.
Yes, the device’s NEMA 4 enclosure provides weather-resistant protection suitable for damp, dusty, or outdoor-adjacent installations when mounted in a protected environment. While the enclosure supports harsh conditions, ensure the unit is installed in a location that avoids direct exposure to precipitation and employ proper mounting to maintain enclosure integrity and performance over time.
The SPM100208Y1R carries UL 1449 and UL 1283 listings with CSA certifications for added safety assurance. It is RoHS compliant, which aligns with environmental and regulatory requirements. These certifications support compliance-driven procurement and enable reliable performance in regulated industries while reducing risk during audits and inspections.
The device carries a 15-year warranty from delivery, extending to 20 years if registered on Eaton’s SPD site. The ROI comes from reduced downtime, longer equipment life, and lower maintenance costs due to enhanced surge protection. For mission-critical operations, the extended warranty and high surge rating help stabilize maintenance budgets and improve asset uptime.
