100 kA per phase protection in a single module translates to dramatic suppression of damaging surges, protecting sensitive drives and control electronics. This high-capacity protection reduces unplanned outages and lowers maintenance spend by limiting component failure rates. In automation and process industries, this means steadier uptime for PLCs, VFDs, and motor starters, especially where long cable runs and noisy industrial power environments are common. The 480 Delta (3W+G) rating ensures compatibility with common industrial power networks, enabling seamless integration into existing switchgear and panel configurations without extensive engineering work. A NEMA 4X enclosure with internal terminal block provides rugged, weather-resistant installation and simplifies wiring during panel assembly, reducing field labor costs. The standard surge counter delivers traceable event data for proactive asset management and maintenance planning. RoHS compliance and UL CSA certifications reinforce regulatory alignment across North America, supporting audits and supplier quality programs. The 15-year warranty (20 years with registration) delivers favorable total ownership economics by minimizing long-term replacement cycles and service intervals. This device is well-suited for data centers, automated manufacturing lines, and heavy industry where reliability and rapid fault reporting are critical. Compatibility with Eaton’s specification sheets and long-standing support ecosystem helps maintain project timelines and post-installation service capabilities, while avoiding unnecessary system redesigns.

FAQs
Installing the SPM100480D3X on a 480 Delta (3W+G) network requires confirming compatible bus voltage and confirming space for the 14.91 in width, 17.5 in height, and 9.3 in depth enclosure. Use the internal terminal block for wiring to minimize field labor, and ensure proper bonding and grounding per local codes. The unit’s NEMA 4X rating supports indoor and sheltered outdoor installations, reducing environmental concerns during mounting and commissioning.
The device provides up to 100 kA per phase protection, enabling rapid clamping of transient voltages and diverting surge energy away from protected equipment. This high rating reduces the likelihood of false trips and nuisance outages, safeguarding PLCs, drives, and control electronics. In practice, this translates to fewer component failures, lower maintenance costs, and improved uptime in demanding industrial environments.
Yes. The SPM100480D3X is housed in a NEMA 4X enclosure with an internal terminal block, designed for rugged installations. This construction protects sensitive electronics from dust, water ingress, and other harsh conditions commonly found on factory floors and outdoor switchgear. When paired with proper mounting and grounding practices, it remains reliable in demanding environments typical of manufacturing and process industries.
The unit carries UL 1449 listing, CSA certification, and RoHS compliance, aligning with North American safety and environmental standards. This broad certification set supports regulatory compliance, supplier qualification, and ease of procurement across multiple facilities. The documented standards help with audits, risk assessments, and consistent performance validation for critical electrical protection deployments.
Deploying the SPM100480D3X reduces downtime and extends equipment life by protecting sensitive components from transient surges. The built-in surge counter provides actionable data for predictive maintenance and asset management, lowering emergency service calls. Although initial capital cost is higher than basic protection devices, the long-term return on investment comes from lower repair costs, fewer production interruptions, and extended service intervals for critical drives and controls.
