FAQs
Begin by verifying 120/208 V availability and that the panel supports a Max series SPD. Mount the unit in the designated enclosure location, connect line and load conductors to the corresponding terminals, and ensure the internal circuit breaker is in the OFF position during wiring. Close and test using the manufacturer’s specification sheet. The lightweight yet sturdy 50 lb unit fits standard 9.3 in depth and 14.91 in width footprints, simplifying retrofits in existing panels.
The device provides 120 kA per phase surge capacity, operates on a 120/208 V Wye (4W+G) configuration, and features a NEMA 4 enclosure with an internal circuit breaker for safe isolation during maintenance. Certification set includes UL 1449 and UL 1283, along with CSA listings and RoHS compliance to support regulatory requirements.
Yes. Its high surge capability, RoHS compliance, and rugged NEMA 4 enclosure make it well-suited for data centers, manufacturing lines, and industrial control panels. The internal circuit breaker simplifies service, while UL and CSA certifications provide confidence in reliability and regulatory alignment for mission-critical applications.
The SPM120208Y1R is listed under UL 1449 and UL 1283, with CSA certifications (including CSA Electrical Notice No. 516 and related standards) and RoHS compliance. These certifications support compliance across North American installations and reduce procurement risk for regulated environments.
The SPD reduces downtime and equipment damage from transient surges, extends the life of power-sensitive devices, and simplifies maintenance with an integrated circuit breaker. It also offers long-term value through a 15-year warranty (20 years with registration), lowering total cost of ownership and protecting capital-intensive panels and controls.
