Special features
Basic
120 kA per phase surge rating → This energy-handling capability delivers robust protection for the most demanding loads by absorbing transient energy from lightning, utility switching, motor startups, and heavy load fluctuations. Business impact: dramatically reduces insulation breakdown, winding damage, and unplanned downtime, translating into longer asset life and higher plant availability. Application: ideal for 120/208 V industrial panels, machine centers, robotics cells, and automation cabinets where uptime is mission-critical. As part of Eaton SPD MAX series, it is designed to integrate with existing protection schemes. 120/208 V Wye (4W+G) compatibility → Aligns with common power distributions used in manufacturing facilities, data centers, and commercial spaces, minimizing reconfiguration and wiring complexity during installation. Business impact: lowers commissioning time, reduces field wiring errors, and improves protective coordination with upstream devices and breakers. Application: data centers, assembly lines, and control rooms relying on standard 4-wire systems and coordinated surge protection for critical loads. The SPM120208Y1T slots into existing Eaton protection ecosystems. NEMA 4 enclosure with internal terminal breaker → Combines rugged environmental protection with simplified wiring and safe isolation for maintenance. Business impact: expands outdoor and wash-down installation options, reduces service time, and lowers labor costs by enabling safer, faster wiring and testing procedures. Application: outdoor panels, wash-down zones, coastal facilities, and rugged factory floors where humidity, dust, or splashing water are concerns. Warranty and lifecycle support → 15-year warranty from date of delivery (20 years when registered) demonstrates long-term protection and Eaton's confidence in reliability. Business impact: improves total cost of ownership, budget predictability, and maintenance planning across multi-year capital programs. Application: facilities management for plants, warehouses, and data centers with extended protection horizons. Certification and compliance framework → UL 1449, UL 1283, CSA listings, and RoHS compliance ensure safety, reliability, and regulatory readiness across industries. Business impact: simplifies audits, accelerates procurement approvals, and reduces compliance overhead for regulated environments. Application: regulated manufacturing sectors, healthcare infrastructure, and critical process controls that require proven surge protection and documented conformance.
