Special features
Basic
The SPM120208Y1X delivers a high surge current capability of 120 kA per phase in a single-module design, providing robust transient suppression that minimizes the risk of equipment damage and unplanned downtime in manufacturing lines, data centers, and critical power feeds. This translates to lower replacement costs and extended life for drives, PLCs, and control electronics, especially in environments with frequent voltage fluctuations. Its 120/208 V Wye (4W+G) configuration ensures seamless integration with standard commercial power distribution, enabling straightforward panel integration, switchgear, and lighting circuits without complex rewiring. A NEMA 4X enclosure with an internal terminal block simplifies wiring, protects connections from dust and moisture, and accelerates installation in harsh industrial settings. RoHS compliance and comprehensive UL/CSA certifications further support regulatory alignment and long-term reliability.
