High surge current rating delivers robust transient protection. With up to 120 kA per phase, it shields motors, drives, and PLCs from damaging spikes, reducing downtime and unwarranted replacement costs in demanding environments. 120/208 V Wye (4W+G) compatibility simplifies integration with typical electrical rooms and control panels, supporting straightforward retrofits and future expansions. A NEMA 4 enclosure with an internal terminal breaker provides rugged, field-ready installation and safe maintenance access even in harsh indoor or semi-outdoor spaces. Standard surge counter enables ongoing monitoring of transient events, supporting maintenance planning and asset management without external metering. Long-term value is reinforced by a 15-year warranty (20 years with registration) and leading certifications (UL 1449, UL 1283, CSA). Combined with RoHS compliance, this reduces total cost of ownership and simplifies procurement for regulated environments. Dimensions and weight support space planning: 9.3 in depth, 17.5 in height, 14.91 in width, and 50 lb.

FAQs
Installation begins with confirming the panel rating (120/208V) and ensuring the space supports a 9.3 inch depth, 17.5 inch height, and 14.91 inch width. Mount the device using standard enclosure guidelines, connect the 4W+G conductors to the internal terminal breaker, and verify wiring with the surge counter active. Follow NEC requirements for panel protection and label all connections for future service.
The SPM120208Y3T offers 120 kA per phase protection, suitable for safeguarding loads such as motors, drives, PLCs, and control panels. Its high surge capability minimizes transient damage during utility or switching events, helping to prevent unplanned downtime and component wear across industrial automation equipment and process controls.
Yes. The device uses a NEMA 4 enclosure with an internal terminal breaker, designed for indoor and semi-outdoor environments where dust, water, and exposure to moisture could affect performance. This rugged enclosure helps maintain reliability in manufacturing floors, electrical rooms, and protected outdoor installations when properly mounted.
The SPM120208Y3T carries UL 1449 and UL 1283 listings along with CSA C22.2 notices, providing NEC safety and surge protection compliance. RoHS compliance further ensures restricted hazardous substances. These certifications matter for safety audits, regulatory adherence, and procurement decisions in regulated facilities, data centers, and critical manufacturing environments.
The product includes a 15-year warranty from delivery, with an option to extend to 20 years if registered on Eaton's SPD portal. Registration typically unlocks the extended warranty, offering greater protection against product faults and aligning with long-term maintenance budgeting for industrial protection equipment.
