FAQs
The SPM120220Y1V is a single-module SPD designed for 127/220 V Wye (4W+G) systems and a NEMA 4X enclosure with an internal circuit breaker. Install per Eaton's Specification Sheet, wire to the panel’s main bus and ground, observe proper polarity, and secure the unit in a vertical or horizontal orientation as permitted by the enclosure. Adhere to clearance and handling guidelines to preserve rating and warranty.
The 120 kA per phase rating indicates the device can withstand very high transient currents per phase without damage, providing robust protection for sensitive equipment during switching events or lightning-induced surges. This rating applies to each phase in a 3-phase system, ensuring the protection remains effective across the installed control panels and automation gear.
Yes. The SPM120220Y1V is intended for industrial control panels and process automation environments. Its Max series design, 127/220 V Wye configuration, NEMA 4X enclosure, and internal circuit breaker support both indoor and moderately harsh outdoor locations, reducing nuisance trips and maintaining uptime in manufacturing, packaging, and material handling applications.
The unit carries UL 1449 and UL 1283 approvals, CSA C22.2 No. 8-M1986, and CSA Electrical Notice NO. 516 Edition 1, along with RoHS compliance. These certifications verify performance, safety, and regulatory alignment for electrical protection devices in North American facilities, helping you meet vendor, regulator, and customer requirements while enabling safer installations.
The SPM120220Y1V carries a 15-year warranty from delivery, extendable to 20 years with registration. This long-term coverage lowers maintenance and replacement costs, improves asset protection, and strengthens ROI for critical lines and automation assets by reducing unplanned outages and repair expenditures.
