Max series protection from Eaton delivers robust surge handling with a single module rated at up to 120 kA per phase, making it suitable for demanding industrial feeders. The SPM120220Y3X uses a 127/220 V Wye (4W+G) configuration to shield three-phase, four-wire systems typical of modern power distribution panels, drives, and PLC racks. With a standard surge counter, clear event history, and a compact footprint, this SPD minimizes nuisance tripping while preserving service continuity. In practice, this means quieter operation, longer motor life, and better protection for sensitive equipment on manufacturing lines and data-processing racks. Designed for harsh environments, the unit features a NEMA 4X enclosure with an internal terminal block that streamlines wiring and reduces panel clutter. The internal block also improves safety by enclosing terminals and enabling faster, error-free field connections. Its substantial dimensions—9.3 in depth, 14.91 in width, 17.5 in height—and a 50 lb weight indicate a rugged, installer-friendly footprint that remains serviceable in both indoor and protected outdoor spaces. Maintenance and lifecycle costs are lowered by the built-in surge counter, which provides visible wear trends and simplifies compliance reporting. Eaton backs the SPD with a 15-year warranty from delivery, extending to 20 years when registered on the Eaton SPD site. This warranty redundancy translates to lower total cost of ownership and predictable budgeting for replacement cycles in critical lines. Compliance and compatibility ensure risk management across facilities: RoHS compliant, UL 1449, UL 1283 certifications, plus CSA recognition for electrical notice alignment. The SPM120220Y3X plugs into Eaton's SPD ecosystem and follows standard 127/220 V protection practices for 120/240 VAC networks. This alignment supports regulatory compliance, safer installations, and simplified procurement for electrical distributors, engineers, and maintenance teams.

FAQs
Installation begins with verifying the panel rating and ensuring space for the SPM120220Y3X in a NEMA 4X environment. Use the internal terminal block to connect lines and ground, route conductors neatly, and secure the module against vibration. Align with 127/220 V Wye wiring and confirm the surge counter is visible for maintenance logs. Always follow local codes and use appropriate personal protective equipment.
SPM120220Y3X provides up to 120 kA per phase transient current handling in a 127/220 V Wye (4W+G) configuration. It is designed for single-module protection within a MAX series, suitable for three-phase power feeds and critical loads where voltage spikes could disrupt drives and PLCs. The device includes a surge counter for easy monitoring of events.
Yes. The SPM120220Y3X is explicitly configured for 127/220 V Wye (4W+G) systems, which are common in industrial control panels. Its internal terminal block simplifies wiring, and the NEMA 4X enclosure protects against harsh environments. This makes it appropriate for protecting motors, drives, and PLCs in manufacturing and process facilities.
The SPM120220Y3X carries UL 1449 and UL 1283 certifications, along with CSA recognition and RoHS compliance. These certifications support regulatory compliance and safety requirements in many industries. When specifying for regulated facilities, confirm matching local electrical codes and ensure procurement aligns with RoHS and CSA/UL standards for traceability.
The integrated surge counter provides visibility into transient activity, enabling proactive maintenance planning and timely replacements, which reduces unexpected downtime. Combined with a 15-year warranty (20 years with registration), the device lowers lifecycle costs and improves budgeting accuracy for equipment protection in high-uptime environments.
