Special features
Standard with surge counter
Feature → Business Impact → Application: The SPD MAX series delivers a 120 kA per phase surge rating, enabling rapid clamping of transient events and preventing cascade failures in sensitive equipment. This translates to reduced downtime, fewer repair calls, and longer life for drives, controllers, and PLCs in motor control centers and manufacturing lines. Application: Ideal for control panels and electrical rooms where high-energy surges are common and keeping production online is critical. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 120/240 V split-phase compatibility simplifies retrofits and new installs in facilities with mixed voltage needs, lowering inventory complexity and installation time. Application: Data centers and distribution panels that require reliable bus protection and minimal service interruptions. Feature → Business Impact → Application: NEMA 4 with internal circuit breaker provides rugged protection in harsh environments, reducing weather-related or dust ingress concerns during servicing. Application: Outdoor or damp plant areas where ingress protection and on-board switching improve maintenance efficiency. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Standard with surge counter enables traceable protection events for compliance reporting, asset management, and preventive maintenance scheduling. Application: Facilities needing auditable surge history for audits or insurance purposes. Feature → Business Impact → Application: RoHS compliant construction supports green initiatives and regulator-aligned procurement, easing supplier qualification and sustainability reporting. Application: Corporate environments prioritizing compliant sourcing and long-term cost planning. Warranty and certifications (UL 1449, UL 1283, CSA) reinforce risk management and capital expenditure planning while RoHS alignment simplifies end-of-life recycling and regulatory adherence.
