Special features
Basic
Feature: High surge current rating of 160 kA per phase provides robust transient suppression. Business Impact: Protects drives and control hardware from damaging energy surges, reducing unplanned downtime and replacement costs. Application: Ideal for data centers, manufacturing lines, and critical PLC panels operating on 120/208 V Wye systems. Feature: NEMA 4 enclosure with an internal circuit breaker ensures rugged, weather-resistant protection and simplified maintenance. Business Impact: Enables safe outdoor or dirty environment installation without additional enclosures, lowering installation time and total cost of ownership. Application: Control cabinets, outdoor equipment pads, and industrial automation panels in harsh environments. Feature: RoHS compliant and multiple certifications (UL 1449, UL 1283, CSA) demonstrate regulatory readiness. Business Impact: Streamlines compliance for regulated facilities and reduces risk of non-compliant procurement, facilitating cross-site deployment. Application: Electrical protection where RoHS and safety certifications are required, including energy management and manufacturing operations. Feature: Footprint and weight provide a practical installation profile. Business Impact: Clear footprint fits standard installation spaces while offering straightforward retrofits in existing panels. Application: New installs and upgrades in control rooms, switchgear neighborhoods, or modular automation racks. Feature: Long warranty support—15 years (20 years with registration)—improves lifecycle value. Business Impact: Predictable maintenance planning and lower total cost of ownership through extended protection. Application: Multi-year capital projects where warranty-backed reliability reduces risk in commissioning and handover.
