Special features
Basic
160 kA per phase surge rating provides robust protection against transient events, reducing equipment damage and downtime while extending the life of critical loads in data centers and manufacturing lines. This translates to lower maintenance costs and minimized production interruptions in high-demand environments. The 120/208 V Wye (4W+G) single-module design simplifies integration with standard panelboards and motor control centers, enabling faster installation and reducing labor costs on commissioning and upgrades. A NEMA 4X enclosure with an internal terminal block delivers reliable performance in harsh indoor and outdoor settings, supporting washdown areas and rugged plant floors without compromising wiring integrity. RoHS compliance and strict certifications (UL 1283, UL 1449, CSA) ensure regulatory alignment, guarding against compliance gaps and market-entry delays. The 50 lb form factor and documented dimensions enable precise planning for retrofits and new builds, while the extended warranty coverage (15 years, or 20 years with registration) lowers total cost of ownership over the device lifecycle.

FAQs
The SPM160208Y1X is designed for 120/208 V Wye (4W+G) systems and suits standard panelboards, MCCs, and switchgear configurations. Its single-module format simplifies wiring, reduces panel footprint, and supports straightforward retrofits in industrial control panels without requiring complex adapters.
A 160 kA per phase rating means the device can absorb high-energy transient events without failing, protecting downstream equipment from damaging overvoltages. This leads to fewer equipment faults, reduced downtime, and extended life for motors, drives, and control electronics in harsh manufacturing and utility environments.
Yes. The unit features a NEMA 4X enclosure with an internal terminal block designed for harsh environments, including washdown areas and outdoor installations. This enclosure protects internal components from dust, water, and corrosion, enabling reliable surge protection in exposed plant floors and exterior electrical rooms.
The device carries UL 1449 and UL 1283 listings, CSA certifications, and RoHS compliance. These certifications validate electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility, and environmental responsibility, helping you meet regulatory requirements and ease audits for facility upgrades or new builds.
The SPD offers a 15-year warranty from delivery, with an extended 20-year warranty available when registered on Eaton’s site. This extended coverage reduces long-term maintenance risk and total cost of ownership, making it a cost-effective choice for asset-intensive environments.
