Special features
Standard with surge counter
Feature: 160 kA per phase surge rating provides a robust shield against transient energy spikes. Impact: this level of protection minimizes downstream damage to drives, PLCs, and control electronics, reducing unplanned downtime and repair costs. Application: ideal for 120/208 V Wye installations in industrial plants, data centers, and service panels where high-energy surges are frequent and uptime is critical. Feature: 120/208 V Wye (4W+G) configuration simplifies integration with standard power distribution and protects all four current-carrying conductors. Impact: lowers wiring errors and shortens installation time, accelerating project timelines. Application: retrofits and new builds in manufacturing lines, process control rooms, and machine centers. Feature: NEMA 4 enclosure with internal circuit breaker provides rugged protection in demanding environments. Impact: enables installation in dusty, wet, or outdoor spaces, and allows fast isolation during fault events to minimize damage. Application: outdoor substations, manufacturing floors, and industrial control panels. Feature: Built-in surge counter offers visibility into surge activity. Impact: supports maintenance planning, regulatory reporting, and asset-management programs by quantifying events. Application: service panels and critical infrastructure where ongoing protection history improves reliability and budgeting. Feature: RoHS compliance and multiple certifications (UL 1449, UL 1283, CSA) support safer operation and regulatory alignment. Impact: simplifies procurement and audits while ensuring product meets international safety standards. Application: design reviews, compliance documentation, and cross-border deployments. Feature: 15-year warranty, with 20-year coverage when registered, reduces lifecycle risk and total cost of ownership. Impact: lowers risk of sudden replacement costs and supports long-term maintenance planning. Application: mission-critical installations in manufacturing, energy, and data-center environments.
