High surge capability is the core feature of SPM160208Y4R, delivering 160 kA per phase for fast transients. This limits ripple, prevents insulation breakdown, and reduces unscheduled downtime. Suitable for data centers, manufacturing lines, and critical automation panels. Rugged housing with NEMA 4 rating protects against dust, moisture, and rain in demanding environments. The internal circuit breaker simplifies isolation and reduces panel wiring, accelerating installation and maintenance. UL 1449 certification demonstrates safety and performance compliance for surge protective devices. The Power Xpert SPD ecosystem compatibility enables centralized protection across multi-panel deployments, facilitating proactive monitoring and easier asset management during scale-up. A substantial footprint and 52 lb weight support reliable mounting in dedicated protection cabinets, while integrated design reduces coordination time with pre-wired connections and faster commissioning. This combination helps protection strategies meet reliability targets and reduce total cost of ownership.

FAQs
SPM160208Y4R is designed for 120/208V Wye systems with a 4W+G configuration. Its 9.5 in depth, 15 in width, 17.05 in height footprint and 52 lb weight fit dedicated protection cabinets; it includes an internal circuit breaker to simplify commissioning and reduce field wiring, while the NEMA 4 enclosure supports rugged indoor/outdoor use.
A 160 kA per phase rating indicates the SPD can safely divert large surge currents, protecting connected loads from damaging spikes. This reduces insulation stress, extends the life of sensitive components, and minimizes downtime during voltage events commonly seen on industrial power rails and data-center power systems.
Yes. The 120/208V Wye configuration, UL 1449 listing, and NEMA 4 enclosure are appropriate for data centers, manufacturing environments, and automation cabinets. The internal breaker supports quick isolation, enabling safe testing and maintenance without exposing technicians to live circuits.
The SPM160208Y4R is UL 1449-listed for surge protection devices and features a NEMA 4-rated enclosure for rugged operation. These certifications support compliance in most commercial and industrial installations and align with best practices for electrical protection hardware.
By preventing transient damage, the SPD reduces unplanned downtime, extends the life of motors, drives, and controllers, and lowers replacement costs. The built-in breaker lowers maintenance time, and the durable enclosure minimizes field service interruptions in harsh environments.
