High surge rating with robust protection: 160 kA per phase guards against severe transients, reducing the likelihood of damaging spikes in demanding industrial settings. Business impact: minimizes unplanned downtime and extends the life of critical equipment; Application: protects motor drives, PLCs, and instrumentation in manufacturing lines. NEMA 4 enclosure with internal terminal breaker: weather-resistant and dust-tight design improves reliability in indoor/outdoor environments and simplifies wiring. Business impact: faster installation, lower field labor costs, and improved safety; Application: panel-mounted protection in outdoor control cabinets. 127/220 V Wye (4W+G) compatibility: supports standard 4-wire three-phase systems, easing integration with existing electrical feeds. Business impact: reduces design tweaks and procurement friction; Application: automation panels and machine rooms. Warranty of up to 20 years with registration: longer asset protection and predictable budgeting. Business impact: lowers lifecycle costs and resale value; Application: long-term fleet protection in facilities. RoHS compliance and safety certifications (UL 1449, UL 1283, CSA C22.2): regulatory alignment reduces compliance risk and vendor audit complexity. Business impact: smoother procurement and fewer compliance bottlenecks; Application: OEM and retrofits across regulated environments.

FAQs
Install the SPM160220Y1T in a suitable control panel or distribution cabinet with a 127/220 V Wye configuration. Mount the device in the panel, connect line and load per the included wiring diagram, and ensure the internal terminal breaker is installed as required. Verify RoHS compliance and confirm UL/CSA approvals are documented for the site audit.
The SPM160220Y1T provides 160 kA per phase protection, designed to absorb high-energy transients. This protects essential equipment such as PLCs, drives, sensors, and motor controllers from voltage spikes, thereby reducing nuisance trips, equipment wear, and unplanned downtime in industrial environments.
Yes. The device uses a NEMA 4 enclosure with an internal terminal breaker, delivering weather resistance and dust protection suitable for indoor/outdoor installations and challenging factory floors. This design minimizes field exposure risks and supports reliable operation in harsh environments without extra enclosure upgrades.
SPM160220Y1T carries UL 1449 and UL 1283 certifications along with CSA C22.2 No. 8-M1986 and compliance to RoHS. These certifications confirm safety, electrical performance, and environmental compliance, reducing regulatory risk for OEMs and end users and simplifying vendor qualification and audits.
Total cost of ownership includes initial purchase, installation labor, and scheduled maintenance savings from reduced downtime. With a 15-year warranty (20 years with registration), and robust protection reducing equipment damage, the device lowers lifecycle costs, improves asset utilization, and protects return on investment across long-term production schedules.
