FAQs
Install the SPM160220Y1V in a suitable enclosure with a 4W+G connection and ensure a proper main/branch protection topology. Use the internal circuit breaker for disconnecting power during maintenance. Confirm panel space matches the unit’s dimensions (9.3 in L × 17.5 in H × 14.91 in W) and verify compatibility with 127/220 V Wye supplies. Follow applicable wiring codes and Eaton installation guidelines.
160 kA per phase indicates the device’s ability to safely clamp high-energy surge events on each phase. This translates to superior protection for downstream equipment like PLCs, drives, and sensors, reducing the likelihood of transient-induced failures and downtime. In practice, this parameter supports robust performance in demanding industrial environments.
Yes. The unit uses a NEMA 4X enclosure designed for harsh or outdoor environments and includes an internal circuit breaker for added safety. This makes it well-suited for outdoor panels, exposed installations, and locations with moisture or dust exposure while maintaining reliable surge protection.
The SPM160220Y1V carries UL 1449 and UL 1283 listings, CSA Electrical Notice No. 516 Edition 1, and CSA Std. C22.2 No. 8-M1986, along with RoHS compliance. These certifications help meet electrical codes and procurement standards, simplifying audits and enabling confident selection for regulated industries.
The device helps reduce downtime and maintenance costs by protecting essential equipment from surges, extending component life, and lowering replacement rates. Combined with Eaton’s long warranty (15 years, 20 years with registration), customers typically see a favorable total cost of ownership through fewer outages, less equipment damage, and smoother compliance reporting.
