Special features
Standard with surge counter
160 kA per phase protection delivers robust defense for high-energy transients, reducing fuse trips and equipment damage across industrial panels. Business impact: minimizes unplanned downtime and extends the life of motors, drives, and controllers; application: centralized power protection in manufacturing lines and process controls. NEMA 4 enclosure with an internal circuit breaker provides rugged outdoor and harsh-environment performance, simplifying installation and ensuring compliance in demanding facilities; application: service panels and outdoor equipment aisles with fewer external components to manage. The 127/220 V Wye (4W+G) configuration ensures compatibility with common industrial distributions, easing retrofit and new builds; impact: faster commissioning and lower risk during integration projects. Standard with a surge counter and RoHS-compliant construction support ongoing monitoring and eco-friendly procurement; impact: traceable protection metrics and reduced compliance concerns during audits. Warranty of 15 years (20 years with registration) translates to lower total cost of ownership, while UL/CSA certifications and RoHS compliance bolster procurement confidence; impact: smoother vendor qualification and risk reduction in regulated sectors. Lightweight enclosure design and precise dimensions (9.3 in depth, 14.91 in width, 17.5 in height) enable straightforward mounting in standard electrical rooms; impact: optimized space planning and quicker installation across facilities. In practice, engineers value the combination of high surge capability, built-in monitoring, and universal compatibility for reliable protection without added external devices.
