FAQs
Installation should follow the provided Eaton wiring diagram for 127/220 V Wye (4W+G) systems. Mount the unit in a suitable panel space, connect line and load per the spec, verify the internal circuit breaker is set to the appropriate rating, and enable the built-in surge counter for ongoing monitoring. Ensure RoHS compliance and UL/CSA listings are in place before energizing.
A 160 kA per phase rating indicates the SPD can safely clamp high-energy surges across each phase without damage, reducing the likelihood of equipment failure during severe transient events. This rating is particularly important in facilities prone to lightning strikes or frequent switching transients, contributing to uptime and asset protection.
Yes, the device is designed for heavy-duty electrical protection in industrial panels and MCCs. Its 127/220 V Wye configuration suits common control circuits, while the NEMA 4X enclosure provides weather resistance. For data centers, ensure system voltage and protection levels align with your rack or switchgear design, and consider monitoring needs via the surge counter.
The SPM160220Y3V carries UL 1449 and UL 1283 safety listings, CSA Electrical Notice NO. 516 Edition 1, and CSA Std. C22.2 No. 8-M1986. It is RoHS compliant, aligning with environmental and regulatory requirements. These certifications help validate safety, performance, and interoperability in North American electrical installations.
The built-in surge counter provides traceable event data, enabling proactive maintenance and accurate warranty validation. With the robust MAX series design, the SPD offers extended service life and reduced unplanned downtime, improving asset protection, simplifying compliance reporting, and supporting a measurable ROI through fewer unscheduled outages.
