Special features
Standard with surge counter
The SPM160240D3T delivers 160 kA per phase transient suppression for 240 V delta (3W+G) systems. This robust rating protects sensitive drives, motor controllers, and control circuits, lowering the risk of unplanned outages and expensive repairs. Ideal for industrial panelboards and outdoor enclosures in manufacturing, water treatment, and process plants. The NEMA 4 enclosure with internal terminal breaker enables reliable field wiring and weather resistance. You gain reduced installation time and fewer external components to manage, improving site safety and reliability. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations where harsh conditions or moisture are present. The standard surge counter provides built-in monitoring for maintenance planning. Operators can verify protection status during routine checks and comply with asset-management programs, simplifying compliance reporting and lifecycle management. RoHS compliant with UL 1449, UL 1283, and CSA certifications ensures regulatory alignment and safer supply chains, supporting code approvals in regulated industries such as manufacturing and process facilities. A long-life warranty and documented reliability reduce total cost of ownership. With 15-year coverage from delivery (20 years with registration), asset managers can budget more predictably for replacements and downtime mitigation. Precise dimensions and weight—9.3 in depth, 17.5 in height, 14.91 in width, and 50 lb—facilitate space planning and seamless integration with existing switchgear and panel layouts.
