FAQs
To install the SPM160240D3V, verify system voltage is 240 Delta (3W+G) and power is de-energized before work. Mount the unit in a compatible enclosure, connect the three phase lines and ground to the provided terminals, and verify the internal circuit breaker is in the ON position. Use the surge counter to monitor activity and follow local codes.
The SPM160240D3V carries UL 1449 and UL 1283 certifications, along with CSA certification and RoHS compliance. These approvals confirm electrical safety, performance reliability, and material compliance for global installations, helping reduce qualification burdens on large projects and ensuring regulatory alignment.
Yes. The device is designed for NEMA 4X environments and ships as a single module with an internal circuit breaker. This configuration supports rugged outdoor or hazardous indoor locations, simplifies installation, and provides continued protection against moisture, dust, and other contaminants while enabling straightforward serviceability.
The 160 kA per phase rating affords robust transient surge protection for motors, drives, and sensitive electronics typical of industrial environments. This capability reduces unplanned downtime, lowers repair costs, and extends equipment life, especially during high-energy events like motor startups or grid disturbances when protection coordination is essential.
The SPM160240D3V includes a 15-year warranty from delivery, extending to 20 years when registered on Eaton’s site. This long-term coverage lowers total cost of ownership, while the device’s reliability reduces downtime and maintenance expenses. Combined with UL/CSA certifications and a surge counter, it provides strong value for asset-intensive operations.
