Special features
Basic
160 kA per phase surge tolerance provides robust transient protection, dramatically reducing the risk of equipment damage and lowering downtime costs for drives, PLCs, and motors. This translates to improved uptime metrics and supports reliability-centered maintenance programs in high-load environments like stamping presses and packaging lines. The 240 delta high-leg (4W+G) configuration ensures balanced protection across phases and ground, minimizing nuisance trips and aligning with standard 3-phase power distributions used in industrial facilities. A rugged NEMA 4 enclosure with an internal circuit breaker offers weather-resistant protection for indoor and outdoor installations, reducing field service calls and supporting demanding environments. Certifications including UL 1449, UL 1283, CSA, and RoHS compliance provide procurement confidence and regulatory alignment; the 15-year warranty (20 years with online registration) adds long-term value and maintenance predictability. Finally, the compact dimensions and compatibility with the SPD MAX series simplify wiring and integration, shortening project timelines for retrofits and new builds alike.

FAQs
To install the SPM160240H1R, plan for compliant mounting in a service panel or equipment rack with adequate clearance around the NEMA 4 enclosure. Verify correct alignment with 4W+G delta wiring, connect conductors per the catalog, and secure the internal circuit breaker. Use proper torque on terminations and follow Eaton wiring diagrams to minimize installation time and potential mis-wiring.
With 160 kA per phase surge tolerance, the device dramatically reduces the risk of equipment damage during high-energy transients, translating to less unscheduled downtime and reduced replacement costs for drives, PLCs, and motors. This improves uptime metrics and supports reliability-centered maintenance programs, particularly in high-load environments like stamping presses or packaging lines where surge events are common.
Yes. The SPM160240H1R is designed for harsh industrial settings thanks to a NEMA 4 enclosure with an internal circuit breaker. It can be installed indoors or in covered outdoor spaces, provided environmental conditions meet the rating. The RoHS compliance and robust certification set helps meet regulatory requirements in utilities, manufacturing, and data centers.
Key certifications include UL 1449, UL 1283, CSA, and RoHS compliance. These align with safety, protection, and environmental standards for industrial devices, helping with audits and supplier qualification. The 15-year warranty (20 years with online registration) further supports maintenance planning, while the internal breaker provides an extra margin during service and testing.
From a total ownership perspective, the extended warranty and long service life reduce replacement intervals and spare-part needs. The rugged enclosure minimizes field failures, while straightforward wiring cuts labor costs. When paired with Eaton SPD MAX series components, you get predictable maintenance windows, fewer emergency calls, and improved asset uptime across production lines.
