Special features
Standard with surge counter
160 kA per phase protection delivers robust transient suppression for mission-critical equipment, reducing the risk of damage and downtime in manufacturing lines, data centers, and process control panels. This high-current capability translates to fewer outages and lower maintenance costs, improving overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) and asset longevity. The 240 delta high-leg (4W+G) configuration ensures accurate protection across balanced three-phase loads, enabling safer startup and smoother operations for mixed-load environments. The NEMA 4 enclosure with internal circuit breaker provides weather resistance and ready field serviceability, meaning faster installation and fewer enclosure-related delays on both indoor and outdoor sites. Standard with a surge counter, it offers traceable event history to simplify preventive maintenance and warranty compliance. RoHS compliance and multiple safety certifications (UL 1283, UL 1449, CSA) support procurement standardization and regulatory readiness, while the Max series footprint aligns with common panel layouts for compatible installation across facilities. The included warranty of 15 years (20 years with online registration) underpins long-term ROI through lower lifecycle costs and predictable support, making this SPD a practical choice for capital projects and facility upgrades.

FAQs
The SPM160240H3R is specified for 240 V delta 4W+G systems. For 480 V or other configurations, a different model or voltage rating is required to ensure proper protection and compliance. Always verify system voltage and phase configuration before selection.
This device provides 160 kA per phase of surge protection. That high rating helps absorb large transient events and limit voltage spikes reaching sensitive equipment, reducing the likelihood of insulation damage, premature aging, and downtime across industrial processes and data centers.
Yes. The SPM160240H3R features a NEMA 4 enclosure with an internal circuit breaker, enabling reliable protection in indoor and weather-exposed settings. This enclosure rating supports durability, easier installation, and safer maintenance in diverse plant environments.
The unit carries UL 1283 and UL 1449 certifications, along with CSA Electrical Notice No. 516 Edition 1 and CSA Std. C22.2 No. 8-M1986. RoHS compliance further ensures reduced hazardous substances, simplifying supplier qualification and end-user compliance.
The SPM160240H3R includes a 15-year warranty from delivery, with a 20-year option when registered on Eaton’s SPD site. This extended coverage supports total cost of ownership (TCO) reduction, predictable maintenance budgeting, and a strong return on investment for capital projects.
