Eaton SPM160240H3T SPD - UL 1449 Listed Protection

High surge protection capability delivers 160 kA per phase, protecting critical loads from damaging transient events. This reduces downtime, extends the life of drives, controllers, and motors, and minimizes costly field service calls. For facilities with sensitive equipment and tight uptime targets, the Eaton SPD MAX series provides a dependable first line of defense in power distribution panels and output-distribution gear. By limiting transient voltages at the source, it also lowers the risk of nuisance tripping and equipment cascading faults. 4W+G delta high-leg compatibility ensures correct phasing and wiring, preventing miscode trips and nuisance faults that disrupt production. The business impact is improved panel reliability, lower maintenance labor, and fewer unexpected outages, especially in legacy delta systems common in manufacturing campuses and process plants. This configuration supports straightforward installation in new builds and retrofits, minimizing the need for complex wiring adapters or additional protective devices. NEMA 4 enclosure with internal terminal breaker simplifies installation and future upgrades by reducing field wiring complexity and space requirements. The built-in surge counter gives real-time visibility into protector activity, supporting condition-based maintenance plans and enabling proactive replacements before failures occur. In harsh environments—dusty, humid, or corrosive—the enclosure protects internal electronics and supports long service life. RoHS compliance, UL 1449 certification, and CSA listings help meet strict regulatory and supplier qualification standards. These certifications reduce procurement risk and simplify audits in industries such as automotive, data centers, and heavy manufacturing where rigorous standards apply. The device’s compact yet rugged design delivers consistent protection while remaining compatible with standard electrical panels, benefiting electrical contractors and maintenance teams. Warranty coverage of 15 years from delivery, extending to 20 years when registered on Eaton’s SPD portal, reinforces expected return on investment by lowering asset replacement costs. Other business value includes the surge counter for traceable protection history, RoHS compliance to ease end-of-life recycling, and long-term supplier support. Combined, these factors translate into lower total cost of ownership and more predictable maintenance budgeting across multi-site operations.
