Special features
Standard with surge counter
160 kA per phase surge capability translates to higher energy absorption before protective action, reducing the risk of downstream equipment damage and unplanned downtime in high-load processes. This robust rating supports critical loads such as motors, drives, and programmable logic controllers, enabling longer runtime and lower repair costs in manufacturing plants. The device is designed for 240 delta (4W+G) configurations, ensuring optimal protection for delta-wye mixed systems and preventing nuisance tripping during heavy switching events. The NEMA 4X enclosure with an internal terminal block provides weather-resistant, easy-wiring installation suitable for demanding environments, including outdoor panels and washdown areas, while maintaining secure termination. A built-in surge counter offers real-time monitoring for preventive maintenance planning, helping your team schedule replacements before failures occur. The RoHS-compliant construction, along with UL 1449, UL 1283 and CSA certifications, supports regulatory compliance and traceable quality across global facilities. With a 15-year warranty (20 years when registered on Eaton’s SPD portal), the SPD MAX series delivers long-term value by minimizing lifecycle costs and simplifying asset management. This model is compatible with standard Eaton panel installations and can be integrated into existing protection schemes without extensive redesign, reducing total cost of ownership for power protection programs.

FAQs
The SPM160240H3X is designed for straightforward installation in standard control panels. It uses an internal terminal block for secure wiring, fits within a NEMA 4X enclosure, and supports 240 delta (4W+G) configurations. Ensure correct phase connection following the supplied wiring diagram, verify clearances, and utilize the surge counter for ongoing health checks as part of preventive maintenance.
This device provides 160 kA per phase surge capacity, enabling it to absorb large transient events before reaching downstream equipment. It protects sensitive components such as motors, drives, and controls by clamping transients at the source, reducing outlet overvoltages and preventing insulation damage, insulation breakdown, and unexpected downtime in demanding manufacturing environments.
Yes. The unit features a NEMA 4X enclosure designed for rugged, wet, and dusty environments. The internal terminal block simplifies wiring and maintenance while preserving enclosure integrity. For outdoor installations, ensure proper panel mounting and drainage, and routinely inspect the enclosure seals to maintain protection against moisture and particulates.
The SPM160240H3X carries UL 1449 and UL 1283 listings, CSA certifications, and RoHS compliance. These certifications confirm electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility, and material compliance with environmental standards, simplifying procurement for regulated industries and supporting corporate compliance programs in global facilities.
The SPD MAX series includes a 15-year warranty from delivery, extending to 20 years when registered on Eaton’s SPD portal. The built-in surge counter provides visibility into usage and remaining protection life, enabling proactive maintenance, reducing unplanned outages, and optimizing spare parts planning for a favorable total cost of ownership.
