Eaton SPM160240S1T Surge Protection Device - RoHS

The SPM160240S1T delivers 160 kA per phase protection for 120/240 V split-phase systems, absorbing high-energy transients before they reach sensitive loads. This capability reduces nuisance trips, minimizes motor and drive failures, and lowers maintenance costs by preventing voltage spikes from propagating through the panel. With nanosecond response, critical loads stay within voltage margins during severe events, ensuring uptime for conveyors, pumps, and PLCs. Built for installation flexibility, the device uses a NEMA 4 enclosure with an internal terminal breaker, simplifying wiring inside panelboards and enabling safe outdoor or harsh-environment mounting. The integrated breaker reduces cabinet space requirements and minimizes field wiring complexity, translating to faster commissioning and lower labor costs on new installs or upgrades. Compliance and durability matter for audits and risk management; the unit is RoHS compliant and carries CSA and UL certifications (UL 1283, UL 1449; CSA Electrical Notice NO. 516), offering clear regulatory alignment for regulated industries such as manufacturing, processing, and data centers. Warranty and lifecycle planning are straightforward: a 15-year warranty, extendable to 20 years when registered on Eaton’s SPD portal, providing long-term predictability for maintenance budgets. The rugged protection suite supports scalable protection strategies across multi-line facilities, enabling teams to plan replacements and upgrades with confidence. Field experience shows that leveraging a single-channel SPD with a proven protection curve helps maintenance teams shift from reactive repairs to proactive reliability programs, improving MTBF and reducing spare-part inventories while meeting uptime SLAs.
