Feature → Business Impact → Application: 160 kA per phase capacity provides strong surge protection for high-energy transients, reducing the likelihood of equipment damage and downtime in heavy manufacturing lines and data-center feeders. Compatible with 230/400 V Wye (4W+G) systems ensures plug-and-play integration into standard three-phase panels without costly rewiring. NEMA 4 enclosure with internal circuit breaker delivers reliable indoor/outdoor protection, enabling safe installation in damp or harsh environments such as outdoor motor control centers and weather-exposed panels. Standard with a surge counter enables proactive maintenance and trending, improving reliability metrics and simplifying regulatory reporting. RoHS compliance and multiple certifications (UL 1449, UL 1283, CSA) provide regulatory assurance for global deployments, reducing qualification time for new facilities. A 15-year warranty (20 years with Eaton registration) lowers lifecycle risk and supports long-term asset protection for critical processes.

FAQs
The SPM160400Y3R is designed for 230/400 V Wye systems and fits standard single-module surge protection configurations found in common electrical panels and distribution boards. Its NEMA 4 enclosure supports both indoor and protected outdoor installations, simplifying retrofits and new builds for panel builders and field technicians.
Key specifications include a 160 kA per phase surge capacity, 230/400 V Wye (4W+G) voltage rating, and a single-module, compact form factor with an internal circuit breaker. These features deliver robust transient protection while enabling straightforward integration with existing panel infrastructure.
Yes. The device is housed in a NEMA 4 enclosure with an internal circuit breaker, which provides weather resistance and protection against dust and moisture. This makes it suitable for outdoor installation and damp indoor environments typically found near yards, outdoor equipment, and exposed control panels.
The unit carries UL 1449, UL 1283, CSA standards, and CSA Electrical Notice No. 516 as part of its certification set, along with RoHS compliance. These credentials verify electrical safety, performance reliability, and regulatory alignment for global deployments across industries such as manufacturing, energy, and process control.
Investing in the SPM160400Y3R yields improved uptime and asset longevity by mitigating surge damage, lowering repair and replacement costs. Its built-in surge counter supports proactive maintenance planning, while the 15-year warranty (20 years with registration) reduces lifecycle risk and stabilizes long-term operating expenses for production lines and mission-critical equipment.
