FAQs
Plan for adequate space and proper mounting to accommodate the 9.3 in depth, 17.5 in height, and 14.91 in width. Verify that the panel voltage rating matches 230/400 V Wye, observe clearance for heat dissipation, and use the internal circuit breaker for safe isolation during maintenance per Eaton wiring diagrams.
A 160 kA per phase rating indicates the SPD can absorb large transient spikes without failing, protecting PLCs, motor drives, and drives from unexpected surges. It minimizes nuisance trips and reduces wear on downstream electronics, contributing to longer component life and fewer field outages.
Yes. The unit is housed in a NEMA 4X enclosure designed for harsh environments, including outdoor and wash-down areas. This enclosure provides weather resistance and safety during maintenance, while the internal circuit breaker enables quick local isolation when servicing equipment.
The SPD carries UL 1449 and UL 1283 listings, CSA compliance, and RoHS. These certifications support electrical and safety compliance in regulated industries, simplify audits, and help ensure compatibility with North American electrical codes and supplier qualification programs.
The 15-year warranty (20 years with registration) reduces long-term maintenance risk and replacement costs. Coupled with reduced downtime and extended asset life, the SPM160400Y3V lowers total cost of ownership by protecting critical loads, improving productivity, and simplifying lifecycle planning for panel-based protection strategies.
