FAQs
Start by confirming a 230/400 V four-wire plus ground configuration and ensure clearance for a 9.3 in L x 17.5 in H x 14.91 in W enclosure. Mount in a suitable cabinet or on a panel with the internal terminal block wired per the Eaton wiring diagram. Verify RoHS compliance and secure the unit in its NEMA 4X enclosure to withstand indoor or outdoor conditions. Finally, connect to the system neutral and ground per local codes and document the surge counter readings for ongoing protection monitoring.
160 kA per phase indicates the maximum surge current each phase can handle without compromising protection. This rating supports high-energy transient events typical in industrial settings, reducing the likelihood of device damage, nuisance tripping, or electrical noise affecting sensitive equipment. In practice, it translates to greater resilience for drives, PLCs, sensors, and automation peripherals during lightning strikes or utility spikes.
Yes. The SPM160400Y3X uses a NEMA 4X enclosure designed for robust exposure to dust, water, and temperature variations. With an internal terminal block, mounting is streamlined for factory floors, outdoor panels, or protected enclosures. Its 230/400 V Wye rating and four-wire + ground configuration make it versatile for motor control centers, switchgear, and industrial automation installations.
The unit is UL 1449 and UL 1283 listed, with CSA Electrical Notice No. 516 Edition 1 and CSA Std. C22.2 No. 8-M1986 referenced in its certification profile. RoHS compliance is included to meet environmental standards. These certifications validate safety, performance, and regulatory readiness for North American facilities, facilitating procurement approvals and commissioning without additional testing.
Maintenance is simplified by the built-in surge counter, enabling easy monitoring of surge events and asset protection performance. The 15-year warranty (20 years with registration) provides long-term protection, reducing replacement costs and downtime. ROI comes from extended equipment life, fewer unplanned outages, and easier compliance reporting, especially in facilities with rigorous uptime and regulatory requirements.
