FAQs
The SPM160480D1R is specifically designed for 480 V Delta three-wire-plus-ground systems and ships as a single module compatible with standard control panels. Its compact footprint supports straightforward mounting, while the internal circuit breaker simplifies panel wiring and reduces installation time. This makes it a practical choice for new installations and panel retrofits in industrial facilities.
SPM160480D1R provides 160 kA per phase surge rating for 480 Delta (3W+G) systems. This high-energy capability clamps transients and diverts surge energy away from downstream drives, motors, and controllers, significantly reducing the risk of equipment failure and unplanned downtime in high-demand manufacturing environments.
Yes. The device uses a NEMA 4 enclosure with an internal circuit breaker, offering moisture and dust resistance suitable for tough plant floors and outdoor-rated panels. RoHS-compliant design supports cleaner manufacturing practices, while the rugged build minimizes maintenance needs and protects critical electrical assets in demanding environments.
The SPM160480D1R is UL 1449 and UL 1283 listed, with CSA Electrical Notice 516 and related CSA standards. These certifications verify electrical safety and performance under surge conditions, easing regulatory approvals, audit readiness, and regional deployment while aligning with industry best practices for safety and reliability.
The unit carries a 15-year warranty from delivery, with a 20-year option when registered on Eaton's SPD site. This extended coverage, paired with reduced downtime, longer equipment life, and fewer unplanned outages, lowers lifecycle costs and enhances budgeting certainty for asset-intensive facilities.
