Special features
Basic
The SPM160480D1T delivers 160 kA per phase surge protection for 480 Delta (3W+G) systems, providing a robust line-to-load shield that minimizes the risk of catastrophic component failure and unscheduled downtime in industrial facilities. This protection translates to fewer outages, reduced replacement costs for drives and controllers, and improved process uptime, especially in high-impedance environments where transient events are frequent. The 3W+G configuration supports comprehensive protection for both line and ground paths, ensuring voltage transients do not propagate into sensitive controls or motors. In practical terms, manufacturers experience longer equipment life, steadier process control, and lower maintenance overhead when integrating this SPD MAX solution. The NEMA 4 enclosure with an internal terminal breaker simplifies installation and retrofit projects, shielding the protection circuitry from dust, moisture, and harsh factory conditions while enabling straightforward service access for preventive maintenance. With 9.3 in depth, 17.5 in height, 14.91 in width, and a 50 lb footprint, it fits moderate to large electrical cabinets without compromising accessibility. The device comes RoHS compliant and carries UL 1283 and UL 1449 listings along with CSA certification, reinforcing conformity with global electrical standards. A 15-year warranty (20 years with registration) further reduces total cost of ownership by supporting long-term reliability and predictable budgeting for plant protection programs. Practically, this SPD MAX module is compatible with Eaton's broader surge protection ecosystem, streamlining spare parts planning and service alignment for facilities upgrading multiple protection points across lines and panels.

FAQs
Install requires isolating the circuit, verifying power-off status, and mounting the SPD MAX module in a protected enclosure. The unit features a NEMA 4 enclosure and an internal terminal breaker for straightforward wiring and maintenance. Ensure proper phase-to-ground connections and follow Eaton’s installation guidelines to maintain UL/CSA compliance and preserve the 160 kA per phase rating.
The SPM160480D1T provides 160 kA per phase protection for 480 Delta (3W+G) configurations. This high rating helps absorb transient spikes from motors, drives, and heavy switches, reducing the likelihood of downstream damage and extending the life of protected equipment in industrial environments.
Yes, for facilities with 480 V delta power and demanding loads, the SPM160480D1T offers robust surge protection, RoHS compliance, and UL/CSA listings that support mission-critical applications. For data centers, verify power architecture and compatibility with any data-center-specific protections; for manufacturing lines, the device supports drives, PLCs, and motor controls with high transient exposure.
The device is RoHS compliant and UL listed under 1283 and 1449, with CSA certification. These listings attest to safety performance under standard surge and fault conditions, helping facilities meet regulatory and corporate safety requirements while reducing risk across electrical protection systems.
Eaton backs the SPM160480D1T with a 15-year warranty, extending to 20 years when registered on Eaton's SPD site. This long-term coverage lowers maintenance costs, minimizes replacement cycles, and improves plant reliability—key factors in total cost of ownership and return-on-investment for protection programs.
