Standard with surge counter
High current protection enables robust defense against transients; the 160 kA per phase rating protects sensitive drives, PLCs, and servo systems, reducing unplanned downtime and replacement costs in demanding automation environments. This translates to longer asset life and lower total cost of ownership across manufacturing lines that rely on motor drives and critical sensors. The NEMA 4 enclosure with an internal circuit breaker provides reliable performance in washdown rooms, outdoors, and harsh industrial locales, minimizing corrosion risk and eliminating the need for external housings. A standard surge counter delivers actionable visibility for maintenance teams and compliance reporting, supporting traceability during audits and system commissioning. Certifications including UL 1449, UL 1283, and CSA approvals assure regulatory compliance for panel builders and OEM integrators across global facilities. The RoHS compliant design simplifies procurement and sustainability reporting while maintaining high protective performance. The single‑module Max series format reduces installation complexity and accelerates deployment in retrofits and new builds. The 480 Delta (3W+G) configuration supports three‑phase power protection with ground reference, ensuring balanced protection across all phases. This device is designed to deliver reliable surge suppression without requiring extensive extra hardware, helping project timelines stay on track and risk remain controlled.

FAQs

The SPM160480D3R is Eaton’s surge protection device designed to guard 480 V delta three‑phase systems with a ground. It clamps transient overvoltages, protecting sensitive equipment such as PLCs, drives, and controllers from damaging surges, electrical noise, and lightning events. Its 160 kA per phase capability ensures robust protection for high‑energy events common in industrial environments.
Yes. The unit features a NEMA 4 enclosure with an internal circuit breaker that provides weather and washdown resistance, making it appropriate for outdoor panels, damp environments, and harsh industrial sites. This enclosure design minimizes the need for additional protective housings and simplifies installation in exposed locations.
The SPM160480D3R carries UL 1449, UL 1283, and CSA listings, along with RoHS compliance. These certifications verify safety, electrical compatibility, and regulatory adherence, which are essential for OEM approvals, code compliance, and reliable performance in mission‑critical systems across North America and global facilities.
The 160 kA per phase rating provides high surge current capacity, allowing the device to absorb large transient events without failing. In 480 Delta (3W+G) networks, this translates to stronger protection for motors, drives, and control electronics, reducing the likelihood of nuisance tripping and minimizing downtime during peak transients or indirect lightning events.
Eaton offers a 15‑year warranty from delivery, extending to 20 years with registration, signaling strong long‑term protection. The ROI comes from reduced unplanned maintenance, longer asset life for motors and drives, fewer panel failures, and easier compliance reporting, making the SPM160480D3R a cost‑effective choice for asset‑intensive facilities.
