Eaton SPM160480Y3V Surge Protection Device - NEMA 4X
Part Number: SPM160480Y3V
Quick Summary
The Eaton SPM160480Y3V surge protection device safeguards electrical systems from transient overvoltage in industrial power networks. When surges strike, inadequate protection translates to costly downtime and frequent equipment failures. UL 1449 and UL 1283 certifications, CSA standard C22.2 No. 8, and RoHS compliance provide regulatory assurance and risk reduction. Designed for 277/480 V Wye systems with a built-in surge counter and a robust NEMA 4X enclosure, it supports easy integration, reliable maintenance, and scalable protection across facilities. Coupled with a 15-year warranty (20 years when registered) and 160 kA per phase rating, it delivers long-term value for critical infrastructure. This combination supports compliance audits and reduces total cost of ownership over equipment life.
