Eaton SPM160600D3R Surge Protector MAX - UL 1449

With a 160 kA per phase surge capacity and a 600 Delta (3W+G) configuration, the SPM160600D3R absorbs and clamps extreme transients before they reach critical loads. This capability translates into fewer motor winding failures, reduced nuisance tripping, and extended life for drives, MCCs, and PLC power rails in manufacturing lines and distribution centers. Engineers can specify it for new builds or upgrades in data centers, processing facilities, and heavy manufacturing, where uptime directly drives throughput. The NEMA 4 enclosure combined with an internal circuit breaker simplifies installation in wet, dusty, or outdoor environments and reduces the need for external disconnects. Technicians can perform service and testing without exposing live conductors, improving safety and maintenance efficiency. The rugged enclosure also supports mounting flexibility in compact switchgear configurations and aligns with standard panel architectures. Standard with a built-in surge counter provides visibility into surge events, enabling data-driven maintenance scheduling and trend analysis. This feature supports reliability programs by correlating transient activity with equipment wear and energy costs across the plant. In practice, the counter aids root-cause analysis after faults and simplifies reporting for audits. Compliance and certification are core to risk management; this device carries UL 1449 and UL 1283, along with CSA approvals, and RoHS compliance. Meeting these standards helps with regulatory inspections, supplier qualifications, and long-term warranty eligibility. RoHS ensures environmental compliance while simplifying disposal at end of life, reducing total cost of ownership. Physical layout and footprint align with common electrical rooms: 9.3 in depth, 14.91 in width, 17.5 in height, and about 50 lb. The compact, rugged form supports straightforward installation on standard panels and integration with the SPD MAX family for scalable protection. Its three-wire plus ground configuration and compatibility with typical 600 Delta (3W+G) systems reduce wiring complexity and commissioning time. Warranty of 15 years from delivery and up to 20 years when registered provides predictable total cost of ownership for mission-critical protection across data centers, manufacturing lines, and processing equipment. The device's compatibility with Eaton's SPD MAX line ensures easier engineering standardization and spare-part sourcing across multiple projects. This combination of protection, reliability, and lifecycle value makes it suitable for mission-critical electrical systems in harsh industrial environments.
