Eaton SPM160600D3R Surge Protector MAX - UL 1449
Part Number: SPM160600D3R
Quick Summary
SPM160600D3R is a surge protection device designed for protecting industrial electrical systems in distribution panels and switchgear. Too often, transient spikes cause downtime and equipment damage; this SPD helps reduce risk and repair costs. Designed for 600 Delta (3W+G) and 160 kA per phase, it handles high-energy surges common in modern facilities. UL 1449, UL 1283, and CSA certifications ensure code compliance and dependable protection in demanding environments. RoHS compliance and a NEMA 4 enclosure with an internal circuit breaker simplify installation, reduce maintenance complexity, and lower lifecycle costs. Its 15-year warranty (20 years with registration) underscores long-term value for mission-critical protection. This combination of protection and visibility supports safer operation and easier audits.

Special features
Standard with surge counter
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.

FAQs
For new installations, verify panel clearance and space for a 9.3 in depth, 14.91 in width, and 17.5 in height device. Use RoHS wiring practices, proper conductor sizing, and ensure the internal circuit breaker is correctly wired. The NEMA 4 enclosure supports indoor and outdoor or harsh environments, so plan mounting orientation and accessibility for maintenance per the datasheet.
The 160 kA per phase rating means the device can withstand and divert high-energy transients without letting damaging surges reach protected loads. This reduces motor winding damage, minimizes nuisance tripping, and extends the life of drives, MCCs, and PLC power rails, directly improving uptime and asset longevity in manufacturing and processing facilities.
Yes. The 600 Delta (3W+G) configuration and 160 kA per phase protection are tailored for three-phase systems powering motors and drives. The internal circuit breaker and robust enclosure simplify integration into motor control centers and panelboards, while the RoHS and CSA/UL certifications support compliant, safe operation in demanding production environments.
The SPM160600D3R carries UL 1449 and UL 1283 certifications, along with CSA approvals, and RoHS compliance. These certifications verify electrical safety, performance under transient events, and environmental compliance, facilitating regulatory inspections, procurement qualifications, and warranty eligibility across industrial facilities.
The device carries a 15-year warranty from delivery, extended to 20 years with registration. This long-term coverage reduces total cost of ownership, lowers maintenance surprises, and supports predictable budgeting for protection of critical assets like drives, panels, and manufacturing processes over the equipment lifecycle.
