Eaton SPM160600D3X Surge Protection Device - UL 1283

Feature → Business Impact → Application The SPM160600D3X delivers 160 kA per phase protection in a compact Max series module, reducing the risk of equipment damage during high-energy transients and enabling predictable uptime in critical power circuits. This level of protection translates to lower maintenance costs, fewer unplanned outages, and improved warranty coverage for downstream equipment such as PLCs and drives in manufacturing lines, packaging, and process control rooms. The 600 Delta (3W+G) configuration supports three-phase with ground systems, simplifying wiring in standard plant power layouts and ensuring consistent protection across motor control centers and switchgear. The NEMA 4X enclosure with an internal terminal block provides weatherproof, corrosion-resistant deployment for both indoor and outdoor installations, minimizing field retrofit needs and safeguarding terminations from environmental exposure. A built-in surge counter offers real-time insight into surge activity, supporting proactive maintenance and asset management programs. RoHS compliance further ensures reduced hazardous substances in installed systems, aiding supplier audits and sustainability goals. The durable, UL-listed protection and CSA certification reassure procurement and engineering teams when integrating this unit into critical infrastructure, while a 15-year warranty (20 years with registration) delivers long-term value and risk reduction. Practical installation notes include ample clearance for heat dissipation, compatible conduits and conduit fittings, and straightforward wiring schemes that reduce commissioning time and errors in panel builds.
