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.

FAQs
What mounting and wiring steps are recommended for installing the SPM160600D3X in a 3W+G delta system? Use the internal terminal block for clean, secure terminations. Verify panel clearance for heat dissipation, route cables to minimize interference, and follow manufacturer torque specs on lugs. The rugged NEMA 4X enclosure protects exposed terminations and facilitates outdoor or washdown environments without additional housings.
The device offers 160 kA per phase protection with a 3W+G delta configuration, designed to clamp transient voltages and divert surge energy away from protected loads. This rating supports reliable protection for power distribution panels, control cabinets, and sensitive drives, reducing the likelihood of device failure during utility or switching surges.
Yes. The SPM160600D3X is housed in a NEMA 4X enclosure with an internal terminal block, enabling installation in outdoor locations or damp/washdown environments common in manufacturing and process facilities while maintaining safe, accessible wiring and terminations.
This model is UL 1283 and UL 1449 listed, with CSA certification and RoHS compliance. These certifications support regulatory alignment for electrical protection devices, and the enclosure and construction meet industry expectations for rugged, compliant protection in commercial and industrial settings.
By limiting transient damage and extending the life of downstream equipment, the SPM160600D3X reduces downtime and maintenance costs. Features like the built-in surge counter support ongoing monitoring and proactive maintenance planning, while the long warranty offers risk reduction and predictable budgeting for asset protection across facilities.
