Special features
Basic
Feature: The SPM160600Y1R delivers 160 kA per phase surge capability, providing robust protection for sensitive automation loads. Business Impact: This margin reduces the risk of equipment damage, nuisance trips, and unplanned downtime during utility disturbances. Application: Protects PLCs, motor drives, and control panels in challenging manufacturing, processing, and packaging environments. Feature: NEMA 4 enclosure with an internal circuit breaker delivers reliable protection in harsh, dusty, and wet environments. Business Impact: Sealed enclosures reduce ingress risk and simplify field maintenance, while the internal breaker enables swift isolation of faults. Application: Ideal for outdoor installations, process areas, and retrofit projects where cabinet protection matters. Feature: Voltage rating of 347/600 V Wye (4W+G) aligns with common industrial power networks, delivering reliable protection across multiple lines. Business Impact: Eliminates the need for custom transformers or adapters, reducing upfront system integration costs. Application: Suitable for motor control centers, packaging lines, and processing equipment connected to 347/600 V distribution. Feature: RoHS compliant with broad regulatory alignment and UL/CSA certifications. Business Impact: Supports sustainability goals and maintains compliance across supplier audits. Application: Use in OEM panels, machine builders, and end-user facilities that require traceable certifications. Feature: Comprehensive warranty and service coverage enhances lifecycle protection. Business Impact: Lowers total cost of ownership by reducing unexpected service expenses and replacement cycles. Application: Valuable for procurement teams seeking long-term value and predictable maintenance budgets. Feature: Mechanical footprint and mounting compatibility facilitate efficient layout planning. Business Impact: Predictable installation space prevents project delays and cabinet crowding. Application: Retrofit projects and new builds across industrial plants with standard mounting footprints.

FAQs
Plan for a standard panel footprint suitable for a 14.91 inch wide, 17.5 inch tall enclosure in a protected indoor or sheltered outdoor location. Verify wiring gauges match the device’s single-module protection and ensure appropriate clearances for service access and the internal circuit breaker. The 347/600 V Wye rating aligns with common industrial feeders, simplifying integration without transformers.
Yes. The unit is RoHS compliant and carries UL 1283 and UL 1449 certifications, along with CSA Electrical Notice NO. 516 Edition 1. This combination supports regulatory compliance in most North American facilities and aligns with supplier audits and environmental goals.
Industrial control panels, motor drives, and PLC-based automation systems on 347/600 V Wye networks benefit most. The 160 kA per phase rating provides a strong safety margin for mission-critical loads, reducing nuisance trips and protecting sensitive electronics in manufacturing, process, and packaging environments.
The device carries a 15-year warranty from delivery, extending to 20 years if registered on Eaton’s SPD portal. This long-term coverage helps stabilize maintenance budgets and lowers lifecycle risk, supported by Eaton’s field service and technical resources for installation and ongoing protection.
A higher surge rating reduces the likelihood of damage to critical loads during surge events, lowering replacement costs and downtime. Over time, this translates to saved maintenance costs, improved equipment life, and more predictable production schedules, especially in facilities with volatile power quality or frequent disturbances.
