FAQs
The SPM160600Y1V is engineered specifically for 347/600 V Wye (4W+G) configurations and installs in standard protection schemes within panels, switchgear, or MCCs. Its single-module design simplifies upgrades to existing protection layouts, while the internal circuit breaker supports local isolation during maintenance or fault conditions.
This device provides 160 kA per phase surge capability, enabling robust clamping of transient voltages before they reach sensitive components. By limiting voltage spikes, it protects drives, controllers, and sensors, reducing insulation stress, extending equipment life, and lowering unplanned downtime in manufacturing, data centers, and process facilities.
Yes. The unit’s NEMA 4X enclosure is designed for indoor and outdoor applications, providing weather resistance and protection against dust and moisture. For outdoor installations, ensure proper mounting clearances and network wiring practices per Eaton’s installation guidelines to maintain optimum protection levels.
The SPM160600Y1V carries UL 1449 and UL 1283 certifications, CSA safety notices, and RoHS compliance. These certifications support regulatory compliance, safety audits, and responsible material disposal, making it suitable for regulated industries such as manufacturing, data centers, and utility environments.
By reducing surge-related equipment damage and downtime, the SPM160600Y1V offers a favorable return on investment for mid-to-large facilities with high transient activity. Its basic, reliable design minimizes maintenance needs, while annual inspections and periodic replacement of the device’s protective elements are aligned with typical electrical maintenance programs.
