High-energy surge capability: The SPM160600Y4R delivers up to 160 kA per phase, enabling robust protection for sensitive equipment against large line surges. This translates to fewer unplanned outages and extended life for downstream components, particularly in high-energy environments like metal fabrication, packaging lines, and data centers. The business impact is clear: improved reliability, lower maintenance costs, and greater uptime for critical processes. Application: suitable for panelboards and motor drives where heavy transient activity is common. 347/600 V Wye configuration: The 4W+G setup supports neutral-inclusive three-phase systems, simplifying wiring and panel design while delivering predictable protection for controls, PLCs, and drives. This reduces installation time and wiring mistakes, accelerating project timelines and improving compliance with electrical standards. Application: manufacturing floors and process lines with mixed-voltage equipment. NEMA 4 enclosure with internal circuit breaker: The rugged enclosure protects against dust, water, and corrosion in harsh environments, while an integrated circuit breaker streamlines maintenance and minimizes external components. This leads to safer field service and faster fault isolation. Application: outdoor installations and dirty environments where quick service is essential. UL 1449 listing: Certification to UL 1449 confirms proven performance and reliability, supporting regulatory and safety compliance for electrical protection devices. Application: essential for approved data centers, facilities, and regulated industries. Installation footprint and compatibility: With dimensions of 9.5 in depth, 17.05 in height, and 15 in width, it fits standard enclosures and pairs with Eaton’s Power Xpert SPD ecosystem for centralized monitoring and management. This enables scalable protection across multiple panels and facilities. Business value: straightforward integration, simplified maintenance, and a clear upgrade path for growing protection requirements.
