Special features
Basic
High surge capacity protects critical loads: The SPM200208Y1S delivers up to 200 kA per phase through a two-module Max series design, providing robust defense against lightning and switching surges. This translates to fewer penetrations of surge energy into PLCs, drives, and sensors, reducing unplanned downtime and maintenance costs in manufacturing lines. Rugged enclosure and built-in breaker simplify installation and maintenance: The NEMA 4 enclosure with an internal circuit breaker allows exterior mounting and straightforward service isolation, lowering field wiring complexity and improving safety during maintenance windows. This is especially valuable in harsh environments where quick access to protection is essential. Voltage compatibility and modular protection: Rated for 120/208 V Wye (4W+G) with two modules, the unit supports easy retrofits and staged protection for evolving automation panels, enabling seamless integration with existing distribution gear. Regulatory compliance and lifecycle value: RoHS compliant and UL/CSA listed, the SPD aligns with international standards, while a 15-year warranty (20 years when registered) lowers long-term ownership costs and reinforces confidence in protection performance. Installation confidence and ROI: The basic protection features, rugged construction, and clear wiring paths reduce commissioning time, minimize fault-related downtime, and support continued production reliability in industrial automation settings.

FAQs
To install the SPM200208Y1S, power down the system and verify the wiring to a 4W+G 120/208 V supply. Mount the unit inside a suitable enclosure, connect the two modules per the panel’s distribution layout, and utilize the internal circuit breaker for rapid isolation during maintenance. Ensure adequate clearance and proper grounding, then re-energize and test for suppression performance. Follow manufacturer wiring diagrams for safe integration with PLCs and drives.
The 200 kA per phase rating indicates the SPD MAX can safely absorb large transient currents per phase during high-energy events, such as severe lightning or switching surges. This high rating reduces the likelihood that a surge will penetrate protection and reach sensitive devices like PLCs, drives, and sensors, helping prevent equipment damage and unplanned downtime.
Yes. The SPM200208Y1S is designed for harsh industrial environments and supports 120/208 V Wye systems common in automation panels and data-center feeder applications. The dual-module design, NEMA 4 enclosure, and built-in circuit breaker provide robust protection for critical equipment, while certifications and RoHS compliance meet stringent industry standards required in data centers and manufacturing plants.
The unit is RoHS compliant and UL 1449 and UL 1283 listed, with CSA Electrical Notice NO. 516 Edition 1 and CSA Std. C22.2 No. 8-M1986 certifications. These registrations confirm safety, reliability, and regulatory compliance for electrical protection devices used in industrial and commercial installations, supporting code conformance and supplier assurance.
Eaton provides a 15-year warranty from delivery, extended to 20 years when registered on the Eaton SPD site. This long-term coverage reduces lifecycle risk and maintenance costs, while the internal circuit breaker simplifies service and testing. The combination of rugged construction, certifications, and a long warranty translates to lower total cost of ownership and higher protection confidence.
