FAQs
The SPM200208Y4R is designed for 120/208 V wye (4W+G) systems, making it a natural fit for standard electrical distribution panels, motor control centers, and feeder cabinets. Its Power Xpert SPD integration supports straightforward retrofits and new installations, reducing wiring complexity and enabling quick start-up after commissioning.
A rating of 200 kA per phase indicates the device can absorb substantial surge energy without compromising protection. This translates to higher resilience against transient events, minimizes downstream damage, and lowers the risk of nuisance trips in facilities with high spike activity such as manufacturing lines and data centers.
Yes. The SPM200208Y4R uses a NEMA 4 enclosure, which is designed to withstand wet and dusty conditions, making it appropriate for outdoor installations and rugged plant floors. The internal circuit breaker also supports quick isolation during maintenance or fault conditions, improving safety and uptime.
Plan for a footprint of 15 in width by 9.5 in depth and a height of 17.05 in, with an approximate weight of 52 lb. Ensure proper clearances for servicing, mount near the protected loads, and verify panel wiring compatibility with 4W+G connections. The internal circuit breaker aids in safe isolation during service.
UL 1449 listing ensures compliance with essential surge protection standards, supporting reliability programs and safety audits. Ongoing maintenance focuses on periodic inspection, ensuring enclosure seals remain intact, and replacing SPD modules after significant surge events to maintain optimal protection levels.
