Eaton SPM200240S3R SPD MAX Series Surge Protection - UL 1449
Part Number: SPM200240S3R
Quick Summary
The Eaton SPD MAX surge protection device protects electrical systems from transient spikes in industrial controls and panel boards. Unprotected equipment is prone to nuisance outages, premature component wear, and costly downtime due to voltage transients. It carries UL 1449 and UL 1283 listings along with CSA certification and RoHS compliance for global installations. Designed for 120/240 V systems with a NEMA 4 enclosure and internal breaker, it supports reliable, code-compliant protection with minimal maintenance. Weight and enclosure design simplify retrofit in existing panels and serviceable life is extended by a 15-year warranty. Eaton's surge counter option helps trace incidents for proactive maintenance and fault analysis.

Special features
Standard with surge counter
200 kA per phase surge rating provides robust protection for sensitive loads. This high-energy capacity reduces the risk of damage from voltage transients and minimizes unplanned downtime in production lines. Ideal applications include PLCs, drives, and forming equipment in industrial control panels, where reliability directly affects throughput. Enclosure is a NEMA 4 unit with an internal circuit breaker, enabling reliable operation in harsh environments and simplifying field wiring. This design supports fast installations in new builds or retrofit projects, while reducing the need for external disconnects and minimizing panel space requirements. With a 120/240 V split-phase rating, the SPD MAX unit integrates seamlessly into common US electrical distributions. It supports modular mounting in standard panel assemblies and is designed to align with Eaton's protective device footprints, which helps avoid custom housings and reduces installation errors while enabling straightforward future upgrades. Standard with a surge counter enables ongoing monitoring and traceability of transient events, supporting proactive maintenance and fault analysis. This data aids root-cause investigations and informs ROI calculations by correlating outages with protection levels. Certifications and compliance reinforce risk reduction and global deployment feasibility. UL 1449 and UL 1283 listings, CSA certification, and RoHS compliance confirm safety performance and material suitability for industrial facilities. A 15-year warranty, extended to 20 years with registration, supports long-term lifecycle planning and predictable maintenance budgets. Long-term reliability is enhanced by component-level compatibility with Eaton's modular protection ecosystem, allowing phase-to-phase protection coordination and straightforward expansion as loads grow. The combination of robust surge capacity, reliable disconnect options, and compact integration reduces spare parts variety and simplifies service contracts for facilities engineering teams. Compatibility with retrofits and expansion projects is a key advantage. The unit’s standard dimensions, internal breaker, and clear labeling reduce operational downtime during upgrades and keep maintenance staff aligned with protection strategies. This translates to lower total cost of ownership over the system’s life.

FAQs
To install SPM200240S3R in a 120/240 V split-phase panel, ensure the panel accommodates a standard DIN-rail or similar mounting footprint used by Eaton protection devices, and verify the NEMA 4 enclosure is suitable for the installation environment. The unit includes an internal circuit breaker to simplify wiring and eliminate the need for external disconnects in many setups. Consult the Eaton installation guide for torque values and conductor sizing.
SPM200240S3R delivers 200 kA per phase surge capability, absorbing high-energy transients before they reach sensitive electronics. This protection reduces insulation stress, prevents micro-breakdowns in PLCs and drives, and minimizes nuisance outages. In combination with RoHS, UL 1449 and CSA listings, it ensures safety and reliability in industrial power circuits.
Yes. The 120/240 V split-phase rating and robust enclosure make it suitable for motor drives, conveyors, and machine cells where startup surges and transients are common. Pair it with additional point-of-use devices if needed for multi-stage protection, and ensure proper mounting and clearance as per the spec sheet for optimal performance.
Certifications include UL 1449 and UL 1283 listings, CSA certification, and RoHS compliance. These attest to surge suppression performance, electrical safety, and environmental compliance. This combination supports regulatory compliance, supplier qualification, and safe integration in varied industrial facilities and markets.
The standard warranty is 15 years from delivery, with a 20-year option when registered on Eaton's SPD site. This extended coverage reduces replacement costs and downtime risk. The built-in surge counter provides startup trends and maintenance planning data, helping justify ROI through improved uptime and predictable service costs.
