FAQs
The SPM200240S3U is designed for 120/240 V split-phase panels. Installation involves coordinating the two-module SPD with the main distribution panel, wiring to the internal terminals, and securing the NEMA 4 enclosure. Ensure the panel space accommodates its 9.3 in depth, 14.91 in width, and 17.5 in height, and verify compatible bus and lug configurations per Eaton guidelines.
200 kA per phase indicates the maximum fault current the SPD can safely divert per phase without failure. This level supports high-energy surges typically seen in industrial environments, reducing the likelihood of thermal or electrical damage to protected equipment. It translates to improved uptime and lower risk of costly repairs during major transient events.
Yes, the SPD uses a NEMA 4 enclosure, designed for waterproof and dust-tight protection, enabling installation in outdoor or damp environments. The internal terminal breaker adds an added layer of safety during servicing. This combination supports reliable operation in harsh industrial settings where weather and contamination exposure are concerns.
The SPM200240S3U carries UL 1283 and UL 1449 listings along with CSA C22.2 No. 8-M1986, and CSA Electrical Notice No. 516. These certifications validate electrical safety, performance under surge conditions, and compliance with recognized standards, reducing procurement risk and simplifying regulatory approvals for industrial installations.
With a standard surge counter and a durable NEMA 4 enclosure, maintenance planning centers on periodic counter readings, visual inspections, and serviceability of the internal terminal breaker. ROI comes from lower unplanned downtime, reduced equipment damage, and longer asset life, delivering cost savings over the unit’s 15 to 20-year warranty window when registered.
