FAQs
The SPM200240S3X is designed for 120/240 V split-phase systems and uses an internal terminal block for straightforward wiring. The rugged NEMA 4X enclosure enables outdoor or dirty environments, and the unit weighs about 50 lb, which may influence mounting and service access. Typical installations occur inside electrical panels or protected cabinets, with standard wiring practices for surge protection devices.
The device is rated for 200 kA per phase, providing high-energy surge containment to limit transient voltages that could harm sensors, drives, PLCs, and controllers. This rating translates to reduced risk of downstream equipment damage and lower repair costs after surge events, particularly in facilities with heavy electrical transients or switching loads.
Yes. The unit carries UL 1449 and UL 1283 certifications and CSA Electrical Notice requirements, along with RoHS compliance. These certifications support safer installation in North America and help meet regulatory and industry standards, simplifying procurement and inspection processes.
Best suited for data centers, machine control panels, outdoor electrical cabinets, and manufacturing lines where sensitive electronics and drives are exposed to transients. Its split-phase 120/240 V capability and rugged enclosure make it a versatile choice for both indoor and demanding outdoor industrial environments.
The SPD MAX SPM200240S3X includes a 15-year warranty from delivery and extends to 20 years when registered on Eaton’s site. Maintenance requirements are minimal, with the built-in surge counter enabling routine checks and easy lifecycle planning, contributing to a favorable total cost of ownership.
