Special features
Standard with surge counter
250 kA per phase rating delivers robust protection against high-energy transients, reducing the risk of downstream equipment damage and unplanned outages. Business impact: improved uptime, lower spare parts costs, and extended equipment life in critical lines such as motors and drives. Application: ideal for manufacturing cells, packaging lines, and process controls where surge events are common. The 120/208 V Wye configuration (4W+G) supports diverse power distributions, enabling straightforward integration with existing panels and MCCs across facilities. This compatibility reduces installation time and avoids costly rewiring. The NEMA 4X enclosure with an internal circuit breaker provides weatherproof protection and safer maintenance access, even in harsh environments. Business impact: fewer field modications and safer servicing, with faster repair times on site. Application: outdoor electrical rooms, wash-down areas, and production floors near entry points. A standard surge counter enables proactive maintenance planning by tracking surge events, helping technicians schedule replacement before failure. Business impact: proactive asset management and reduced unplanned downtime. Application: facility-wide protection programs and OEM integrations. RoHS compliance supports regulatory alignment and responsible sourcing, while certifications like UL 1449, UL 1283, and CSA notices bolster procurement confidence. Application: regulated industries and government or healthcare facilities requiring formal safety attestations. Warranty coverage of 15 years (20 years with registration) strengthens total cost of ownership by reducing long-term risk and replacement cycles. Business impact: lower lifecycle costs and improved budget predictability. This model also leverages a single-module design for compact installation and straightforward field upgrades, ensuring compatibility with up-to-date protection standards while minimizing downtime during replacement or service.

FAQs
The SPM250208Y3V is designed for 120/208 V Wye systems and fits standard electrical panels and motor control centers (MCCs) with a four-wire plus ground configuration. Its single-module form factor and NEMA 4X enclosure simplify installation in both indoor and outdoor environments, reducing the need for panel redesigns and enabling quick upgrades to existing protection schemes.
This device provides up to 250 kA per phase protection, absorbing transient energy from surges before they reach sensitive loads. Protection is enhanced by a built-in surge counter for monitoring activity. For loads such as drives, PLCs, and relays, this translates to fewer surge-induced failures and longer service life, especially in electrical rooms exposed to grid disturbances.
Yes. With a 120/208 V Wye configuration and a NEMA 4X enclosure, the SPM250208Y3V is well-suited for data centers, panel boards, and motor control centers. Its rugged enclosure and internal circuit breaker provide safety and reliable protection in both controlled environments and rugged industrial spaces, helping protect critical IT and automation assets.
The product carries UL 1449 and UL 1283 certifications, along with CSA notices, offering recognized safety and performance benchmarks for surge protection devices. These certifications support compliance with electrical safety programs, reduce procurement risk, and facilitate acceptance in regulated industries and government projects.
The SPD MAX device is warranted for 15 years from delivery, extending to 20 years when registered on Eaton’s site. This long-term warranty lowers total cost of ownership by reducing replacement frequency and maintenance interruptions, while the built-in surge counter enables proactive asset management to optimize maintenance budgets.
