Feature: 250 kA per phase surge rating provides robust protection against high-energy transients that threaten sensitive loads. Business impact: minimizes unplanned downtime, extends drive and controller life, and lowers replacement costs. Application: ideal for motor drives, PLCs, and automation panels across manufacturing lines and process facilities. Feature: 230 V single-phase operation aligns with typical plant feeders, simplifying wiring, panel layouts, and spare parts planning. Business impact: accelerates project timelines, lowers install labor, and reduces commissioning risk. Application: ideal for control panels, machine centers, conveyors, and manufacturing lines where standard 230 VAC feeds are prevalent. Feature: NEMA 4 enclosure with an internal circuit breaker provides rugged protection and built-in safety interlocks. Business impact: minimizes exposure to moisture, dust, and corrosion; reduces maintenance visits by enabling self-contained protection and straightforward fault isolation. Application: outdoor substations, wash-down environments, and damp factory floors where harsh conditions demand dependable protection. Feature: UL 1449 listing confirms compliance with safety and performance standards for surge protection devices. Business impact: bolsters regulatory acceptance, helps with procurement audits, and supports risk management programs. Application: integral to industrial control cabinets, electrical rooms, and OEM equipment where formal certification simplifies customer approvals and service contracts. Feature: Compact footprint and measured weight support flexible mounting and easy replacement in space-constrained panels (9.5 in depth, 15 in width, 17.05 in height; 52 lb). Business impact: enables straightforward installation, retrofit success, and scalable protection for mid-size facilities. Application: retrofits and new builds in space‑limited enclosures; integrates with Power Xpert SPD for centralized protection.

FAQs
Yes. The SPM250230L4R is designed for 230 V single-phase distribution common in many Eaton environments and works with typical control cabinets and Power Xpert SPD ecosystems. Its NEMA 4 enclosure supports rugged installations, and the internal circuit breaker simplifies integration, testing, and maintenance without requiring additional protection modules.
The device offers a 250 kA per phase surge rating, absorbing high-energy transients that could otherwise damage drives, PLCs, and controllers. This rating translates to reduced risk of component failure, fewer unplanned outages, and lower replacement costs. It is particularly effective for equipment with sensitive electronics and high restart costs in manufacturing lines.
Absolutely. The SPM250230L4R features a rugged NEMA 4 enclosure designed to resist moisture, dust, and corrosive exposure. This makes it suitable for outdoor substations, wash-down areas, and damp factory floors, providing reliable protection where harsh conditions are common and maintaining uptime in exposed installations.
The SPM250230L4R is UL 1449 listed, confirming adherence to recognized safety and performance standards for surge protection devices. It carries a robust enclosure rating (NEMA 4) for harsh environments and is built to integrate within regulatory control cabinets and OEM assemblies, supporting audits, safety programs, and procurement requirements.
The SPD’s internal circuit breaker and integrated protection reduce maintenance complexity and spare parts needs. Its compatibility with Power Xpert SPD ecosystems enables centralized monitoring and faster diagnostics, which lowers downtime, extends asset life, and improves ROI for mid-size facilities through fewer outages and simpler service programs.
