Special features
Basic
Feature → Business Impact → Application: 250 kA per phase surge rating delivers high-energy transient suppression, reducing the risk of insulated-bus arcing and component damage; this translates to longer equipment life, fewer unplanned outages, and lower replacement costs in manufacturing lines and critical power feeds. Application: panel boards and MCCs in industrial facilities. Feature → 240 delta (4W+G) voltage compatibility ensures accurate protection for specific three-phase systems, minimizing nuisance trips and ensuring compatibility with existing electrical infrastructure; this results in predictable protection performance and smoother commissioning. Application: distribution panels and industrial installations with delta-wye configurations. Feature → Single module design with an internal terminal block simplifies wiring, reduces field labor, and accelerates installation; this lowers commissioning time and minimizes wiring errors in retrofit projects. Application: new builds and upgrade projects. Feature → NEMA 4X enclosure provides dust and moisture resistance, enabling outdoor or damp environments without enclosure degradation; this supports reliability in outdoor substations, loading docks, and exposed panel zones. Application: harsh environments and outdoor installations. Feature → RoHS compliant with UL 1449 and UL 1283 certifications plus CSA listing ensures regulatory alignment and product traceability; this mitigates compliance risk and supports procurement requirements in regulated industries. Application: data centers, healthcare facilities, and regulated manufacturing. Feature → 15-year warranty (20 years with registration) reduces long-term ownership cost and reinforces confidence in life-cycle planning; this supports total cost of ownership and asset management programs. Application: capital planning and service contracts in large facilities.
