Special features
Basic
250 kA per phase single-module design provides robust surge protection for 120/240 V split-phase systems, reducing the likelihood of insulation fault propagation and equipment damage. This high-energy rating translates into measurable uptime improvements for critical automation lines, especially where sensitive drives, PLCs, and sensors operate in harsh electrical environments. In practice, it supports easier panel design by consolidating protection into a single module while maintaining fast response times under transient events. NEMA 4 enclosure with an internal terminal breaker simplifies field wiring and reduces enclosure footprint in panel assemblies. The rugged housing supports outdoor or damp locations, and the integrated breaker streamlines installation, eliminating the need for separate protective accessories. This translates into faster commissioning and fewer wiring errors during maintenance shutdowns. RoHS compliance ensures the SPD MAX device aligns with sustainability goals and reduces restricted material reporting during audits. The absence of hazardous substances in the product supports safer manufacturing and end-of-life recycling processes, a growing consideration for engineers seeking green, compliant protection solutions. UL 1449 and CSA certifications validate safety and performance for industrial control panels and switchgear applications. Coupled with UL 1283 for EMI/RFI protection, these standards help meet regulatory requirements and customer specifications, smoothing procurement cycles and reducing qualification time for new machine builds. Warranty coverage of 15 years from delivery, or 20 years when registered, lowers long-term maintenance risk and total cost of ownership. The 50 lb unit’s dimensions fit standard rack and cabinet footprints, enabling straightforward retrofits into existing architectures without resizing enclosures or rerouting cables. Compatibility and installation ease are further enhanced by a compact single-module form factor and a clearly labeled 120/240 V rating, enabling straightforward drop-in replacement in existing control panels. Its basic configuration minimizes field adjustments, while its documented dimensions help integrators plan cabling routes and early-cost estimates more accurately. This reduces installation risk and speeds project delivery.

FAQs
Install the SPM250240S1T as a single-module surge protector inside the control panel enclosure, ensuring proper line and load connections to the internal terminal breaker. Verify the 120/240 V split-phase wiring, secure the device to the panel, and confirm RoHS-compliant materials are used. The NEMA 4 enclosure supports outdoor or damp locations, aiding straightforward wiring and sealing against environmental ingress.
The device delivers up to 250 kA per phase surge current rating, a high-energy capability that mitigates damaging transient events before they impact critical components like drives and PLCs. This rating translates to improved equipment protection, reduced reboot events, and longer life for sensitive automation assets in demanding environments.
Yes. The unit uses a NEMA 4 enclosure with an internal terminal breaker, designed to withstand outdoor and damp locations while maintaining reliable performance. This makes it a practical choice for panel boards and switchgear mounted in harsh industrial spaces, reducing cabling complexity and improving installation efficiency.
The SPM250240S1T carries UL 1449 and UL 1283 listings, along with CSA Electrical Notices, and RoHS compliance. These certifications support safety, EMI/RFI considerations, and regulatory alignment for industrial control panels, accelerating customer qualification and supplier approval processes.
The device offers a 15-year warranty from delivery, with a 20-year warranty available when registered on Eaton's SPD site. This extended coverage lowers total cost of ownership by reducing replacement frequency, improving uptime, and protecting capital equipment in long-term automation projects.
