Feature → Business Impact → Application: 250 kA per phase protection delivers high-energy surge handling, reducing the risk of catastrophic equipment damage and field failures, which translates to lower repair costs and less downtime in manufacturing lines. This capability supports uptime metrics across critical power rails, safeguarding PLCs, drives, and motor control centers in harsh environments. Application-wise, the 120/240 V split-phase rating fits many commercial and light-industrial panels, while the NEMA 4X enclosure with internal breaker simplifies installation and serviceability, cutting labor time during commissioning and fault isolation. Compatibility with the Eaton SPD MAX family ensures consistent performance metrics across multiple panels, helping procurement standardize components and simplify spare parts stock. This device also aligns with RoHS compliance, limiting hazardous substances and easing regulatory reporting. In practice, users report smoother maintenance cycles and clearer troubleshooting paths thanks to built-in protection layers and straightforward diagnostics.

FAQs
The SPM250240S1V is designed for 120/240 V systems in industrial panels and control centers. It uses a 250 kA per phase rating to handle high-energy surges, and its NEMA 4X enclosure with internal breaker makes it suitable for harsh environments where ingress protection and quick fault isolation are required. It integrates smoothly with existing protection schemes for motors, PLCs, and drives, helping improve overall uptime.
This surge protector complies with UL 1283 and UL 1449 as core safety standards, and is referenced by CSA certifications for electrical safety. These certifications verify robust surge handling, fault protection, and safe operation in industrial environments, providing confidence to procurement teams and reducing regulatory risk during audits.
The internal circuit breaker enables quick isolation of the SPD during maintenance or fault events, reducing downtime and easing troubleshooting. This feature eliminates the need for external disconnects in many installations and supports safer service procedures, while simplifying compliance checks during routine electrical inspections.
Plan for outdoor or damp environments where NEMA 4X protection is beneficial. Ensure the panel space accommodates a single module with adequate clearance for routine inspection and wiring accessibility. The SPM250240S1V is designed for straightforward mounting in standard Eaton protection schemes, reducing complexity during retrofits or new builds.
The device carries a long warranty compatible with professional service cycles, reflecting its rugged construction and reliability. ROI benefits come from reduced downtime, longer life of downstream equipment, and lower maintenance costs due to fewer nuisance outages, making it a prudent choice for facility managers seeking steady power protection investments.
