250 kA per phase protection with 120/240 V split-phase input delivers high transient absorption, reducing the risk of equipment damage and downtime. Business impact: lower maintenance costs and improved uptime for sensitive loads such as data centers and manufacturing controls. Application: install in service panels and distribution boards where high-energy events are common. NEMA 4X enclosure with internal circuit breaker provides rugged protection in demanding environments and eliminates the need for additional external enclosures. Business impact: faster installation, fewer parts, and greater reliability in outdoor or damp locations. Application: outdoor substations, entry panels, and factory floors that require dependable protection. Surge counter is standard, enabling real-time monitoring of suppression events and easier verification for compliance reporting. Business impact: improved asset tracking and proactive maintenance planning. Application: facilities with QA audits or safety certifications. Certifications including UL 1449, UL 1283, CSA C22.2 No. 8-M1986, and CSA Electrical Notice 516 Ed 1 streamline code acceptance and inspection processes. Business impact: faster project sign-off and reduced revision cycles. Application: regulated environments in both the US and Canada. 15-year warranty from delivery (20 years with registration) and RoHS compliance deliver long-term value and sustainability. Business impact: lower lifecycle cost and easier end-of-life planning. Application: mission-critical installations where long-term protection is essential. Compact footprint and 9.3 in depth, 17.5 in height, 14.91 in width, and 50 lb weight support straightforward panel integration. Business impact: predictable fit in standard electrical spaces and scalable protection for growing facilities. Application: panel retrofits and new builds alike.
