The SPM250400Y3V delivers 250 kA per phase surge handling, reducing equipment damage and unplanned downtime in high-energy industrial environments. This translates to longer component life and lower maintenance costs, enabling your manufacturing lines to run with greater predictability and fewer interruptions. Its single-module form simplifies installation in 230/400V Wye systems, reducing panel space requirements and wiring complexity while maintaining full protection coverage for critical loads. The NEMA 4X enclosure with an internal circuit breaker provides rugged, outdoor-ready protection against dust, moisture, and corrosion, empowering safer commissioning and maintenance in harsh environments. A built-in surge counter supports proactive maintenance planning by logging events, improving asset management and compliance auditing. The RoHS-compliant design and UL/CSA certifications minimize regulatory risk while supporting sustainable, cost-conscious operations. A long warranty—15 years, with 20 years when registered—lowers lifecycle costs and enhances total cost of ownership for critical protection upgrades.

FAQs
The SPM250400Y3V is designed for 230/400V Wye (4W+G) installations and fits standard electrical panels. Ensure proper bonding and grounding, allocate space for the 9.3 in depth, 17.5 in height, and 14.91 in width enclosure, and connect per the supplier’s wiring diagram. The internal circuit breaker simplifies start-up and reduces panel modifications, enabling straightforward retrofits or new installs with consistent protective coverage.
A 250 kA per phase rating indicates the SPD can safely absorb a very large surge energy event without failing, protecting downstream equipment such as programmable logic controllers, drives, and relays. This high rating reduces the likelihood of nuisance outages and component damage during lightning events or switching transients, supporting higher line stability in demanding manufacturing environments.
Yes. The unit uses a NEMA 4X enclosure designed to resist dust, water, and corrosion, making it suitable for outdoor cabinets, loading docks, and exposed facility areas. The internal circuit breaker adds an extra layer of safety and ease of maintenance, while the rugged construction helps sustain protection performance in challenging environments and temperature variations.
The SPM250400Y3V carries UL 1449, CSA Electrical Notice No. 516, CSA Std. C22.2 No. 8-M1986, and RoHS compliance. These certifications validate safety, electrical performance, and environmental compliance, reducing regulatory risk for food, pharma, and heavy industry facilities. This certification set supports code compliance reviews, procurement standards, and acceptance by electrical engineers during system design reviews.
The product includes a 15-year warranty from delivery, extending to 20 years when registered on Eaton’s SPD portal. This extended coverage lowers long-term maintenance and replacement costs, improves budgeting accuracy for protective devices, and enhances ROI by reducing unexpected repair expenses in critical protection installations.
