Eaton SPM300208Y1X SPD MAX Surge Protection Device - UL 1283 / UL 1449 Listed
Part Number: SPM300208Y1X
Quick Summary
The Eaton SPM300208Y1X SPD MAX surge protection device protects 120/208 V systems with robust surge protection for industrial and commercial power distribution. When transient spikes strike, unprotected equipment can suffer downtime, failed components, and increased maintenance costs; this device mitigates those risks by diverting surges away from vital loads. With UL 1283 and UL 1449 listings and CSA certification, plus RoHS compliance, it meets stringent safety and environmental standards for regulated facilities. Designed for reliable, long-term operation, it also supports straightforward integration with existing panel infrastructure, delivering peace of mind and lower total cost of ownership for facilities managers and electrical engineers.

The 300 kA per phase rating provides high-energy surge handling, reducing the likelihood of nuisance trips and protecting critical devices in motors, drives, and control circuits. This translates to measurable uptime improvements and longer equipment life in demanding environments. The 120/208 V Wye configuration (4W+G) ensures compatibility with common industrial power layouts, simplifying installation and minimizing wiring complexity while enabling accurate protect-by-design strategies. The NEMA 4X enclosure with an internal terminal block offers durable outdoor and harsh-environment performance, reducing site refurbishment costs and simplifying mounting in demanding installations. The unit ships standard with a surge counter, enabling proactive maintenance planning and easier regulatory reporting. A RoHS-compliant design and recognized certifications reassure procurement teams about compliance and environmental responsibility. The compact single-module form factor, combined with a 50 lb weight and 9.3 in depth, 17.5 in height, and 14.91 in width, supports easy retrofits and scalable protection across multiple panels. The 15-year warranty (20 years with Eaton registration) provides long-term confidence in system protection and total cost of ownership.

FAQs
The SPM300208Y1X uses a single-module format with an internal terminal block inside a NEMA 4X enclosure. Plan for panel space and clearances, terminate conductors with appropriate gauge, and follow the included Eaton wiring diagram. Ensure ground continuity and proper mounting to achieve the rated surge protection without overheating or voltage drop concerns.
A 300 kA per phase rating indicates the device can safely absorb or divert large transient currents per phase without compromising its integrity. This translates to higher protection for equipment such as drives and transformers and reduces the risk of failure during significant transient events, improving uptime in manufacturing and data center environments.
Yes. The unit is rated with a NEMA 4X enclosure, which provides corrosion resistance and weatherproof protection. This makes it suitable for outdoor installations or harsh indoor environments, helping maintain protection performance without requiring additional enclosure or cabinet modifications.
The device carries UL 1283 and UL 1449 listings and CSA certification, with RoHS compliance. These certifications verify safety performance, electrical integrity, and environmental responsibility, simplifying regulatory approvals for regulated facilities and ensuring consistent protection across electrical systems.
The SPD MAX device includes a surge counter for monitoring surge events and facilitating maintenance planning. The RoHS-compliant design and clear labeling support ongoing compliance, while the 15-year warranty (20 years with registration) reduces long-term maintenance risk and replacement costs.
