FAQs
For the SPM400208Y1R, plan installation in a suitable distribution panel that supports 120/208 V Wye configurations. Ensure a clean, dry environment and adequate clearance for the 9.3 in depth, 14.91 in width, and 17.5 in height footprint. Use proper mounting hardware, follow wiring diagrams, and coordinate with upstream protective devices to maintain reliable protection without nuisance tripping.
The 400 kA per phase rating provides high-energy surge absorption, protecting downstream drives, controllers, and sensors from severe transients. In practical terms, this reduces the likelihood of insulation damage, minimizes repair cycles, and helps maintain process integrity during voltage spikes common in industrial environments.
Yes. The unit features a NEMA 4 enclosure suitable for indoor and outdoor use in appropriate environments. Its single-module design fits standard distribution panels, and the internal circuit breaker simplifies coordination with existing protection schemes, enabling straightforward retrofits or new installations without extensive panel modifications.
The SPM400208Y1R carries UL 1449 and UL 1283 certifications, meets CSA Electrical Notice No. 516 and CSA Std. C22.2 No. 8-M1986 requirements, and is RoHS compliant. These certifications validate safety, performance, and environmental compliance, supporting procurement and compliance reporting for regulated industries.
The unit carries a 15-year warranty from delivery, extending to 20 years when registered on Eaton’s site. This long-term coverage lowers lifecycle costs by reducing replacement and maintenance expenses, while the device’s high surge rating and robust enclosure contribute to improved uptime and lower risk of costly power-related outages.
