FAQs
Installation should follow standard SPD practices for 120/208 V systems. Verify compatibility with 4W+G wiring, mount in a secure, accessible location, and connect per the catalog instructions. Ensure adequate clearance for the 17.5 in height and plan for proper support to bear the 50 lb weight, using the internal circuit breaker for isolation during service.
The device provides 400 kA per phase protection, allowing it to absorb high-energy transients and limit let-through voltage. This reduces the likelihood of insulation damage, sensor drift, and premature component failure, delivering better equipment resilience for sensitive drives, PLCs, and data-processing hardware in harsh power environments.
The SPM400208Y3V is RoHS compliant and UL 1449, UL 1283 certified, with CSA listings including CSA Electrical Notice NO. 516 Edition 1. This combination confirms electrical safety, regulatory alignment, and reduced hazardous substances for safer, compliant installations in industrial facilities.
The unit carries a 15-year warranty from the date of delivery, with an extended 20-year warranty available when registered on Eaton’s SPD site. Registration steps are straightforward and provide extended protection, which can lower long-term maintenance costs and enhance asset lifecycle planning.
By delivering robust transient protection (400 kA per phase), a durable NEMA 4X enclosure, and a built-in surge counter, this SPD reduces unplanned downtime, extends equipment life, and simplifies maintenance planning. The combination of regulatory compliance and long warranty further lowers lifecycle costs in capital-intensive manufacturing environments.
