Special features
Standard with surge counter
Two-module design delivers 400 kA per phase surge capability, enabling fast dissipation of high-energy transients. This capability protects downstream equipment and minimizes unscheduled downtime in demanding environments. It's well suited for motor drives, PLCs, and critical panels along manufacturing lines where lightning strikes and switching events threaten uptime. The unit's NEMA 4 enclosure with an internal terminal breaker simplifies field wiring and supports reliable installation in damp or dusty spaces. This design reduces installation time and enhances safety by keeping fault pathways contained. For outdoor switchgear or washdown areas, the enclosure maintains protection without compromising accessibility for servicing. Standard with a surge counter provides real-time visibility into surge activity, enabling proactive maintenance and easier compliance reporting. The counter data helps verify continued protection during audits and supports lifecycle planning for replacement modules. Its 127/220 V Wye rating makes it compatible with common three-phase systems with a neutral, ensuring straightforward integration with existing panels and control circuits. The two-module arrangement also supports modular scalability as power quality needs evolve, with installation benefits including simplified grounding and minimal footprint mounting in standard switchgear enclosures. RoHS compliant and backed by UL 1449, UL 1283 and CSA certifications, the SPM400220Y3U meets stringent safety and environmental standards, reducing compliance risk for controlled environments. Tapping into the Eaton Max series ecosystem ensures compatibility with other protective devices for a cohesive power protection strategy.

FAQs

The SPM400220Y3U is designed specifically for 127/220 V Wye (4W+G) three-phase systems, providing seamless integration with common industrial panels. Its two-module construction allows easy scalability while preserving protective performance. When upgrading legacy protection, ensure neutral connections are properly wired to maintain accurate balance and surge handling for critical loads.
This SPD carries UL 1449 and UL 1283 certifications, plus CSA Electrical Notice and CSA standards, ensuring safety, reliability, and electrical compliance across North American facilities. RoHS compliance reduces environmental and procurement risks, making it suitable for regulated industries and projects requiring documented certifications for audits.
A 400 kA per phase rating indicates the device can absorb high-energy transients per phase without degradation, protecting downstream equipment and reducing the likelihood of component damage. For facilities with frequent switching surges or lightning exposure, this rating translates to higher uptime and lower repair costs for drives, controllers, and power panels.
Yes. The unit features a NEMA 4 enclosure with an internal terminal breaker, designed to withstand damp and dusty conditions while maintaining protection integrity. This makes it suitable for outdoor installations and challenging indoor spaces, reducing risk and simplifying maintenance in harsh environments.
By safeguarding critical loads and reducing unplanned downtime, the SPM400220Y3U lowers maintenance costs and extends asset life. The built-in surge counter enables data-driven maintenance scheduling, helping teams plan replacements proactively and optimize protection across motor drives, panels, and control systems for a favorable total cost of ownership.
