Overview
The Cutler Hammer PTX080-1S101 is a split-phase surge suppression device engineered for protecting electrical equipment from transient overvoltages and switching surges. Manufactured by Eaton Corporation, this suppressor provides effective voltage clamping across phase-to-neutral and phase-to-ground circuits in single-phase and split-phase power systems. The unit features LED status indication to visually confirm suppressor operational status and surge detection events.
Key Features
- Split-phase configuration for 100/200V, 110/220V, or 150/300V nominal systems
- Single LED per phase for visual operational status and surge event indication
- 3-wire plus ground (3w+grnd) connection topology
- UL 1449 certified surge protection performance
- Compact panel-mount design for standard electrical cabinets
- Low maintenance operation with no field replaceable components required
