FAQ
What electrical systems is the PA240DCT designed for?
The PA240DCT is specifically designed for sub-panel applications in high-leg delta electrical systems. These systems are commonly used in commercial and industrial settings where three-phase power is required, with one phase having a higher voltage to ground. This surge protector is engineered to work correctly within these specific electrical configurations.
How does the hardwired installation work?
This surge protection device features a hardwired design that connects directly to the electrical sub-panel wiring, rather than plugging into an outlet. This permanent installation provides continuous protection without relying on outlet availability and creates a more secure, tamper-resistant connection. It requires professional installation by a qualified electrician following local electrical codes.
What does the 1100J surge energy rating mean?
The 1100 joule (J) rating indicates the total energy the device can dissipate from voltage surges before its protective components degrade. A higher joule rating generally means better protection and longer device lifespan. This 1100J rating provides substantial protection against both large single surges and repeated smaller transients that can damage sensitive electronic equipment over time.
What input voltages does this surge protector accept?
The PA240DCT accepts dual input voltages of 120V AC and 230V AC. This voltage flexibility allows the device to be used in various electrical configurations and makes it compatible with different power systems. The dual voltage capability ensures proper operation whether installed in 120V or 230V circuits within the supported electrical systems.
What are the physical dimensions of this device?
The surge protector measures 6.30 inches in height, 3.54 inches in width, and 4.72 inches in depth (160 × 90 × 120 mm). With an approximate weight of 635 grams, this compact design allows for installation in standard electrical panels where space is limited. The dimensions are optimized for sub-panel mounting without requiring excessive panel real estate.
What warranty coverage does this product include?
The Wiremold PA240DCT comes with a 10-year limited warranty. This extensive warranty period reflects the manufacturer's confidence in the product's durability and protective capabilities. The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions, providing long-term assurance for your surge protection investment.
