FAQ
What is the input voltage range for the Wiremold PA120Y surge protector?
The Wiremold PA120Y supports dual input voltages of 120 V AC and 208 V AC, making it compatible with common electrical systems in commercial and industrial settings. This flexibility allows it to be used in various configurations without requiring additional adapters or separate models.
How does the hardwired installation benefit sub-panel applications?
Hardwired installation provides a permanent, secure connection directly to the electrical panel, eliminating the risk of accidental disconnection that can occur with plug-in surge protectors. This ensures continuous protection for all circuits connected to the sub-panel, reduces clutter, and offers a cleaner, more professional installation suitable for commercial environments.
What does the 1100 J surge energy rating mean for protection?
The 1100 J surge energy rating indicates the device's capacity to absorb transient energy from power surges. A higher joule rating means the surge protector can handle larger or more frequent surges before needing replacement, providing robust protection for sensitive equipment like computers, HVAC controls, and security systems against voltage spikes.
Is the Wiremold PA120Y suitable for rack-mounted installations?
The PA120Y is designed for sub-panel mounting within electrical enclosures, not specifically for rack mounting. Its compact dimensions of 6.30" H x 3.54" W x 4.72" D allow it to fit neatly in standard panels, but it does not include rack ears or brackets for direct rack installation. For rack-based surge protection, consider dedicated rack-mounted PDUs or surge suppressors.
What warranty coverage does this surge protection device include?
The Wiremold PA120Y comes with a 10-year limited warranty, providing long-term assurance against defects in materials and workmanship. This extended warranty reflects the device's durability and reliability for continuous use in commercial and industrial applications, offering peace of mind for businesses investing in surge protection.
Does the PA120Y comply with environmental standards?
Yes, the PA120Y is environmentally friendly and complies with the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive. This means it is manufactured without harmful materials like lead, mercury, and cadmium, making it a safer choice for businesses focused on sustainability and regulatory compliance in their electrical installations.
What power capacity is listed for this UPS?
Power specifications help show where the unit fits best, including the type of load level, electrical environment, and backup role it is intended to support. These are usually the most decision-critical facts in a UPS or power-protection comparison.
What voltage details are listed?
The listed power specification is 120 V AC,208 V AC, which helps position the unit for the right load level and installation role.
