The Eaton PSPD080400Y2K is a panel-level surge protection device (SPD) designed to protect 230/400V 3-phase wye (star) electrical systems from damaging transient overvoltages. Part of Eaton’s PSPD series, it provides robust, UL-listed Type 2 surge protection for critical distribution panels, helping extend equipment life and reduce downtime in commercial and industrial facilities.
This unit is ideal for electrical contractors, facility managers, IT and operations teams who need reliable, code-compliant surge protection at service entrances, distribution panels, or key subpanels. Typical applications include offices, schools, hospitals, data centers, manufacturing plants, and government facilities, especially where TAA compliance is required.

FAQs – Eaton PSPD080400Y2K
1. What does the PSPD080400Y2K actually do?
It clamps dangerous voltage spikes (surges) on a 230/400V 3-phase wye system, diverting surge energy safely to ground. This helps protect downstream equipment such as lighting, HVAC, UPS, IT gear, and controls from damage caused by lightning and switching transients.
2. Where is this SPD typically installed?
It’s designed for panel or chassis mounting in a NEMA 1 indoor environment, typically at main service entrances, distribution panels, or major branch panels in commercial and industrial buildings.
3. Is PSPD080400Y2K suitable for government or public-sector projects?
Yes. The unit is listed as TAA compliant, making it suitable for many U.S. government and public-sector bids and contracts that require Trade Agreements Act–compliant hardware.
4. What does “80 kA” mean in practical terms?
The 80 kA max discharge rating refers to how much surge current the device can safely divert in an 8/20 μs surge event. Combined with the 200 kA SCCR, it indicates a robust SPD suitable for heavy-duty commercial and industrial surge environments.
5. How long is the warranty, and what standards does it meet?
Most listings show a 10-year limited warranty on the PSPD series in powder-coated steel NEMA 1 enclosures, and the device is UL 1449 listed (and CSA certified). Always confirm warranty terms in your region or with your distributor before ordering.
