High surge current rating and fast response are core strengths of the BSPD200480D2K. With a 200 kAIC interrupt rating, the device absorbs large transient energies that could propagate into PLCs, drives, and sensors, reducing the risk of premature failure. The business impact is tangible: fewer unplanned outages, longer asset life, and lower maintenance costs in demanding automation lines where every cycle counts. In practice, this translates to more reliable production throughput and lower emergency service expenses. The NEMA 1 enclosure anchors indoor reliability, providing dust resistance and safe enclosure of live terminals, simplifying installation inside standard electrical cabinets without requiring special mounting footprints. Applications include control panels, machine enclosures, and switchgear housings where space is at a premium and compliance obligations are strict. The combination of enclosure and performance makes it easy to coordinate with existing protection schemes and cabling layouts. Compliance and regulatory alignment are central to recommended use, with SCAQMD compliance noted for California sites and the manufacturer ready to confirm region-specific requirements. This device also leverages Eaton's BSPD series compatibility, ensuring consistent sparing and replacement across a plant's protection strategy. Physical footprint supports straightforward retrofits and future upgrades, with a 14 inch length, 7 inch height, 10 inch width, and about 6 pounds in weight, keeping installation overhead minimal in crowded panels. Easy mounting to standard rails or flat surfaces is supported, and the depth leaves room for wiring and protective barriers. This thoughtful packaging reduces panel redesigns during expansion projects. Installation is straightforward in established electrical cabinets, minimizing downtime and enabling faster commissioning, while ongoing operation benefits include predictable maintenance planning and a strong, measurable ROI for protecting critical loads across multiple lines.

FAQs
BSPD200480D2K is designed for indoor electrical environments such as control panels, machine enclosures, and standard switchgear housings. With a NEMA 1 enclosure and a footprint that fits typical cabinet layouts (14 in x 10 in x 7 in), it integrates into existing panelboards without requiring specialized mounting. This makes retrofits and new installations straightforward while maintaining robust surge protection for critical loads.
The BSPD200480D2K offers a 200 kAIC interrupt rating, enabling it to absorb substantial transient energies and protect downstream devices such as PLCs, drives, and sensors. This rating translates to higher reliability in environments with frequent voltage spikes and helps reduce maintenance costs by limiting device-level failures caused by transients.
The BSPD200480D2K is noted for SCAQMD compliance, making it suitable for sites in California that must meet regional air quality regulations. For other standards, refer to the manufacturer’s specifications. While CE or IP ratings are not listed in the data, the device’s NEMA 1 enclosure and documented compliance support safe indoor installation and regulatory alignment in many industrial environments.
The device uses a NEMA 1 enclosure suitable for indoor, dry environments. Installation benefits include compatibility with standard panels and ease of mounting within existing electrical cabinet spaces. The 14 in length, 10 in width, and 7 in height provide ample space for wiring, while the 6 lb weight facilitates handling during retrofits or new builds, with straightforward wiring to protection circuits.
Deploying the BSPD200480D2K delivers measurable ROI through reduced downtime, fewer false outages, and extended asset life for critical loads. Its robust 200 kAIC protection minimizes device failures, while the standard indoor enclosure and straightforward installation lower total cost of ownership and simplify asset management, maintenance planning, and spare-part strategy across manufacturing lines.
