FAQs
BSPD200480Y3P is designed for use in standard installations that require a NEMA 4X-rated enclosure and a 14 x 10 x 7 inch footprint. It weighs 12 lb, allowing straightforward mounting in most control panels or outdoor housings. For best results, ensure adequate clearance for wiring, follow manufacturer grounding guidelines, and verify that panel openings align with the catalog dimensions. This reduces field modification time and supports quick commissioning.
The BSPD200480Y3P delivers a 200 kAIC interrupt rating, enabling effective protection against high-energy transients. This capacity helps prevent damage to downstream devices such as drives, PLCs, and sensors, reducing failure rates and unplanned downtime. Proper installation and periodic inspection maintain performance, ensuring that protective components respond quickly to spikes without compromising normal operation.
Yes. The device uses a NEMA 4X enclosure, which provides weather resistance and durability in outdoor and washdown environments. This makes it suitable for process plants, outdoor control panels, and exposed electrical rooms where environmental exposure could otherwise compromise protection. Always confirm ambient temperature ranges and enclosure ratings for your specific site conditions.
The product listing notes SCAQMD compliance as a manufacturer-stated characteristic. For projects in California or regions with similar requirements, consult Eaton's documentation and obtain formal compliance certificates as part of your approval package. This helps streamline permitting and reduces the risk of non-conformance during audits or inspections.
Deploying the BSPD200480Y3P can improve uptime and extend the life of downstream equipment by mitigating surge-related damage, leading to lower maintenance costs and fewer outages. The rugged NEMA 4X enclosure and high surge capacity simplify installation and retrofit work, enabling faster project delivery and clearer justification for protection investments during ROI analyses.
