FAQs
To install BSPD300208Y2P, mount in the external side of the enclosure using appropriate hardware suitable for a NEMA 4X rating. Ensure clearance for wiring and heat dissipation given its 14 in length, 10 in height, and 10 in width with an 18 lb weight. Connect line and load per the Eaton datasheet, and follow lockout/tagout procedures. Verify the installation coordinates with upstream protection and perform a final functional check after power restoration.
The BSPD300208Y2P surge protection device provides a 300 kAIC interrupt rating, enabling robust defense against high-energy transients. This rating supports protection of downstream equipment such as controllers, drives, and sensors in demanding environments. For best results, coordinate with upstream protection devices and conduct periodic testing per the manufacturer’s specifications.
Yes. The device uses a rugged NEMA 4X enclosure, which is designed for weatherproof and corrosive-resistant performance in outdoor and harsh indoor settings. This makes it suitable for outdoor switchgear, exposed control panels, and damp plant floors. Ensure proper installation practices and consult the manufacturer’s guidelines for any jurisdictional considerations.
Best suited for industrial control panels, outdoor switchgear, and environments prone to transient surges. It protects sensitive electronics, motor starters, and control circuits in manufacturing lines, data centers with ancillary power equipment, and remote facilities requiring reliable uptime. Its external mounting and rugged enclosure support retrofit projects and durable, long-term protection.
The BSPD300208Y2P offers SCAQMD compliance options through the manufacturer. While it supports certain regional requirements, verify applicability with your compliance team and consult Eaton for any CE or other regulatory certifications specific to your region. This helps ensure regulatory readiness and reduces compliance-related risk.
