Eaton BSPD300240D2K Surge Protection Device - 300 kAIC
Part Number: BSPD300240D2K
Quick Summary
BSPD surge protection device by Eaton guards industrial panels from transient surges. Unprotected circuits stall production and threaten sensitive sensors, triggering costly downtime and maintenance. With a 300 kAIC interrupt rating and a sturdy NEMA 1 enclosure, BSPD300240D2K provides reliable indoor protection for control panels, MCCs, and switchgear. SCAQMD compliance guidance is available from the manufacturer, helping facilities meet regional air quality and electrical safety considerations. By integrating this surge protection device into electrical protection plans, engineers can reduce unplanned outages, extend equipment life, and streamline maintenance workflows while keeping total cost of ownership predictable. This product also supports scalable, field-installable protection within existing Eaton Bussmann BSPD family deployments and industrial electrical protection strategies.

FAQs
Install BSPD300240D2K by mounting it on the panel's interior using the external side mounting method and following Eaton's wiring diagram. Connect the unit to the protected circuits with proper sizing and secure all terminations, allowing for 14 in length by 10 in width clearance. Confirm indoor mounting suitability and maintain access for servicing without removing equipment from the cabinet.
300 kAIC describes the maximum fault current the device can interrupt without arc flash or failure, delivering high-energy surge protection for critical loads. In practice, this reduces the likelihood of component damage to drives, controllers, and sensors during transient events. For industrial panels, this rating supports robust protection in environments with high fault currents and frequent surges.
Yes. The BSPD300240D2K is designed for indoor use in control panels, motor control centers (MCCs), and distribution boards. It’s housed in a NEMA 1 enclosure with external side mounting, facilitating integration into existing cabinets. Its 14 in x 10 in footprint and 12 lb weight support straightforward field installation without large cabinet modification.
Compliances include SCAQMD guidance (manufacturer consultation recommended) and NEMA 1 enclosure suitability for indoor use. SCAQMD compliance supports regional air-quality and electrical safety requirements; for sites outside that jurisdiction, follow standard electrical codes for surge protection devices. Always verify panel compatibility and local regulations with Eaton before deployment. Having documented approvals simplifies audits, reduces rework, and accelerates system commissioning while ensuring ongoing performance.
Implementing the BSPD300240D2K can lower maintenance costs by reducing unplanned downtime and protecting expensive drives, PLCs, and sensors from surges. With easier installation, fewer service calls are needed, and the device's robust rating supports longer service life. Over time, facilities typically experience improved uptime, smoother production lines, and a measurable reduction in spare-part consumption that can be tracked in TCO dashboards.
