FAQs
Yes. The BSPD300240D2P is designed for external side mounting and fits within the Eaton BSPD surge protection family, enabling straightforward retrofit or expansion. When planning an upgrade, verify panel space, enclosure clearances, and busbar access. The result is a unified protection strategy across multiple panels with minimal disruption to operations.
The device provides a 300 kAIC interrupt rating, suitable for high-energy transient events typical in industrial power systems. It protects downstream loads such as motor drives, PLCs, and control circuits from damaging surges, helping to extend equipment life, reduce unplanned downtime, and maintain production throughput during voltage disturbances.
BSPD300240D2P features a NEMA 4X enclosure, which offers robust protection against dust, water, and harsh conditions. This makes it suitable for outdoor panels and washdown areas common in manufacturing and processing facilities. For extreme exposure, confirm site-specific conditions and ensure proper mounting and sealing during installation.
The device touts SCAQMD compliance (subject to manufacturer confirmation) and a NEMA 4X enclosure for environmental protection. While standard CE or SIL certifications aren’t listed in the datasheet, the combination of regulatory alignment and rugged enclosure provides strong compliance support for many industrial environments.
By preventing voltage spikes from reaching sensitive equipment, the BSPD300240D2P reduces downtime, extends motor and drive life, and lowers maintenance costs. The external side mounting simplifies installation, enabling faster upgrades across sites and predictable maintenance budgeting without frequent component replacements after spiking events.
