FAQs
Yes. The BSPD300480D1P is designed for external-side mounting, which simplifies integration into most control panels and switchgear. This approach reduces wiring length, speeds retrofits, and minimizes panel intrusion. Ensure enough clearance for the 14 in depth and maintain proper access for maintenance and thermal management.
A 300 kAIC interrupt rating means the device can safely interrupt very large fault currents without sustaining damage. This level of protection reduces the risk of downstream equipment failure, lowers repair costs after surge events, and helps maintain process continuity for feeders, drives, and transformers in industrial installations.
Yes. The BSPD300480D1P is designed to clamp transients on industrial power circuits that commonly feed VFDs and PLCs. Its 300 kAIC rating and NEMA 4X enclosure help protect sensitive electronics in harsh environments, while the external-side mounting supports straightforward integration near drives and control cabinets.
The device features a rugged NEMA 4X enclosure and lists SCAQMD compliance with manufacturer confirmation. The UPC for reference is 786685934136, and it belongs to Eaton’s BSPD family. For specific regulatory needs, consult Eaton to confirm current certification statuses and regional applicability for your facility.
Maintenance is typically minimal; once installed, the device provides ongoing transient suppression with no active maintenance required in normal operation. ROI considerations include reduced downtime, longer equipment life for drives and PLCs, and lower spare-part and labor costs during surge events. Regular inspection of enclosure integrity and connections is advised during routine PM schedules.
