FAQs
BSPD300480D2K uses an external side mounting method, designed for straightforward integration with typical industrial control panels. This mounting approach minimizes field modifications and simplifies alignment with adjacent components, reducing installation time and risk during retrofits or new builds.
The device provides a 300 kAIC interrupt rating, meaning it can withstand and interrupt a prospective short-circuit current up to 300 kA without sustaining damage. This translates to improved protection for sensitive loads and downstream equipment during high-energy surge events common in manufacturing environments.
Yes, BSPD300480D2K is intended for indoor use with a NEMA 1 enclosure. This enclosure rating supports protection in controlled indoor spaces against dust and incidental contact, making it appropriate for most cabinet and panel-board installations inside facilities.
The BSPD300480D2K carries SCAQMD compliance as listed in its specifications. While not every jurisdiction requires SCAQMD approval, this compliance demonstrates alignment with air quality regulations for certain industrial sites. Additionally, its NEMA 1 enclosure supports standard indoor protection in many regions.
With a high-energy interrupt rating and a robust enclosure, the BSPD300480D2K delivers reliable surge protection with minimal maintenance needs. This reduces unplanned downtime, lowers the total cost of ownership, and supports predictable lifecycle budgeting for panel protection across multi-site deployments.
