FAQs
BSPD300480D3P is designed for external side mounting, allowing easier wire access and straightforward mounting within standard control cabinets. When retrofitting, verify panel clearance, ensure proper knockouts for wiring, and align the unit to avoid obstructing internal components. Follow Eaton datasheet guidance for wiring torque specs and protective earth connections to maintain optimal protection performance.
This model features a 300 kAIC interrupt rating and a NEMA 4X enclosure, delivering high-level transient protection in harsh environments while maintaining weatherproof integrity. These specifications support reliable operation in industrial settings with exposure to dust, moisture, and temperature variations.
SCAQMD compliance is noted as a consideration for this model, with confirmation typically required from the manufacturer. In practice, verify applicable regulatory requirements for your site and obtain documented confirmation from Eaton to ensure full compliance before installation in emission-sensitive facilities.
Industries with critical automation and sensitive equipment benefit most, including manufacturing, process industries, and energy/industrial facilities. Applications span control panels, drives, sensors, PLCs, and integral equipment racks where transient protection reduces downtime and extends asset life.
Routine inspection of enclosure integrity, wiring terminations, and mounting stability is recommended. Maintain a spare set of surge protection devices within inventory to minimize downtime during replacements. Review manufacturer datasheets for recommended replacement intervals based on environmental conditions and disturbance history.
