Eaton BSPD300480Y2K Surge Protection Device - 300 kAIC
Part Number: BSPD300480Y2K
Quick Summary
BSPD300480Y2K surge protection device from Eaton protects electrical panels and industrial equipment from transient surges. In the field, downtime from switching transients and external disturbances can erode uptime and damage critical loads. This model leverages a robust 300 kAIC interrupt rating and a NEMA 1 enclosure to guard indoor control panels, enabling reliable, 24/7 operation. Compliant with key industry standards and designed for integration within the BSPD family, it delivers predictable performance while simplifying maintenance planning. For engineers and procurement teams, this translates into easier phasing, clearer BOM decisions, and a lower total cost of ownership through improved system resilience and predictable protection across panels.

300 kAIC interrupt rating → significantly reduce the risk of surge-related equipment damage and unplanned downtime, improving plant uptime and process reliability in manufacturing lines and processing facilities. The business impact is tangible: less maintenance interruption, longer equipment life, and a clearer path to regulatory and asset protection. Application: ideal for power distribution panels and critical control cabinets where high-energy surges may occur and fast recovery matters.NEMA 1 enclosure with external side mounting → enables straightforward indoor installation and retrofit in existing panels, reducing labor and downtime during upgrade cycles. The application sweet spot includes machine controls, HVAC control enclosures, and data-driven manufacturing environments where space and access are constrained. Business impact: simplified installation workflows and lower project risk due to familiar, rugged cabinet protection.BSPD series compatibility and catalog specialization → ensures consistent protection across multiple panels with standardized mounting and wiring practices. This creates a unified protection strategy and lowers mismatch risk during panel upgrades. Application: large facilities with multiple breakers and SBPC/BSPD devices benefit from streamlined stock management and maintenance planning.Compliances and documentation (SCAQMD note) → supports regulatory alignment and audit trails, reducing compliance friction for California-based projects. Application: industrial facilities with environmental or regulatory considerations can leverage documented protection to meet internal SOPs and external standards. Business impact: lowers risk of non-compliance penalties and accelerates project sign-offs.Dimensions and weight (14 in length, 10 in height, 10 in width, 12 lb) → facilitates space planning and mechanical fit within panel layouts, enabling efficient enclosure design and spare capacity assessment. Application: systems integrators planning cabinet density and cable routing benefit from predictable footprint and weight handling. Business impact: reduces layout revisions and improves installation accuracy across multiple panels.Catalog specificity (BSPD300480Y2K) → guarantees product traceability and component-level BOM accuracy, easing lifecycle management and future part replacements. Application: procurement teams gain reliable sourcing with clear part numbers and UPCs, supporting fast reorders and reduced mis-picks. Business impact: improved inventory control and faster maintenance cycles.

FAQs
Begin with de-energizing the panel and confirming enclosure access. Mount the BSPD300480Y2K on the exterior side per the panel’s design guidelines, secure with appropriate hardware, and connect the incoming and outgoing conductors as per the wiring diagram. Ground the device per the Eaton installation instructions and verify tight connections before energizing the system.
Key specs include a 300 kAIC interrupt rating, NEMA 1 enclosure, external side mounting, catalog number BSPD300480Y2K, UPC 786685934204, and a product footprint of 14 in Ă— 10 in Ă— 10 in with a 12 lb weight. It is a surge protection device within the BSPD series.
Yes, it is designed for indoor applications in control panels and distribution enclosures (NEMA 1). For outdoor or harsher environments, you would need an enclosure rated for those conditions or additional protective enclosures. SCAQMD compliance information is available from the manufacturer upon request.
Industries with critical control panels and power distribution needs typically benefit, including manufacturing, process controls, data centers, HVAC controls, and machine tooling. The BSPD family provides robust surge protection to reduce downtime and extend equipment life in these environments.
The device reduces unplanned outages by protecting downstream loads from surges, leading to lower maintenance costs and extended equipment life. With a high 300 kAIC rating and the BSPD family’s compatibility, facilities can achieve a faster payback through fewer replacements and less unplanned downtime.
