FAQs
Installation is facilitated by external side mounting, which minimizes panel work. Begin by verifying available space, securing the BSPD300480Y2P to the panel wall or frame, and wiring per Eaton’s datasheet. Ensure clearance for its 14 x 10 x 10 inch footprint and 18 lb weight. After mounting, perform insulation resistance tests and verify correct surge protection operation with a functional test.
The 300 kAIC interrupt rating indicates the device can safely interrupt high-energy surge currents without compromising its protection function. This translates to higher resilience against transient events from lightning or switching, protecting connected equipment such as drives, PLCs, and controllers and reducing the likelihood of catastrophic failure during major transient events.
Yes. The BSPD300480Y2P uses a NEMA 4X enclosure, designed to resist dust, water, and washdown conditions. This makes it suitable for outdoor installations and harsh manufacturing environments where moisture and contamination are concerns, while still allowing for reliable protection of critical power circuits.
Key compliance notes include the NEMA 4X enclosure rating for rugged protection and SCAQMD compliance as listed by the manufacturer. Always confirm site-specific requirements with the supplier, as some regions or applications may require additional standards or documentation before installation.
By limiting transient damage to sensitive components and reducing unexpected outages, the BSPD300480Y2P can lower maintenance costs and extend asset life. The robust enclosure and retrofit-friendly mounting help minimize labor during installation, while high-energy protection reduces the frequency of component replacements and downtime-related losses in continuous-process environments.
