The BSPD300600D1K provides a 300 kAIC interrupt rating, delivering high-energy surge protection for critical feeders and motor drives. This capability minimizes the risk of transformer and controller damage during large surge events, reducing unplanned downtime and maintenance costs. It is well suited for industrial panels, CNCs, and process automation cabinets where power quality directly impacts uptime and product quality. An NEMA 1 enclosure with external side mounting provides rugged protection and straightforward installation. The enclosure design simplifies code compliance checks and service accessibility, lowering installation time and risk during commissioning or retrofits. It pairs with standard control cabinets to support reliable protection without invasive enclosure alterations. Part of the BSPD series, this device benefits from the family’s proven reliability and compatibility. External side mounting reduces footprint in crowded panels and enables easy retrofits in legacy equipment, so you can upgrade protection without major rewiring. It fits into existing Eaton Bussmann protective schemes, easing procurement and maintenance planning. Compliance notes emphasize environmental and regulatory considerations. SCAQMD guidance is referenced by the manufacturer, helping facilities in air-quality-conscious regions meet local requirements. While this data does not explicitly list CE, UL, or IP ratings, proper verification via the Eaton datasheet ensures all necessary certifications are in place for your application. Physical specs support practical installation and servicing. With a 14 inch product length, 10 inch height and width, and a 12 lb weight, this BSPD unit is manageable for panel builders and technicians. Clear labeling, documented cataloging (BSPD300600D1K), and a 300 kAIC rating contribute to predictable maintenance planning and reduced field errors.
