FAQs
The BSPD400208Y1P is designed for industrial control panels, switchgear, and motor control centers. It features a NEMA 4X enclosure for rugged environments and a 14 by 10 by 10 inch footprint with an 18 lb weight, enabling straightforward retrofit into existing enclosures and new panel installations.
The device provides a 400 kAIC interrupt rating, meaning it can interrupt high-energy surges safely and quickly. This protects downstream components such as drives and relays from damaging transient voltages, reducing fault-induced downtime and extending equipment life in demanding industrial settings.
CE certification details are not listed in the provided data. The enclosure is specified as NEMA 4X, which informs splash and dust resistance in rugged environments. For CE or IP ratings, please consult Eaton’s datasheet or contact the manufacturer for regional compliance information.
With a length of 14 inches, width of 10 inches, height of 10 inches, and a weight of 18 pounds, the unit fits standard protected enclosures. Plan for proper mounting within industrial panels or switchgear cabinets, ensure clear access for maintenance, and follow manufacturer guidelines for wiring and surge-grounding connections to maximize protection efficacy.
By mitigating transient overvoltages, the BSPD400208Y1P can reduce unplanned downtime, extend the life of transformers, drives, and control electronics, and lower maintenance and replacement costs. In facilities with frequent power disturbances, this translates to faster uptime, improved power quality, and a clearer path to a favorable total cost of ownership.
