FAQs
The BSPD400208Y2K is designed for indoor, non-hazardous locations and fits standard BSPD panel configurations. Plan for proper clearance around the unit, ensure mounting on a stable surface, and follow Eaton installation instructions. Its 14 in length and 10x10 in footprint simplify retrofit through existing BSPD mounting patterns, reducing installation time and downtime.
A 400 kAIC interrupt rating indicates the device can safely interrupt high-energy surge events without sustaining internal damage. This translates to stronger protection for downstream equipment, fewer nuisance trips, and extended life for transformers, drives, and control circuits in demanding industrial environments.
Yes. The unit features a NEMA 1 enclosure suitable for indoor use and carries SCAQMD compliance information, supporting regulatory alignment for facilities in California. While CE or IP ratings are not specified in the data, the combination of NEMA 1 protection and SCAQMD guidance makes it a solid choice for controlled indoor settings.
The BSPD series is designed for robust transient protection across motor control centers and panelboards. It offers high-energy surge handling, compatibility with Eaton Bussmann devices, and scalable protection for growing facilities. For reliability-focused engineers, this means reduced maintenance costs, improved uptime, and streamlined spare-part stock management within a single protection family.
ROI comes from reduced downtime, fewer equipment failures due to transient events, and extended service life of critical components. While exact payback depends on site power quality and load profiles, the 400 kAIC protection and NEMA 1 enclosure maximize reliability for indoor electrical distributions, delivering measurable reductions in maintenance and replacement costs over the asset lifecycle.
