FAQs
Check mounting dimensions: 14 in depth, 10 in width, 10 in height; verify panel cutouts and mounting clearances; confirm interior wiring space and routing routes. Review datasheet for mounting patterns and hardware requirements, and plan cable exits to maintain serviceability after installation.
The device delivers a 400 kAIC interrupt rating, indicating the maximum fault current the protection device can interrupt without damage. This level of protection reduces the likelihood of cascading failures in downstream equipment and helps protect critical loads in manufacturing lines and control panels.
The BSPD400208Y3K comes in a NEMA 1 enclosure, which is intended for indoor use. For outdoor or harsh environments, consider a protective enclosure with higher ingress protection or choose a surge protector with an outdoor-rated enclosure and appropriate certifications to meet your site conditions.
Note that SCAQMD compliance is indicated by the manufacturer; confirm regional requirements and any CE or IP ratings applicable to your installation. Always consult the datasheet and local regulatory guidelines to ensure full compliance within your facility.
By limiting surge-induced outages and protecting downstream devices, you reduce maintenance costs and extend equipment life, improving uptime and production efficiency. The straightforward installation and standard BSPD series integration further shorten project timelines and lower total cost of ownership over the system’s life.
