FAQs
The BSPD400240D1K is designed to drop into standard Eaton Bussmann BSPD configurations, using a NEMA 1 indoor enclosure and the BSPD series mounting footprint. It supports straightforward wiring within control panels and racks, and OEMs can source compatible surge devices from the same family to simplify spare parts and service intervals, reducing installation risk and call-back visits.
A 400 kAIC interrupt rating indicates the device can interrupt extremely high-energy transient events, safeguarding downstream components such as PLCs, drives, and sensors. In practice, this rating supports protection for medium to large industrial loads and startup surges, helping you meet reliability targets and prevent cascading failures during switching events.
Yes. The BSPD400240D1K uses a NEMA 1 enclosure intended for indoor dry environments, such as control panels and switchgear rooms. Its footprints of 14 inches in depth and 10 inches in both height and width, along with a 12 lb weight, facilitate mounting in standard cabinets while maintaining accessible wiring and service points.
The device notes SCAQMD compliance, which may require manufacturer confirmation for specific California installations. Always verify local air-quality and electrical codes before installation, and obtain any required CE/UL documentation from the manufacturer for your project scope to ensure full regulatory alignment.
ROI stems from reduced downtime, lower maintenance costs, and longer asset life due to surge mitigation. With a 400 kAIC protection level and a robust BSPD platform, the device minimizes unplanned outages and extends the life of motors and drives. Align maintenance windows with standard protection lifecycle practices for industrial systems.
