FAQs

The BSPD400240D2P is sized for standard panel architectures with a 14 x 10 x 10 inch footprint and 18 lb weight. It is suitable for both new installations and retrofits in industrial environments, including service entrances and outdoor cabinets, provided you adhere to the NEMA 4X mounting requirements and follow the manufacturer’s wiring diagram for proper connection.
A 400 kAIC interrupt rating indicates the device can interrupt high-energy transients without compromising the protection circuit. This translates to better suppression of powerful surges, reduced risk of downstream equipment damage, and lower maintenance costs over time in facilities with heavy switching, motor loads, or grid disturbances.
Yes. The NEMA 4X enclosure provides outdoor-ready protection, resistance to weather and washdown conditions, and robust mechanical protection for the surge protection components, making it well-suited for outdoor panels and harsh plant environments.
The product notes SCAQMD compliance with manufacturer confirmation. For installations in regions with air quality or emissions oversight, verify local requirements and confirm with Eaton or an authorized distributor to ensure the protection device aligns with your regulatory program.
By absorbing damaging transients and reducing surge-related downtime, the BSPD400240D2P helps extend equipment life and stabilize production. The standardization within the BSPD series also lowers training and maintenance costs, delivering a favorable total cost of ownership in industrial environments.
