FAQs
BSPD400240D3K integrates with existing panel boards by using Eaton’s BSPD series compatibility and a standard NEMA 1 indoor enclosure. The 14 inch depth and 10 by 10 inch footprint fit in typical cabinet spaces, while a 12 lb weight helps with on-site handling. Procurement is streamlined with the catalog number BSPD400240D3K and UPC 786685934464.
The device provides a 400 kAIC interrupt rating, enabling rapid interruption of high-energy surges and protecting downstream devices such as PLCs, drives, and motors. This protection helps limit insulation damage and equipment downtime, supporting longer mean time between failures for critical loads in indoor distribution panels.
Compliances indicate SCAQMD compliance (as noted by the manufacturer) and a NEMA 1 indoor enclosure rating, suitable for standard electrical rooms. While CE and IP ratings aren’t specified in the provided data, the BSPD series design aligns with common U.S. industrial practices and supports indoor panel protection with Eaton documentation.
With a 14 inch depth and a 10 by 10 inch footprint, the unit fits most standard panels without extenders. The 12 lb weight allows manageable on-site handling, and the NEMA 1 enclosure provides dust resistance in conditioned spaces. Ensure access to the upstream power source and confirm compatibility with BSPD accessories during retrofit projects.
Deploying BSPD400240D3K delivers improved reliability by reducing surge-related equipment damage, cutting downtime, and simplifying procurement through a known BSPD series. The robust 400 kAIC protection suits critical loads in manufacturing and processing environments, while the documented specification sheet and UPC aid inventory management and project commissioning.
