FAQs
Installation should begin with verifying panel suitability for a NEMA 4X enclosure and confirming space for a 14 in L x 10 in W x 10 in H device. Mount the unit in a compliant panel, connect to the designated bus or terminal points per the Eaton installation guide, and secure with appropriate hardware. Ensure clearances and torque specs are followed to maintain IP integrity and surge performance.
The device uses a NEMA 4X enclosure, providing weatherproof and corrosion-resistant protection ideal for dusty, wet, or outdoor installations. With a 400 kAIC interrupt rating, it withstands high-energy surge events. Its dimensions and weight support flexible mounting in standard enclosures, reducing the risk of ingress and maintenance interruptions in demanding facilities.
The BSPD400480D1P is listed for SCAQMD compliance (contact the manufacturer for specifics). In addition, it delivers a robust 400 kAIC interrupt rating and a durable NEMA 4X enclosure, aligning with common industrial safety expectations. Always verify current compliance statements with Eaton documentation for your project region.
Yes. The BSPD400480D1P is part of the BSPD family, designed to integrate into a multi-device protection strategy across panels and drives. This compatibility simplifies procurement, reduces part variety, and enables a uniform installation and maintenance approach while keeping protection performance consistent across all protected circuits.
Expect measurable ROI from reduced downtime during surge events, longer life for downstream equipment, and lower maintenance costs due to fewer nuisance outages. The 400 kAIC protection minimizes damage to critical components, while the rugged enclosure reduces corrosion-related upkeep. A standardized BSPD deployment also shortens commissioning and procurement cycles.
