FAQs
BSPD400480D3P uses a NEMA 4X enclosure, designed for both indoor and outdoor use, including wash-down areas. Mounting should align with the 14 in depth, 10 in height, and 10 in width footprint, ensuring access to the catalog number BSPD400480D3P for serviceability. Plan for proper clearance and temperature conditions to maintain peak performance and ease of maintenance.
A 400 kAIC interrupt rating represents a high-energy surge tolerance, reducing insulation stress and the risk of transformer or switchgear damage. This translates to lower downtime and fewer field repairs, particularly for critical loads like PLCs, drives, and motor starters in demanding industrial lines.
Yes, the BSPD400480D3P aligns with SCAQMD compliance where applicable. For projects in California, confirm local permitting and ensure the installation adheres to environmental guidelines. The datasheet and Eaton support can verify specific compatibility for your site conditions.
Routine maintenance centers on visual inspections, verifying enclosure integrity, and confirming lead connections remain tight. The device’s high-visibility UPC and catalog information facilitate quick replacement if service is needed. Schedule periodic checks aligned with your preventive maintenance plan to sustain surge protection performance.
ROI stems from reduced surge-related outages, lower repair costs, and extended equipment life. While initial deployment costs are offset over time by uptime gains and fewer premature component failures, quantify expected downtime reductions from historical surge events to build a precise business case.
