Eaton BSPD400480Y3P Surge Protection Device - 400 kAIC

The 400 kAIC interrupt rating delivers robust protection against high-energy surges, reducing panel damage and unplanned downtime. In demanding environments such as motor control centers and outdoor panels, this capability translates into measurable uptime gains and lower maintenance costs. The NEMA 4X enclosure protects against moisture, dust, and washdown exposure, enabling outdoor and rugged indoor installations without extra weatherproof housing. This compatibility shortens commissioning time and lowers total installed cost by eliminating add-ons and retrofit steps. With dimensions of 14 in length, 10 in width, and 10 in height, and a weight of 18 lb, the BSPD400480Y3P fits neatly into crowded panels and simplifies handling during installation. The compact footprint also supports easier retrofits and spare-part planning for service teams. As part of the BSPD series, this device integrates seamlessly with Eaton Bussmann components, ensuring consistent electrical characteristics and easier stocking. Panel builders benefit from a familiar interface and a simplified procurement path, reducing project lead times. Compliance and risk management are supported by SCAQMD-related options via the manufacturer and by the robust protection offered by 400 kAIC. This reduces regulatory exposure and helps meet site-specific surge protection requirements while improving overall safety. In practice, engineers report faster commissioning, fewer nuisance trips, and longer asset life when deploying BSPD protection in critical lines. The solution also positions facilities to realize lower total cost of ownership through reduced downtime and easier asset management.
