Eaton BSPD400600Y1K Surge Protection Device - 400 kAIC
Part Number: BSPD400600Y1K
Quick Summary
Eaton BSPD400600Y1K surge protection device protects electrical panels from transients in industrial environments. This solution helps engineers and procurement teams reduce unexpected downtime and equipment damage caused by lightning surges and switching events. While it offers a robust 400 kAIC interrupt rating and a durable NEMA 1 enclosure, the real value comes from its integration within the Bussmann BSPD family and the trust of the Eaton brand. For facilities operating under regulatory scrutiny, SCAQMD compliance is noted by the manufacturer, with additional certifications available on request. In practice, this device supports reliability, simplifies installation, and aligns with a broader strategy of cost-per-uptime optimization in industrial automation and electrical systems.

High-energy surge protection with a 400 kAIC rating offers immediate relief for critical loads and mission-critical equipment installed in industrial facilities. The BSPD400600Y1K clamps transient energy and diverts surge currents away from sensitive components, reducing nuisance trips, premature aging of electronics, and unplanned downtime. This feature translates to longer asset life for motor drives, programmable logic controllers, and control cabinets in harsh environments, where even a single surge can cascade into costly outages. NEMA 1 enclosure provides rugged indoor protection for mounted configurations in electrical rooms, switchgear compartments, and cabinet racks. The robust mechanical design supports easier retrofit into legacy panels and minimizes enclosure sealing concerns, even in dust-prone settings. Installation compatibility extends to the Eaton Bussmann BSPD series ecosystem, simplifying stock management, cross-referencing with other protection devices, and accelerating field servicing by technicians. Series integration and cataloging (BSPD) offer a predictable protection strategy for OEMs and panel builders aiming to standardize their transient suppression across multiple lines. Using the BSPD400600Y1K simplifies procurement by aligning with the Bussmann protection family, reducing part variability, training time, and warranty complexity. This compatibility translates into faster commissioning, clearer documentation, and fewer integration errors during panel assembly. SCAQMD compliance is listed by the manufacturer, supporting regulatory alignment for California projects and facilities facing emissions-related permitting. While additional certifications such as CE or IP ratings are not specified in the data, customers should verify with Eaton for project-specific requirements. The device nonetheless delivers proven performance under standard electrical environments, offering a reliable layer of transient protection with a clear compliance path for many industrial applications. Compact dimensions and weight support straightforward mounting in tight spaces (14 in long, 10 in width, 10 in height) and a unit weight of 12 lb, enabling easier handling during installation and service. The physical footprint complements typical panel layouts, with room for wiring, labeling, and future expansion. These installation advantages contribute to lower labor costs, reduced field error rates, and improved overall uptime for panel-equipped facilities.
