Eaton BSPD400600Y1P Surge Protection Device - NEMA 4X
Part Number: BSPD400600Y1P
Quick Summary
The Eaton BSPD400600Y1P surge protection device is designed to guard critical electrical equipment from transient overvoltages in industrial control panels. For engineers contending with unpredictable surges that threaten uptime and equipment life, selecting a robust SPD that integrates quickly with existing panels reduces risk and maintenance costs. This BSPD model features a 400 kAIC interrupt rating and a durable NEMA 4X enclosure, providing reliable protection in harsh environments while minimizing enclosure ingress risks. While this specific unit lists SCAQMD compliance and the BSPD series, users should confirm CE or SIL ratings on model variants directly from Eaton for broader certifications. With strong protection and straightforward installation, it supports electrical safety, regulatory compliance, and long-term total-cost-of-ownership improvements.

FAQs
Begin by verifying panel space and mounting clearances for the 14 in L x 10 in W x 10 in H footprint. Mount the device on a stable sub-panel or enclosure rail, connect input and load conductors per Eaton wiring diagrams, and ensure proper grounding. Use lockout/tagout procedures and verify tight connections to achieve optimal surge protection performance.
A 400 kAIC interrupt rating indicates the device can safely interrupt transient surges up to 400 kiloamps on a 50 or 60 Hz system without internal damage. This translates to superior protection for high-energy sources like large motors and drives, reducing the risk of cascading failures in automated lines.
Yes. The BSPD400600Y1P uses a NEMA 4X enclosure, which provides protection against windblown dust, water, and corrosion. This makes it well-suited for outdoor installations, wash-down areas, and harsh industrial spaces where reliable surge protection is critical.
This model notes SCAQMD compliance. For global regulatory needs, check with Eaton for CE markings or SIL ratings on variant configurations. Ensure your installation region's requirements are met by confirming the exact approvals with the manufacturer before deployment.
By reducing transient damage to drives, PLCs, and motors, the BSPD400600Y1P lowers unplanned downtime and maintenance costs. Its durable enclosure minimizes replacement parts, and modular BSPD series compatibility supports scalable protection as lines expand, delivering improved system reliability and lower total cost of ownership.
