BSPD surge protective devices
High capacity surge protective devices
for switchboards
Product description:
Features and benefits:
Eaton’s Bussmann series
BSPD Surge Protective
Devices (SPDs) help protect
electrical and electronic
equipment from overvoltage
surges. What’s more, they
enable compliance with 2014
NEC® 700.8 that requires a
listed SPD to be installed
in or on all emergency
system switchboards and
panelboards.
•
®
Bussmann series
high current capacity
SPDs deliver reliable
surge protection for
switchboards and
power distribution
panels.
The RoHS compliant
BSPD uses thermally
protected Bussmann series
SurgePOD™ technology to
safely shunt overvoltages
to ground while its thermal
disconnect capability
eliminates the need for
additional fusing.
120kA to 400kA surge
current capacity
ratings (Imax) meet the
requirements of larger
switchboards and
electrical panels.
•UL® maximum 20kA
nominal discharge
current rating (In) and
200kA Short-Circuit
Current Rating (SCCR)
meet most system
requirements.
•
easyID™ LED indicators
provide surge protection
status at a glance.
•
Available Form C
contact, EMI/RFI
filtering and surge
counter options to meet
specific application
requirements.
NEMA® 1 enclosure
Prewired and factory sealed for easy
installation and enhanced electrical
safety.
NEMA 4X enclosure
304 stainless steel housing meets the
needs of demanding environments
and also comes prewired and factory
sealed for easy installation and
enhanced electrical safety.
Value features:
All BSPD units are UL Listed 1449 3rd Edition SPDs with Bussmann
series SurgePOD thermally protected MOV technology that delivers
reliable surge protection with high surge current capacity. Every
BSPD unit is factory sealed to enhance safety by preventing access
to energized parts, and eliminate arc flash and shock hazards. All
units are prewired with a conduit interface — just make conduit
runs, mount the unit and make all wire connections.
They are available in NEMA 1 and 4X enclosures that are up to 50%
smaller than other products with comparable ratings. Enhanced
protection status indication is provided by green and red LEDs that
show the true surge protection status on a phase, not the power
status on the phase. This is more reliable and accurate than many
surge protective devices that only have single color indicators that
simply show if power is applied to a phase, not the protection status
on the phase. There are also green and red LED indicators for Wye
units to show the N-G mode surge protection status.
