High capacity Type 1 and Type 2 SPDs for overvoltage protection on switchgear and power distribution panels
Introduction
The BSPD Series of surge protective devices are tested by Underwriters Laboratory and Listed to UL 1449, 3rd Edition to help ensure equipment is protected with highly reliable surge protection technology. Delta and Wye system units are available in three configurations to increase application flexibility. The BSPD Series is for installation external to an electrical enclosure or panelboard. Application of BSPD Series units throughout a facility will help ensure that equipment is protected.
Applications
BSPD Series units are available for common Delta and Wye system voltages in a variety of surge current capacity ratings from 120kA to 400kA. Available in three configurations, the BSPD Series’ features and options make it easy to specify units for many electrical applications including service entrances, distribution switchboards, panelboards and point-of-use. All possible combinations of product attributes are available for ordering in the catalog number system
Features
• BSPD uses Bussmann SurgePOD™ thermally protected Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV) technology to safely shunt overvoltages to ground while its thermal disconnect capability eliminates the need for additional fusing
• 200kA SCCR meets the highest NEC® requirements
• Models available to meet the overvoltage protection needs of Wye and Delta electrical systems from 208 to 600 volts, 3-phase
• BSPD has the highest nominal discharge current (In) of 20kA per UL 1449 3rd Edition. This rating indicates the SPD’s ability to handle a number of large-magnitude surges over a short period of time and remain operational.
• 120kA to 400kA surge current capacity (Imax) ratings meet the needs of larger switchgear and power distribution panel applications
• Optional Form C contact relay, EMI/RFI filtering and surge counter available to meet additional system requirements.
• 200kA Short-Circuit Current Rating (SCCR)
• NEMA 1 or NEMA 4X enclosures
• RoHS compliant
• 10 year warranty
Agency information
• Basic, Standard and Standard with Surge Counter configurations UL Listed, 1449 3rd Edition, File E316410, Guide VZCA, CSA Certified, Notice 516, File 243397
• Standard and Standard with Surge Counter configurations are also UL Recognized, 1283 5th Edition, File E316410, Guide VZCA2, CSA Component Acceptance, Std. C22.2, No. 8-M1986, File 243397
Factory sealed to improve electrical safety
All BSPD Series units are factory-sealed to eliminate arc flash and shock hazards, as the user/installer has no chance of coming into contact with energized parts. The units also contain no userserviceable parts or wire lugs that require periodic retightening to eliminate the need for periodic maintenance.
Bussmann SurgePOD technology eliminates the need for additional fusing
BSPD uses Bussmann SurgePOD modules that each contain an internal element that safely disconnects upon reaching an overvoltage breakdown condition.
Prewired
All BSPD units are factory wired for ease of installation. Simply install any necessary conduit runs, mount the unit and make all wire connections. No need for internal wiring or access to the unit’s inside.
Compact size takes less space
Available in enclosures that are up to 50% smaller than other products with comparable ratings the BSPD Series come in NEMA 1 and 4X enclosures that differ in size according to their surge current capacity (Imax).
NEMA 1 BSPD Series units.
• The 120-200kA surge current capacity units are housed in a 74 square-inch enclosure that is only 3-1/2 inches deep.
• The 300-400kA surge current capacity units are housed in a 74 square-inch enclosure that is only 6 inches deep.
NEMA 4X BSPD Series units.
• The 120-200kA surge current capacity units are housed in a 108 square-inch enclosure that is only 5-3/8 inches deep.
• The 300-400kA surge current capacity units are housed in a 108 square-inch enclosure that is only 7-11/16 inches deep.

Enhanced protection status indicators
Unlike many SPDs that only have single-color indicators, all BSPD units include green and red Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) that indicate the true protection status for each phase.
If power is removed from any one phase, the unit’s LEDs continue to indicate the protection status on that phase — regardless if power is applied to the phase. This feature ensures proper indication.
If power is removed from any one phase, the unit’s LEDs continue to indicate the protection status on that phase — regardless if power is applied to the phase. This feature ensures proper indication.
Although many SPDs on the market have N-G surge protection, they do not always have a means of monitoring and indicating the protection status of that mode. All BSPD units for Wye systems also contain green and red LED surge protection status indicators for the Neutral-to-Ground (N-G) connection. Like the phase protection status LEDs, the N-G protection status LEDs show the true protection status in the N-G mode.
By specifying the BSPD Series, users are supplied with accurate information concerning the surge protection status of their electrical systems.
Configurations
The BSPD Series provides users with three configurations. These are:
• Basic (UL Type 1 - can be installed in UL Type 2 locations)
• Standard (UL Type 2)
• Standard with Surge Counter (UL Type 2)
The proper configuration can be selected based on application requirements or specification.
