1.2 Product overview
The BSPD protects critical electrical and electronic equipment from
damage by surges. This is done by shunting surges (and other
transient disturbances) to ground and away from the equipment on
the circuit that’s being protected. It does this in nanoseconds by
providing a low impedance surge path-to-ground while allowing a
continued, uninterrupted flow of power to the circuit’s loads.
The BSPD is designed for wall mounting (or other vertical surface)
as close as possible to the electrical cabinet or panelboard. The
BSPD is available in voltage ratings from 208-600Vac, with surge
current capacity ratings of 120kA, 200kA, 300kA and 400kA in either
NEMA 1 or NEMA 4 enclosures.
The BSPD is available in three configurations; 1)Basic, 2)Standard,
and 3) Standard with Surge Counter as described in Section 3,
Operating Features . Each configuration is available for Delta and Wye
electrical systems.
All BSPD models have been tested by Underwriters Laboratory (UL)
and are listed to UL 1449, 3rd Edition.
The
Basic configuration BSPD units are Type 1 SPDs that can be
installed on either the lineside or loadside of the service entrance
panel overcurrent protective device. The
Standard and Standard with
Surge Counter
configurations are Type 2 SPDs that can only be
installed on the loadside of the service entrance panel overcurrent
protective device.
All BSPD units enable compliance with 2014 NEC®700.8 that
requires a listed SPD to be installed in or on all emergency system
switchboards and panelboards.
1.3 Safety precautions
A licensed/qualified electrician must complete all instructions in
this manual in accordance with the National Electric Code (NEC®),
state, and local codes and agency requirements, or other applicable
country codes. All applicable local electrical codes supersede these
instructions.
1.4 Catalog numbering system
Each BSPD has a name plate that identifies the parameters used
for manufacture. These parameters are expressed in letters and
numbers to reflect the series, kA rating, voltage/system type code
(e.g., Wye or Delta), configuration and NEMA enclosure rating, as
shown in Table 1. To see the complete catalog numbering / product
build-a-code system, see Section 6.0,
Catalog Number System .
Table 1. catalog numbering system
For example, a 208 volt Wye (4-wire plus Ground) for use in a
NEMA 1 application requires an SPD build-a-code catalog number
BSPD200208Y3K, where:
BSPD = SPD model
200 = the kA rating (200kA)
208Y = the voltage/system type (208Vac, Wye)
3 = the configuration (Standard with surge counter)
K = the enclosure rating (NEMA 1)
These numbers appear as part of the product labels attached to the
side of the SPD. See Figure 1.

2.0 Installation
Important: Read these instructions carefully to assure proper
installation. Ensure all fasteners and connections are tightened to
specified values. Installation in a manner inconsistent with these
instructions will void the warranty.
To ensure integrity of finished installation, do NOT install the SPD if
it has been dropped or abused during the installation process.
The SPD contains no user serviceable parts and cannot be repaired.
Performing the following may compromise the unit’s performance
and will void the warranty:
• Do NOT open or tamper with NEMA 1 units
• Do NOT remove deadfront of, or tamper with NEMA 4X units
• Do NOT megger or hi-pot test the unit
• Do NOT install in a system that has a nominal voltage greater
than the unit’s rated nominal system voltage
• Do NOT install with lead lengths less than six (6) inches.
Doing so will void the warranty
2.1 Preparation for installation
Type 1 and Type 2 SPD NOTE: The Basic configuration BSPD
units are Type 1 SPDs that can be installed on either the lineside or
loadside of the service entrance panel overcurrent protective device.
The
Standard and Standard with Surge Counter configurations
are Type 2 SPDs that can only be installed on the loadside of the
service entrance panel overcurrent protective device.
Before installing a BSPD unit, do the following:
• Verify the SPD’s UL Type is correct for the intended installation —
see above note on Type 1 and Type 2 SPDs
• Confirm that the system voltage and type (Wye/Delta) matches
the SPD you are installing. Check the label on the side of the SPD
for system voltage and type (see
Catalog Number System on
page 11 for details).
• Verify that the area is clear of any dirt, debris or clutter that may
hamper the installation process
• Verify that there is enough space to install the SPD (see
dimensions in Section 2.3,
Installation Procedures ).
• Confirm that all tools, equipment and supplies needed for the
installation are available
• Check the facility grounding system. All grounding, bonding and
earthing must meet the NEC®and any other national, state and
local electrical codes and agency standards.
2.2 Installation locations
The BSPD SPD can be installed next to, above or below any existing
electrical cabinet or panelboard.
The ideal mounting location is as close to the electrical enclosure
and electrical connection points as possible. The BSPD unit should
be mounted in such a way as to minimize lead length and any sharp
bends in the wiring conduit.
2.3 Installation procedures
1. Before mounting the SPD, first determine the location and
ensure that the mounting surface can support the weight of the
SPD (See Figures 2 , 3 and 4 for model weights). For maximum
performance, mount the unit as close as possible to the wiring
connection points within the enclosure.
2. Lay out the four enclosure mounting holes using the enclosure
dimensions provided in Figures 2, 3 and 4. Drill the appropriate
holes per the product dimensions and use #10 fasteners for
NEMA 1 enclosures and 1/4” fasteners for NEMA 4X enclosures.
3. Determine the correct length and install metal conduit onto the
SPD. NEMA 1 SPDs have a 3/4 inch trade size chase nipple and
NEMA 4X SPDs have a 3/4 inch trade size hub. Route all Phase,
Neutral (where applicable), Ground and Form C contact wires
(where applicable) through the conduit.
4. Determine the hole location on the receiving electrical cabinet/
panelboard and either remove the knock-out provided or drill/
punch the appropriate size hole at this location. Route the SPD
wires through the enclosure hole and mount the SPD unit using
the appropriate fasteners for the enclosure’s NEMA rating. Be
sure to remove metallic shavings/plug created during the drilling
or punching process.
Note: On NEMA 4X enclosures, be sure to use appropriate
fittings/gaskets that retain the integrity of the SPD’s and
electrical cabinet’s NEMA 4X ratings after being installed per the
manufacturer’s specifications.
5. Select the correct wiring diagram for the SPD you are installing.
You must refer to this diagram while wiring the SPD. See Figures
6 and 7.
6. Determine the wire lengths required to make the Ground and
Neutral (where applicable) connections and cut the wires to
the appropriate lengths. Again, maximize SPD performance by
keeping these wires as short as possible.
7. Determine the wire lengths required to make the SPD Phase
connections and cut the wires to the appropriate length. (To
maximize SPD performance keep wire length as short as
possible.) Connect the Phase wires.
Note: For wire lengths longer than six (6) inches, maximize SPD
performance by twisting once for every four (4) inches of wire
length.
8. BSPD
Standard and Standard with Surge Counter configurations
have a Form C contact relay for remote monitoring. The Form
C contacts are rated at 150Vac/125Vdc at 1A max. Make the
remote monitoring connections per the Form C contact relay
wire color codes in Figure 5. Follow all national, state and local
electrical codes and agency standards when making these
connections.

BSPD SPDs for switchgear and power distribution panels
3.0 Operating features
3.1 General
The BSPD SPDs are available in three configurations:
• Basic
• Standard
• Standard with surge counter
Each configuration is described below.
The BSPD SPDs require no operator involvement other than to
monitor the display panel to determine SPD status.
After installation and system power is applied, the SPD automatically
begins protecting downstream electrical equipment from voltage
transients.
Some SPD units have a Form C contact relay that allows for the
remote monitoring of SPD status. Form C contact relay wires are
permanently connected to the SPD.
3.2 Displays and indicators
All BSPD configurations have a system status display panel. The
display panel is slightly different for each.
All display panels have green and red Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs)
on each phase to indicate the protection status. Green indicates
the phase is protected. Red indicates a loss of protection. Units for
Wye electrical system have an additional set of green/red LEDs to
indicate Neutral-to-Ground protection status.
standard and standard with surge counter units have an audible
alarm will sound when any red LED illuminates.
Specific operating conditions displayed for each configuration are
described below.
3.2.1 Basic
The basic configuration display panel is shown in Figure 7.
Figure 7. Basic configuration display
The Basic configuration is a Type 1 SPD that can be installed on the
lineside or loadside of the service entrance overcurrent protective
device and has the following features:
• Green LEDs: Illumination indicates the phase is fully protected,
and operating normally. Note: An illuminated green LED on a
phase does NOT indicate power ON/OFF status, just the surge
protection status of that phase. On Wye units with a Neutral
wire, an additional illuminated green LED indicates the Neutral-to-
Ground is fully protected, and operating normally.
• Red LEDs: Illumination indicates a loss of protection, and that one
or more protective devices are inactive and unavailable for that
phase. Note: Red LEDs do NOT indicate power ON/OFF status,
just the surge protection status of that phase. On Wye units with
a Neutral wire, an additional illuminated Red LED indicates loss of
Neutral-to-Ground protection.
3.2.2 Standard
The Standard configuration display panel is shown in Figure 8.

4.0 Troubleshooting
Many SPD failures result from improper installation. Once the SPD
is properly installed, it is a highly reliable unit. If the SPD does
not function properly, first confirm that the SPD is correct for the
system voltage and type (Wye/Delta) and is properly installed (See
Section 2,
Installation ).
If the SPD malfunctions after it has been routinely operating, refer to
Table 2,
Troubleshooting Chart . This troubleshooting chart lists con-
ditions, probable causes and solutions. Further assistance may be
obtained by calling our Application Engineering Team between 7:00
a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Central Time, at 1-855-287-7626 or sending an
e-mail to fusetec[email protected].
