2  RSPF Series Catalog Number 

Each Eaton RSPF Series SPD is identified by a Catalog 
Number, see example in 

Table 1

.  The Catalog Number 

identifies the parameters that make up the unit. 

Table 1. Catalog Numbering System 

 

 

 

For example, an RSPF Series SPD with a Catalog 
Number of RSPF2403MA1A, where: 

RSP = RSP Series 

F = Surge Frame 

240 = Voltage Code 

3 = Number of Phases 

MA = Type and current rating of panel 

1 = Feature Package 

A = Application 

See 

Section 10

Ordering Guidelines

 for additional 

voltages, features, and service options. 

3  RSPF Series Product Nameplate 

Each Eaton RSPF Series SPD has a Product Nameplate 
affixed to the front of the unit that identifies Catalog 
Number and operating parameters.  The Catalog 
Number consists of letters and numbers which identify 
the RSPF Series, surge frame, voltage code, number of 
phases, panel bus rating, feature package, and 
application as shown in

INSTALLING AN SPD THAT IS IMPROPERLY RATED 
FOR THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM VOLTAGE COULD 
CREATE A POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS CONDITION, 
RESULTING IN INJURY OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE. 

CHECK THE VOLTAGE-RATING LABEL LOCATED 
ON THE FRONT OF THE SPD TO VERIFY THAT THE 
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM’S VOLTAGE AND WIRING 
CONFIGURATION ARE THE SAME AS THE SPD. 

FOR USE ON CIRCUITS DELIVERING UP TO 200,000 
RMS AMPS.  CONVIENT Á DES CIRCUITS 
PRODUCISANT AU PLUS 200,000 A EFF. 
 
BEFORE MOUNTING THE SPD IN AN ELECTRICAL 
SYSTEM MAKE SURE THERE IS NO VOLTAGE 
PRESENT WHERE WORK IS TO BE PERFORMED.  
VOLTAGES IN ENERGIZED EQUIPMENT CAN 
CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH. 

4.1 

Pre-Installation Checklist 

o

 

Does the panelboard have a 3 pole FD Frame 
breaker space available. 
 

o

 

Does the panelboard have a panel with an 
opening that will allow the front of a RSPF 
Series SPD to protrude through after installation.
