Special features
Cable limiter
With a 400 A amperage rating and a 200 kAIC interrupt rating at 600 V, the 6DSL-A400 delivers rapid fault interruption to protect cables and equipment. This capability minimizes fault energy, reduces arc flash exposure, and extends component life. It supports reliable service in factory feeders, switchgear buses, and machine-control circuits where fast, selective clearing is essential. The durable DSL-type design ensures consistent performance across repetitive duty cycles in challenging industrial environments. Designed as a cable limiter, it confines the fault current path to the affected segment, improving selective coordination across panels and downstream devices. The outcome is fewer nuisance trips and lower repair costs after a fault incident. Engineers can deploy it in motor starters, drive systems, and critical cable runs where protection boundaries must be clearly defined. The result is faster fault isolation and minimized collateral damage, even in dense wiring schemes. IEEE Std C37.41 compliance provides confidence in performance under short-circuit conditions, while the 600 V rating aligns with common low-voltage industrial systems. This combination supports compliance with utility and OEM specifications during panel builds and retrofits. The device pairs with standard Eaton Bussmann series protection to streamline testing and approvals. In practice, this means consistent protection that technicians can document quickly during commissioning. Physical footprint includes a length of 5.75 in, width of 2.5 in, and height of 2.5 in, with a weight of 3.95 lb, enabling straightforward installation in crowded enclosures. The compact form factor and standard mounting footprint reduce panel modification time and simplify retrofits across existing cabinets. Installation compatibility extends to both new builds and modernization projects where space is at a premium. The device's cable-oriented design supports tidy routing and protective harnessing in dense installations. Warranty terms (one year from installation or 18 months from shipment) help mitigate procurement risk and provide service continuity. Accessible technical datasheets and the Eaton Selling Policy 25-000 support maintenance planning and compliance checks. The unit integrates smoothly with Eaton Bussmann series devices and other low-voltage protection schemes, offering a clear upgrade path and consistent protection performance. Customer support and field engineering resources are available to validate configurations.
