Eaton 6DSL-B1600 Cable Limiter - 200 kAIC IEEE C37.41
Part Number: 6DSL-B1600
Quick Summary
The Eaton 6DSL-B1600 Cable Limiter is a high-capacity current limiter for low-voltage feeder protection in industrial plants. Nuisance trips and downstream faults can cause costly downtime, and this device helps prevent that. Certified to IEEE Std C37.41, it complements standard protection schemes while delivering fast fault-current interruption. Designed for 1600 A at 600 V with a 200 kAIC interrupt rating, it supports safe, reliable operation and reduces protection coordination concerns. In practice, this limiter streamlines protection strategy, improves uptime, and aligns with common low-voltage protection objectives while supporting broader efficiency and reliability goals for power distribution systems.

FAQs
Yes. The 6DSL-B1600 is designed as part of the Bussmann series protection family and fits standard low-voltage panels and switchgear up to 600 V. It measures 5.75 inches long by 2.88 inches wide by 2.88 inches high and weighs 4 lb, using standard mounting and bus-bar connections for straightforward retrofit or new installations.
The 6DSL-B1600 provides a 1600 A amperage rating, 600 V voltage rating, and a 200 kAIC interrupt rating. It is a DSL-type current limiter designed for rapid fault-current interruption, with IEEE C37.41 certification to support reliable protection coordination in low-voltage distribution networks.
It is ideal for protecting main feeders, motor control centers, and switchgear in manufacturing plants and processing facilities. Its high-current limitation reduces fault severity, minimizes downstream damage, and supports uptime in power distribution systems where space and installation simplicity matter.
The primary certification is IEEE Std. C37.41, which supports protection coordination and reliability in electrical systems. The device is designed to meet industry-standard performance requirements for low-voltage current-limiting protection and is intended for use in compliant electrical installations.
The unit carries a one-year warranty from installation or eighteen months from shipment, whichever comes first, reducing ownership risk. By limiting fault current, it lowers the likelihood of catastrophic damage and downtime, enabling longer service intervals, easier maintenance planning, and a favorable total cost of ownership for power distribution assets.
