FAQs
The 6DSL-B2000 is designed to protect high‑current feeds and cables in panelboards, switchgear, and motor control centers. Its 2000 A rating at 600 V and 200 kAIC interrupt capacity help prevent fault propagation, minimize arc energy, and safeguard insulation. This makes it suitable for data centers, manufacturing lines, and process plants where reliable protection reduces unplanned downtime and maintenance costs.
Key ratings include a 2000 A amperage rating, 600 V voltage rating, and a 200 kAIC interrupt rating. Together, these values ensure the device can safely interrupt large fault currents at standard low voltages without compromising conductor integrity. This translates to faster fault clearance, reduced damage to cables and bus assemblies, and improved overall system safety.
Compatibility with the Eaton Bussmann series simplifies procurement and reduces BOM complexity. Installers can source a matching fuse family with consistent mounting, electrical characteristics, and regulatory alignment. This speeds assembly in control panels and switchgear, minimizes field rework, and supports standardized maintenance procedures across multiple sites.
The device carries IEEE Std. C37.41 certification, confirming adherence to recognized electrical protection standards for fault current limiting. This certification supports compliance during audits, enhances safety program credibility, and reduces the burden of supplementary testing when qualifying protection devices for industrial installations.
Maintenance requirements are minimal once installed, with periodic inspection of connections and verification against panel specifications. ROI comes from reduced fault energy, less insulation wear, and shorter downtime during fault events. In high‑demand environments, the robust 2000 A/200 kAIC capability helps protect critical loads and extend asset life, delivering tangible cost savings over time.
