FAQs
Install the 6DSL-C1000 in a well-ventilated, labeled panel with adequate clearance around cables. Its 5.75 in length and 3.38 in width/height fit standard enclosures, and a 4.2 lb weight minimizes handling risk. Ensure correct busbar alignment and secure terminal connections to maintain the 1000 A rating and 200 kAIC interrupt capability.
The device is rated to carry up to 1000 A and operate at up to 600 V, interrupting fault currents up to 200 kAIC. This means it quickly clears high-energy faults in LV feeders, protecting conductors and equipment while reducing arc energy and downtime in fault conditions.
Yes. With its DSL-type current limiter and 600 V, 1000 A ratings, the 6DSL-C1000 is well-suited for LV protection in control panels, motor feeders, and distribution blocks within manufacturing environments. Its compact footprint eases retrofits and new panel builds while meeting typical industry fault-current protection needs.
The 6DSL-C1000 conforms to IEEE Std. C37.41, highlighting its suitability for industrial fault-current protection. This certification helps verify performance under fault conditions and supports compliance during audits and supplier qualifications.
The unit carries a one-year warranty from installation under Eaton’s policy, reducing maintenance risk. Its high interrupt rating and proven reliability help minimize replacement frequency, lowering spare-part costs and downtime. Typical savings come from fewer nuisance trips and simpler stocking of compatible Bussmann series components.
