Eaton 6DSL-C800 Cable Limiter - IEEE Std C37.41
Part Number: 6DSL-C800
Quick Summary
The Eaton 6DSL-C800 cable limiter protects feeders by quickly limiting fault current in low-voltage power circuits. Engineers often wrestle with nuisance trips during startup transients and the risk of conductor damage in dense switchgear. This product carries IEEE Std C37.41 certification, underscoring safe, predictable interrupt performance in industrial environments. The unit delivers 800 A at 600 V with a compact 5.75 in length and 3.38 in width, fitting standard enclosures and simplifying installation. For procurement and maintenance teams, compatibility with the Eaton Bussmann series and quick spare-part sourcing translate into reduced downtime and more reliable plant operation.

Special features
Cable limiter
Feature 1: 800 A, 600 V, and 200 kAIC interrupt rating provide robust fault clearance that protects cables and minimizes arc damage. Business impact: enhanced system reliability and lower risk of catastrophic failure, lowering overall maintenance costs. Application: ideal for distribution panels and motor control centers where high fault currents are possible. Feature 2: Cable limiter functionality reduces nuisance trips during transient events, enabling steadier operation and less unplanned downtime. Business impact: improved up-time and safer startup sequences, reducing production interruptions. Application: feeders feeding motor drives and continuous-process equipment in manufacturing lines. Feature 3: Compact footprint (5.75 in L, 3.38 in W, 3.38 in H) and 4.2 lb weight enable easy retrofit and space-efficient panel design. Business impact: easier enclosure integration and faster installation, lowering project risk. Application: retrofit projects and new panel builds with standard enclosures. Feature 4: Compatibility with Eaton Bussmann series products ensures readily available spare parts and consistent performance across devices. Business impact: simplified maintenance planning and supply chain resilience. Application: libraries of spares for large facilities with multiple Eaton Bussmann components. Feature 5: IEEE Std C37.41 certification supports compliance with industry safety and performance benchmarks, contributing to safer operation and regulatory alignment. Business impact: smoother audits and reduced rework costs. Application: industrial facilities seeking proven interrupt performance and traceable standards.
