Eaton 6DSL-D2500 CDC cable limiter - IEEE C37.41
Part Number: 6DSL-D2500
Quick Summary
The Eaton Bussmann series CDC cable limiter protects feeders by limiting fault current in industrial power circuits. Maintenance teams struggle with protecting large cable runs from short-circuit faults and cascading failures. Certifications include IEEE Std. C37.41, and the unit is designed for up to 600 V systems with a 200 kAIC interrupt rating. Its robust construction supports reliable installations in harsh industrial environments, while compact dimensions simplify panel space and wire routing. This current-limiting fuse delivers faster fault interruption than standard fuses, reducing downtime and extending equipment life, which helps engineering teams meet reliability targets and budget timelines. Designed for OEMs and maintenance, it streamlines compliance reporting and spare-part planning.

Special features
Cable limiter
High current rating and fast interrupt: The 6DSL-D2500 is a low-voltage DSL-type current-limiting fuse rated for 2500 A at 600 V, with a 200 kAIC interrupt rating. This combination clamps fault energy quickly, protecting cables, bus, and downstream equipment while reducing arc energy, heat, and potential collateral damage. In industrial plants, it enables reliable protection for large feeders and motor-start circuits, supporting safer starts and minimizing process interruptions. Cable limiter feature and installation: The device includes a true cable limiter function, isolating faults near the source and limiting damage along long cable runs. This translates to lower spare-parts costs, simpler fault diagnosis, and shorter maintenance windows. It is well-suited for retrofits and new builds where space is at a premium and wiring constraints require compact, standardized protection devices. Physical footprint and compatibility: With 5.75 in length, 4.25 in width, and 4.25 in height, and a weight of 6.4 lb, the unit fits common enclosures and matched mounting patterns. The Catalog Number 6DSL-D2500 and UPC 786670249887 simplify stocking and procurement. It is designed for seamless integration within Eaton Bussmann and broader electrical protection schemes and carries IEEE Std. C37.41 certification for recognized protection performance. Reliability and support: Eaton backs the CDC cable limiter with a standard 1-year warranty (or 18 months from shipment) and robust datasheets, including an Eaton Specification Sheet. For projects, installers can reference the Bussmann series Fuseology video for installation guidance and best practices. These resources help engineering teams justify ROI through improved uptime, shorter MTTR, and lower total cost of ownership.

FAQs
Installers should verify the panel enclosure accommodates the 5.75 in length, 4.25 in width, and 4.25 in height of the 6DSL-D2500, then secure the device to the mounting framework as per manufacturer guidelines. Connect the feeder and downstream cables to appropriate lugs, ensuring rated conductor sizing for 600 V systems. Confirm the unit aligns with IEEE C37.41 expectations and use the provided UPC 786670249887 for procurement and traceability.
The 6DSL-D2500 provides 2500 A amperage, a 600 V voltage rating, and a 200 kAIC interrupt rating. This enables rapid fault interruption on high-current feeders, minimizes fault energy transfer to cables, and reduces the risk of insulation damage and arc energy. These specs support protection for large motor feeders, switchgear, and bus duct configurations in demanding industrial environments.
Yes. Its high current rating, 600 V capability, and 200 kAIC interrupt rating make it suitable for data centers, manufacturing lines, and process plants where large feeder protection and fast fault clearance are critical. The cable-limiter feature further benefits long cable runs by limiting fault energy at the source, enhancing reliability and uptime in space-constrained installations.
The product carries IEEE Std. C37.41 certification, indicating adherence to recognized protective performance standards for current-limiting fuses. This certification supports compliance during audits and PSM/ARC reviews, particularly for systems with high fault-current demands. While other regional certifications may apply, IEEE C37.41 is a core benchmark for medium- to high-energy protective devices in industrial power networks.
The device’s robust fault-current protection reduces downtime and equipment damage, which translates to lower MTTR and fewer spare parts for cable fault management. A standard 1-year warranty (or 18 months from shipment) provides peace of mind for maintenance planning. Overall, deployments can shorten commissioning time, improve system reliability, and lower total cost of ownership in both retrofits and new installations.
