FAQs
The 6DSL-D3000 is designed for low‑voltage power distribution environments up to 600 V, with applications in switchgear, panelboards, and feeders in industrial facilities. Its 5.75 in length and 4.25 in width enable mounting in space‑constrained enclosures, while the 6.4 lb weight supports straightforward handling during retrofit or new installations.
The unit provides a 3000 A amperage rating, a 600 V voltage rating, and a 200 kAIC interrupt rating. Catalog number 6DSL-D3000 and UPC 786670249931 identify the device, which is part of the Eaton Bussmann series and optimized for fast fault isolation in high‑energy circuits.
A cable limiter is a current‑limiting fuse designed to rapidly interrupt fault currents up to 200 kAIC, thereby constraining arc energy and protecting conductors. This reduces insulation damage and downtime compared with less‑capable fuses, making it ideal for protecting large cables in industrial feeders and switchgear assemblies.
Yes, the 6DSL-D3000 carries IEEE Std. C37.41 certification, indicating adherence to established safety and performance criteria for low‑voltage protective devices in power systems. This compliance supports reliable operation in critical installations and assists with regulatory acceptance during audits and inspections.
The product comes with Eaton’s warranty policy: one year from the installation date or eighteen months from shipment, whichever occurs first. This warranty supports maintenance planning and asset reliability, while Eaton’s support resources and datasheets (including the official specification sheet) help address installation questions and long‑term service needs.
