Special features
Quickship
High-current protection with a 3000 A rating and 1.6 kV voltage capability provides robust fault-current limiting to guard feeders and switchgear, reducing the risk of arc-flash events and collateral damage. This translates into measurable downtime reduction, lower maintenance costs, and improved overall equipment reliability in critical manufacturing lines and data-center environments. The compact enclosure measures 7.25 in in length, 6 in in width, and 6.25 in in height, with a weight of 8.4 lb, enabling straightforward retrofits in crowded electrical rooms or cabinet enclosures. Certifications aligned to ANSI/IEEE protection standards help streamline compliance during audits and project handovers, while Quickship availability shortens lead times for time-sensitive upgrades. The product’s 1-year warranty (or 18 months from shipment) provides added ROI defense and predictable maintenance budgeting. Compatibility with Eaton Bussmann series components and standard wiring practices ensures easy installation and minimal training requirements for technicians on site.

FAQs
Installation typically involves mounting the device within standard LV panel spaces, verifying enclosure clearance, and connecting to the feeder conductors per the Eaton wiring guidelines. The compact dimensions (7.25 in L × 6 in W × 6.25 in H) and a weight of 8.4 lb facilitate retrofits in crowded cabinets, while the included spec sheet provides torque and termination details to ensure secure, code-compliant connections.
The 6DSL-D3000-Q is designed to comply with a suite of ANSI/IEEE protection standards, including C37.46, C37.40, and C37.48 (with additional C37.x considerations as listed by Eaton). These certifications support reliable protection performance, facilitate regulatory approvals, and align with industry best practices for low-voltage fault-current limiting in distribution systems.
Yes. The device is part of the Eaton Bussmann series and is designed for seamless compatibility with Eaton’s Wiring & Connectivity ecosystem. It supports standard wiring practices, simplifies panel integration, and benefits from shared documentation such as the Eaton specification sheet, which guides installation, safety, and maintenance procedures.
Eaton provides a one-year warranty from the date of installation or eighteen months from shipment, whichever occurs first. This warranty structure helps protect return on investment for uptime-critical applications and supports predictable maintenance budgeting for panels and switchgear upgrades.
Quickship reduces project lead times, accelerating commissioning and minimizing downtime during upgrades. For facilities upgrading feeders or replacing aging protective devices, faster delivery translates to shorter outage windows, faster validation, and improved overall equipment availability, delivering measurable return on investment through reduced downtime and quicker throughput improvements.
