FAQs
The 6DSL-E2500 is designed for straightforward panel mounting within standard enclosures. Verify enclosure depth allows the 10.75 in length, secure the unit per the manufacturer’s mounting pattern, and connect the cables using appropriate lug connections rated for 2500 A. Ensure adequate clearance for heat dissipation and follow lockout/tagout procedures during installation.
With a 2500 A amperage rating and a 200 kAIC interrupt rating at 600 V, this cable limiter rapidly limits fault current to protect cables and equipment. This combination reduces arc energy, minimizes downstream damage, and improves availability for heavy-load feeders common in motors and large distribution panels.
Yes, the 6DSL-E2500 carries IEEE Std. C37.41 certification, indicating performance reliability under fault conditions. It is designed to integrate with Eaton Bussmann protection schemes and standard low-voltage protection architectures, helping ensure consistent coordination with upstream devices.
Industrial power distribution, data centers, and large electrical rooms benefit from cable limiter protection. The device minimizes let-through energy during faults, protects feeders and cables, and supports uptime by reducing the likelihood and duration of abnormal outages in high-load environments.
Eaton provides a standard warranty per Selling Policy 25-000, typically one year from installation or eighteen months from shipment, whichever occurs first. This coverage, coupled with Eaton’s technical support, helps prevent unexpected replacement costs and supports maintenance planning across sites.
