Special features
Cable limiter
Feature: Delivers 4000 A current rating with a 200 kAIC interrupt capacity. Business Impact: sharply limits fault energy, protecting cables, busbars, and nearby equipment from insulation damage and arc flash risk. Application: ideal for high-demand LV feeders in switchgear and distribution panels. Feature: Cable limiter design confines fault current to the protected cable path, reducing damage propagation. Business Impact: minimizes downtime and replacement costs by containing faults at the source. Application: suitable for long-run feeders in data centers and manufacturing facilities. Feature: Compact enclosure footprint (10.75 in L Ă— 5.75 in H Ă— 5.75 in W) and 9 lb weight. Business Impact: simplifies retrofits and allows clean integration into crowded panels. Application: supports OEM and retrofit projects in existing Eaton Bussmann systems. Feature: IEEE Std C37.41 certification and proven industry compliance. Business Impact: lowers procurement risk and ensures regulatory alignment for critical infrastructure. Application: recommended for regulated facilities and uptime-focused deployments. Feature: Warranty policy and service terms (one year from installation or 18 months from shipment). Business Impact: reduces total cost of ownership and accelerates project timelines. Application: advantageous for multi-site deployments and OEM-grade installations.

FAQs
The 6DSL-E4000 is designed for straightforward integration with Bussmann series protections in low-voltage switchgear. It mounts in standard enclosures and uses compatible lugs and conductor terminations rated for 600 V. Ensure enclosure clearance is sufficient for the 10.75 in length and 5.75 in width, and verify wiring connections follow the conductor ampacity and torque specs in the Eaton datasheet.
Key ratings are 4000 A amperage and 200 kAIC interrupt rating at 600 V. These figures define the device’s ability to limit fault current and protect downstream equipment during short circuits. The unit is certified to IEEE C37.41, aligning with industry practices for current-limiting fuses in distribution systems.
This cable limiter excels in large LV feeders, switchgear, and distribution panels where high fault-current events may propagate along cables. It is well-suited for data centers, manufacturing floors, and industrial facilities needing reliable protection, reduced arc energy, and minimized downtime. Its 600 V rating makes it compatible with common industrial power networks.
The primary certification highlighted is IEEE Std C37.41, indicating adherence to recognized test methods for current-limiting fuses in switchgear. This certification supports regulatory compliance during audits and procurement for safety-conscious projects and helps assure performance under fault conditions in LV systems.
The product carries Eaton’s warranty policy 25-000, offering one year from installation or eighteen months from shipment, whichever occurs first. This reduces total cost of ownership in long-term deployments. Routine maintenance is typically limited to inspection of enclosure fit, terminations, and ensuring no mechanical interference; replacement is straightforward due to its standard Bussmann compatibility.
