Eaton Specification Sheet - BK/80C-3
Remote electrical alarm capability enables signaling of fault events to a centralized monitoring system, delivering faster notifications, reducing MTTR, and helping avoid cascading outages in data centers and network rooms. The business impact is clear: higher equipment uptime, improved operational resilience, and lower support costs through proactive fault management. Applications include telecom racks, switchgear panels, and edge deployments where rapid fault isolation matters and alarm integration is routine. The 3 A at 160 V electrical rating ensures precise protection for low-current telecom circuits, minimizing nuisance tripping while preserving critical links. Users gain reliability with CE-marked compliance, simplifying cross-border procurement and regulatory validation. The compact footprint (0.28 in W, 0.28 in D, 2.685 in H) and standard packaging streamline installation alongside other protection devices in crowded enclosures. Overall, compatibility with the Eaton Bussmann Type 80 line supports easy stocking and consistent performance across multiple sites.
