Eaton Specification Sheet - BK/GBH-V015A6F
The 500 V rating and 15 A amperage deliver fast fault clearing (5 kAIC) for high-energy fault events, which reduces arc exposure and protects downstream equipment in control panels and power distribution blocks. This translates to lower downtime and fewer costly repairs during electrical faults. The non-indicating design minimizes maintenance checks and simplifies wiring in dense panels, while the rugged cartridge brass body with bright nickel plating resists corrosion and wear in harsh environments. Compatibility with standard fuse holders and a compact form factor cut installation time and minimize replaceable parts in modern machinery. Low watt losses, at 4.48 W, contribute to energy efficiency in continuous operation and reduce heat load inside cabinets. Overall, the GBH-V0 series informs safer, compliant protection for industrial automation projects with predictable lifecycle costs.

FAQs
BK/GBH-V015A6F uses a standard cartridge fuse form factor that fits common Bussmann and Eaton fuse holders. With a length of 1.57 in, width 0.32 in, and height 1.37 in, it drops into cabinet logic modules and distribution blocks quickly, minimizing installation time and potential misalignment during panel wiring.
Key electrical ratings are 15 A current rating, 500 V voltage rating, and 5 kAIC interrupt rating with a 5 kA short-circuit rating. The non-indicating design means status is inferred from circuit behavior rather than a visible flag, and the UL Recognized mark plus CE compliance ensures global suitability for electrical protection and circuit control applications.
The GBH-V015A6F is specified for 500 V systems and 15 A loads, making it suitable for 480 V nominal industrial equipment and control panels. For motor drives and power distribution, its high-speed response minimizes fault energy, protecting downstream components and reducing repair costs, while remaining compatible with standard fuse blocks commonly used in industrial automation.
This fuse is UL Recognized and CE Marked, with documented compliance to applicable European and North American safety standards. These certifications support regulatory acceptance in global panel builds and automation projects, enabling faster approvals and reducing risk during field installations.
The GBH-V015A6F delivers faster fault clearing and robust construction, reducing damage and downtime during faults. Low watt losses help maintain energy efficiency, while durable materials resist wear in harsh environments. Together, these factors contribute to lower replacement frequency, shorter maintenance windows, and a favorable total cost of ownership in industrial installations.
