Eaton Specification Sheet - BK/SC-6
Feature → Business Impact → Application: The BK/SC-6 is a current-limiting fast-acting fuse rated at 6 A, designed to sharply limit fault energy and protect downstream equipment. This translates to reduced arc energy, minimized collateral damage, and shorter downtime in critical HVAC and panelboard circuits. Application: HVAC branch circuits and control panels where fast interruption is essential to protect motors and drives without nuisance tripping. Feature → Business Impact → Application: It delivers a high interrupt rating of 100 kAIC at 600 Vac and 10 kAIC at 170 Vdc, ensuring reliable protection even during high-energy faults. Application: Industrial controls and power distribution panels that experience mixed-voltage fault conditions. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Rejection style design reduces mis-fusing in multi-slot panels, improving installation accuracy and stock utilization. Application: Standardized Bussmann series installations in equipment racks and power centers. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Class G and non-indicating features simplify field maintenance and inventory management, lowering total cost of ownership. Application: Bulk bulk-packaged fuses for large-scale projects and contractor stocking. Feature → Business Impact → Application: RoHS compliant construction supports regulatory compliance and sustainability goals. Application: Deploy in electronics assemblies and facilities requiring RoHS conformity.

FAQs
BK/SC-6 is a 6 A, current-limiting fast-acting fuse rated for 600 Vac and 170 Vdc, with a 100 kAIC interrupt rating at 600 Vac and 10 kAIC at 170 Vdc. It uses a Class G rejection-style design and bulk packaging, making it compatible with standard Bussmann series panelboards and HVAC control circuits.
The BK/SC-6 provides 100 kAIC at 600 Vac and 10 kAIC at 170 Vdc, offering strong fault current interruption to minimize damage to transformers, drives, and motors. This high interrupt capability helps prevent arc energy transfer, reducing downtime and extending equipment life in high-energy fault scenarios.
Yes. The BK/SC-6 is RoHS compliant, aligning with regulatory and sustainability goals. While no CE or SIL certifications are listed in the data, the fuse’s Class G designation and standard Bussmann design conventions support compatibility with regulated electrical protection strategies in commercial and industrial settings.
BK/SC-6 is commonly used for HVAC branch-circuit protection and in fusible panelboards within commercial buildings and light-industrial facilities. Its rejection-style design reduces incorrect fusing, while its bulk packaging supports large-scale installations and simplified stocking for contractors and OEMs.
The fuse is non-indicating, which reduces maintenance checks but requires periodic inspection for blown devices. Bulk packaging lowers stocking costs, and the high interrupt rating minimizes downstream damage, contributing to lower overall maintenance and replacement costs in facilities with frequent fault events.
