Eaton BK/SC-8 Fuse - Class G, 600 Vac, 100 kAIC

Part Number: BK/SC-8
Manufacturer
Eaton
Part number
BK/SC-8

Quick Summary

The Eaton Bussmann SC fuse provides current-limiting protection for panelboards and industrial circuits. Engineers often struggle to balance fast fault clearing, selective coordination, and minimizing downtime in complex electrical systems. This Class G, 8 A fuse delivers robust protection with RoHS compliance and high interrupt ratings (100 kAIC at 600 Vac and 10 kAIC at 170 Vdc), enabling reliable branch protection across mixed-voltage environments. By combining bulk availability with reliable performance, it supports fast, maintainable protection schemes while reducing replacement costs and stock keeping for electrical protection components.

Special features
Rejection style
Feature: Current-limiting time-delay fuse design provides rapid fault energy limitation, protecting downstream devices and reducing arc energy. Business Impact: Improves equipment longevity and minimizes unplanned downtime in panelboards. Application: HV branch circuit protection and fusible branch panels in industrial plants. Feature: Rejection-style design prevents incorrect fuse installation, enhancing safety and installation accuracy. Business Impact: Reduces mis-wiring risks and service calls during panel assembly. Application: Standard Bussmann catalog environments where multiple fuse portions are mounted together. Feature: 8 A amperage rating aligns with common control and small feeder circuits, enabling precise protection without nuisance tripping. Business Impact: Improves system reliability and lifecycle costs for motor controls and instrumentation. Application: Control panels and small-load feeders in manufacturing lines. Feature: Dual voltage ratings (600 Vac / 170 Vdc) enable use in mixed AC/DC industrial systems, simplifying procurement and stocking. Business Impact: Streamlines design and reduces component diversity in multi-voltage installations. Application: Mixed-voltage electrical rooms and panel enclosures. Feature: High interrupt ratings (100 kAIC at 600 Vac; 10 kAIC at 170 Vdc) and defined response (12 sec at 200%) deliver confident fault clearance. Business Impact: Protects feeders from high fault currents while maintaining selectivity and safety margins. Application: Heavy industrial feeders and subcontracted electrical installations.
