Eaton REN-6 Fuse - Class H Time Lag 10 kAIC Protection
Part Number: REN-6
Quick Summary
The Eaton REN-6 fuse provides reliable overcurrent protection for industrial and commercial electrical systems. It helps prevent damage to panels, motors, and controls by applying a purposeful time-lag response to fault conditions. While the core specs emphasize Class H construction, a 6 A rating, and a 10 kAIC interrupt capacity, this REN-6 fuse stands out as a robust choice for panel builders and electricians seeking predictable protection with contractor-friendly installation. With a 250 V rating and ferrule-end terminations, it also reduces maintenance complexity and speeds replacement workflows, supporting faster downtime recovery and asset protection in demanding environments.

Eaton Specification Sheet - REN-6
Time lag in REN-6 provides controlled fault interruption that minimizes nuisance trips in systems with transient loads, improving uptime and operator confidence in industrial panels. This translates to lower maintenance costs and fewer unplanned shutdowns, especially in facilities handling motors and transformers. The Class H construction paired with a 6 A rating at 250 V and 10 kAIC interrupt capacity delivers consistent performance across a broad range of commercial and light industrial applications, ensuring regulatory compliance and predictable protection for feeders and control circuits. The ferrule-end connections offer reliable terminations, enabling faster, more secure installations and simpler field replacements without specialized tools. At 2 inches long with compact 0.56 inch by 0.56 inch dimensions, installation density is improved in crowded panel enclosures, supporting scalable protection across multiple circuits. The non-indicating design reduces routine inspection overhead and simplifies inventory management, while standard packaging of ten units per pack aids procurement planning. The REN series’ “super lag” feature further reduces nuisance trips during surge events, aligning protection with upstream breakers and minimizing cross-talk between devices in modular panels. This fuse is well-suited for equipment panels, motor control centers, and distribution boards where reliable protection, ease of installation, and long-term maintenance efficiency are critical for lifecycle cost reduction and asset uptime.

FAQs
REN-6 uses ferrule-end connections, enabling quick, secure terminations in standard Bussmann fuse blocks and panelboards. This design supports fast field replacements and consistent contact integrity, reducing termination-related faults. Ensure ferrule size matches your termination hardware and follow enclosure guidelines for vibration and clearance in industrial installations.
The REN-6 is rated for 6 A, 250 V, with an interrupt rating of 10 kAIC. These specs suit industrial and commercial circuits where moderate current protection is required and allow safe interruption of faults while limiting energy release. Use in systems with transient loads where time-lag behavior prevents nuisance trips.
Yes, the REN-6 supports inductive applications thanks to its time-lag characteristic, which delays full current interruption to accommodate inrush and motor start-up surges. This non current-limiting feature protects drivers and downstream devices while providing predictable fault response in motor control centers and distribution panels.
Industrial and commercial structures with panel boards, motor controllers, and distribution circuits benefit from the Class H REN-6 fuse. Its 2 in length and compact profile simplify panel layout, while 10 kAIC interrupt capacity ensures robust protection for moderately powered equipment in harsh environments.
REN-6 fuses reduce downtime by minimizing nuisance trips and enabling faster replacements due to ferrule-end terminations and standardized packaging of ten per pack. The non-indicating design lowers routine checks, while the time-lag behavior improves protective coordination with upstream devices, contributing to lower lifecycle costs and steadier plant operation.
