Eaton RES-6 Fuse - 10 kAIC at 250 Vac
Part Number: RES-6
Quick Summary
Eaton RES-6 fuse provides time-lag protection for electrical circuits in industrial and commercial applications. Many engineers struggle with nuisance trips and downtime when protection is misapplied or hard to source. Critical considerations include class H protection and a high interrupt rating, while the non-indicating design minimizes panel clutter. This solution aligns with the need for robust time-delay protection in electrical protection and circuit control, delivering reliability, ease of sourcing, and consistent performance across industrial installations.

Eaton Specification Sheet - RES-6
The RES-6 fuse uses time-lag protection, which reduces nuisance tripping during motor start-up and short transient inrush events, delivering real-world uptime benefits and lower maintenance costs in industrial environments. This translates to improved system availability and predictable protection for feeders and controls, especially in manufacturing lines, HVAC units, and lighting assemblies that experience brief overloads. Its 6 A rating paired with a 600 V voltage rating and a 10 kAIC interrupt capacity at 250 Vac provides robust fault isolation while safeguarding adjacent equipment, improving safety compliance and reducing the risk of collateral damage. The Class H, non-indicating design minimizes visual inspections in high-density panels, supporting quick field servicing without false indicators and enabling cleaner, more durable control cabinets. With a compact 5 in length and standard packaging of 10 pieces, installation is straightforward and stocking is efficient for procurement teams. Compatibility with Eaton Bussmann series holders and standard fuse blocks ensures a smooth retrofit or panel upgrade, reducing engineering time and assuring coordinated protection across the system. In practice, this fuse helps facilities managers meet reliability targets and maintain uptime without sacrificing protection margins or service life.

FAQs
The RES-6 is designed for Eaton Bussmann series compatibility and fits standard fuse blocks that accept Class H time-delay fuses. When retrofitting, verify holder spacing, mounting clearance, and terminal size for 6 A devices rated at 600 V. Ensure the panel's short-circuit current rating aligns with the 10 kAIC interrupt capability to maintain system protection integrity.
Key ratings are 6 A amperage, 600 V voltage rating, and 10 kAIC interrupt rating at 250 Vac. These parameters define fault-clearing capability and sustain protection under normal operation. The time-lag feature accommodates motor inrush and transient loads without nuisance trips, improving reliability in equipment like drives, HVAC, and pumps.
Yes. The RES-6 is well-suited for industrial and commercial control panels requiring reliable time-delay protection for low-to-moderate current circuits. Its Class H construction, non-indicating feature, and compact form factor support dense panel layouts while providing robust protection against short circuits and nuisance trips in typical building automation applications.
The provided data does not specify explicit CE or UL certifications. For regulatory compliance, consult Eaton’s official datasheets or contact Eaton technical support to confirm current approvals and local code alignments before deployment in regulated installations.
The RES-6’s time-lag design reduces nuisance trips from inrush, lowering unplanned downtime and maintenance costs. Its high interrupt rating enhances fault protection, potentially avoiding downstream damage and repair costs. Packaged in a 10-count standard set, procurement and stocking simplify inventory management, contributing to faster project timelines and overall lifecycle cost savings.
