Eaton SC-60 Fuse - Class G Rejection Style Current-Limiting
Part Number: SC-60
Quick Summary
The Eaton SC-60 fuse provides fast-acting, current-limiting protection for industrial control panels and motor circuits. When short circuits occur, nuisance tripping and costly downtime are common pain points that this device helps to prevent. CE marked and RoHS compliant, with a Class G rejection-style design and high interrupt ratings, the SC-60 supports global compliance and selective protection. For panel builders and OEMs, the compact 2.25 in length, ferrule-end connections, and 60 A rating translate into easier installation, predictable coordination, and reduced spare parts requirements. This makes it a practical choice for standard electrical protection in automation and machine building, aligning with ongoing maintenance and compliance programs.

FAQs
The SC-60 uses ferrule-end connections, offering straightforward insertion into standard ferrule terminals. Ensure compatible panel terminals are rated for 60 A and 480 Vac, and maintain proper clearances to accommodate the 2.25 in length and 0.41 in width. Use a non-indicating fuse indicator if you require external status feedback, and follow manufacturer torque specs for secure termination.
Key ratings include 60 A amperage, 480 Vac voltage rating, and 100 kAIC interrupt capability at 480 Vac along with 10 kAIC at 300 Vdc. The 12 second response time at 200% helps limit arc energy, reducing damage during faults. These specs enable robust protection in industrial control panels and motor circuits operating at standard automation voltages.
Yes, the SC-60 is CE marked and RoHS compliant, supporting global compliance. Its current-limiting, fast-acting design minimizes arc energy in fault conditions, and its Class G rejection-style configuration supports selective coordination in multi-fuse panels. However, check enclosure IP ratings and ambient temperature requirements in your specific application to ensure full suitability.
The SC-60 carries CE marking and RoHS compliance, indicating conformity with European safety, health, and environmental requirements. These certifications help simplify qualification for EU markets and industrial deployments worldwide, reducing risk during audits and helping meet supplier and customer compliance expectations in regulated industries.
The SC-60’s fast-acting protection minimizes downtime caused by nuisance trips and short circuits, while its high interrupt ratings support safe maintenance in fault conditions. The rejection-style design reduces unnecessary outages by improving selective coordination, potentially lowering spare-part usage and maintenance labor costs over the equipment’s life cycle.
