Eaton SCV8 Fuse - 100 kAIC at 600 Vac, CE Marked
Part Number: SCV8
Quick Summary
The Eaton SCV8 fuse provides current-limiting protection for control panels and distribution systems. In busy electrical rooms, nuisance trips and short fuse life disrupt production and complicate maintenance scheduling. CE Marked compliance and a high energy interrupt rating—100 kAIC at 600 Vac and 10 kAIC at 170 Vdc—support reliability in demanding environments. This SCV8 fuse pairs robust protection with standard packaging and a compact form factor, offering a practical balance of safety, performance, and cost-efficiency for industrial applications. The fuse is a member of Eaton Bussmann’s Bussmann series, designed to integrate smoothly with common panel layouts while keeping spare parts inventory straightforward. For engineers seeking predictable protection without sacrificing downtime, SCV8 delivers clear business value and peace of mind.

FAQs
The SCV8 is designed for standard Bussmann series fuse holders and standard packaging. Its dimensions (0.41 in depth, 1.31 in height, 1.955 in width) enable straightforward replacement in typical control panels and power distribution assemblies. When selecting holders, ensure the holder’s retaining mechanism accommodates a non-indicating, time-delay fuse and supports the 8 A rating for safe, reliable operation.
SCV8 is an 8 A current-limiting time-delay fuse with an interrupt rating of 100 kAIC at 600 Vac and 10 kAIC at 170 Vdc. The voltage ratings are 600 Vac and 170 Vdc, covering common AC and DC circuits in industrial environments. This combination supports both traditional control circuits and DC-powered equipment in mixed installations.
SCV8 is well-suited for control panels, motor protection, and power distribution in automation facilities. Its time-delay characteristic tolerates inrush currents typical of motor starters and drives, while its high interrupt ratings protect equipment during faults. This makes it a practical choice for equipment racks, PLC cabinets, and MCCs in manufacturing settings.
The SCV8 carries CE Marked compliance, indicating conformity with European safety standards. While the data set focuses on CE compliance, these markings support regulatory alignment for international panels and modular systems, helping procurement teams meet safety requirements without additional certifications for common European installations.
By combining current-limiting protection with a time-delay profile, the SCV8 minimizes nuisance trips during normal inrush events while still interrupting faults effectively. This reduces unnecessary panel outages, lowers spare-part usage, and shortens maintenance windows, delivering a tangible return on investment in automated facilities and critical process lines.
