Eaton UHW-H Cable Limiter - RoHS Compliant (Bussmann)
Part Number: UHW-H
Quick Summary
UHW-H is a cable limiter from Eaton that protects wiring in motor control and distribution panels by trimming fault current. Engineers often battle nuisance tripping and equipment damage when cable protection isn’t properly matched to system fault levels, which can cause unplanned downtime, equipment wear, and safety concerns. The UHW-H family is RoHS compliant, and Eaton provides thorough specification sheets, BOM-friendly catalogs, and validation resources that simplify installation, testing, traceability, and regulatory verification. This translates to faster commissioning, reduced spares, and lower life-cycle costs for panels, conveyors, and machinery operating in challenging environments.

FAQs
The UHW-H is designed for insertion in protected feeder lines within motor control centers and distribution panels. Its compact 1.1 in by 1.1 in footprint with a 3.9 in height enables mounting in tight panel cavities, while its RoHS-compliant construction supports regulatory alignment. When installing, ensure correct orientation for wiring access, secure mounting to a stable surface, and verify that the limiter is compatible with existing Bussmann protection devices to achieve coordinated fault-current management. Use the UPC and catalog number UHW-H to track inventory and ensure the correct part is used in field repairs.
The UHW-H functions as a protective cable limiter within the Eaton Bussmann series, designed to limit fault currents and protect cabling in critical circuits. Key identifiers include the catalog number UHW-H and the RoHS-compliant construction. While exact current rating details are in the Eaton datasheets, field teams benefit from the standardized dimensions (1.1 in length, 1.1 in width, 3.9 in height) and consistent part identity for reliable replacement and coordinated protection strategy.
Yes. The UHW-H is specifically positioned for protection in motor control centers and distribution panels, where compact, reliable cable limiting is essential. Its Bussmann series heritage ensures compatibility with associated protection devices, simplifying integration into existing electrical protection schemes. The RoHS compliance further assures regulatory alignment across industrial facilities, contributing to safer, more dependable panel performance and uptime.
The UHW-H is RoHS compliant, aligning with current environmental and safety standards for electrical components. While the data does not specify additional certifications beyond RoHS in this context, Eaton provides specification sheets and catalogs to support compliance verification, installation validation, and procurement traceability. For projects requiring broader certifications, consult the Eaton datasheet to confirm any region-specific requirements.
Adopting the UHW-H can reduce downtime by ensuring properly matched cable protection, minimizing nuisance trips and equipment wear. The part’s traceable cataloging (UHW-H, UPC 051712198622) streamlines procurement and spare parts management, cutting lead times. Its compact size enables denser panel layouts, potentially lowering enclosure costs, while RoHS compliance supports easier regulatory approvals in many industrial environments.
